Hi everyone
I decided to give home assistant a go as I’m tired of the lifx app. Plus, it means I can move to different brands of lights and control it on the same app.
I am not overly tech savvy but I know enough to operate my TrueNAS server for my needs. That being said I’m always learning and emjoy it.
I installed it through the truenas apps page (basically just docker). Install was successful, I created a user account and logged in on my phone through the app. So far so good.
I went to search for lifx bulbs but it’s not finding anything.
I’m wondering, have I missed any steps to ensure HA is able to discover bulbs?
Any advice appreciated


Just learned last week that Docker can’t receive UDP traffic unless you forward it explicitly. If the bulbs use UDP for discovery, that would be your issue. Try the host networking mode
