Discovery tool for browsing and resolving locally registered services.

Features & Capabilities

mDNS Discovery is a powerful tool designed for browsing and resolving any systems or services registered on a local area network (LAN). Originally made for devices like ESP8266 and Sonoff smart relays, this extension supports discovering any zero-configuration network services—including those using Bonjour or Avahi protocols.

Users can simply enter the desired service type (e.g. printer, scanner, smb) to find IP addresses, ports, and service attributes. For a comprehensive list of all available LAN services, a long-press on the search button triggers an experimental full discovery feature. Additionally, users can view detailed attributes by long-tapping service cards.

Ideal for developers, network administrators, and smart home enthusiasts, mDNS Discovery facilitates effortless device/service detection within your network. Feedback and inquiries are welcomed via email at invoklab@gmail.com.

User Reviews

Users find mDNS Discovery fast, simple, and effective for discovering specific devices and debugging mDNS setups. The app is well-received for its responsiveness and availability on the Play Store. However, multiple users report it doesn't work on mobile hotspot networks and sometimes provides inconsistent or confusing discovery results. The app's search functionality is limited, requiring exact service type input without wildcards and lacks good grouping of results. Overall, helpful but with room for UX and feature improvements.

Pros

Fast and works well for discovering mDNS services.
Simple and effective user interface aiding in debugging mDNS setups.
Useful for discovering specific devices like model train controllers.
Positive user feedback on UI being nice and responsive.
Available in Play Store and appreciated as a handy tool for mDNS discovery.

Cons

Does not work with mobile hotspot networks or when Wi-Fi is off.
Occasional inconsistency in discovery results across the same or different access points.
Limited search functionality: cannot list all Bonjour services or use wildcards for broader discovery.
User interface could improve grouping of results to avoid repeated devices and improve clarity.
Lack of clarity about service type input (e.g., must type "http" explicitly).

Recent reviews

Works great. Really fast! Just needed to figure out to type http into the service type box and then long press on a device card to have a browser open the service.
