Hey guys,

I’m having some trouble getting back into home assistant. I was running fine on an RPi with HA in docker, but during some tinkering on another project broke the whole thing and it was easier to start from scratch.

Since last time though, I’ve installed a mesh WiFi system (TP link Deco). These are running in Access Point Mode. My new HA is up and running again, but hasn’t auto discovered anything. I recall being surprised last time by the amount of things it found and how easily. I think there are some network settings preventing proper auto discovery, can anyone give me any tips?

Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the advice. Is there a certain YAML file or something I should be looking at to check this? I installed via portainer and haven’t seen any of the configs this time around

      I highly suggest using the “stacks” feature in portainer as it lets you use standard docker compose YAML files to do the config but still lets you have the ease of use of the stop start, pull, CLI UI etc. The default way of using portainer often obfuscates important settings.
