Static IP and auto discovery - sblantipodi/firefly_luciferin GitHub Wiki
Glow Worm Luciferin devices are auto discovered by Firefly Luciferin PC software using a broadcast communication.
If your ESP is connected to a VLAN or subnet, auto discovery will not work and you will need to enter the IP address manually.
Using a static IP isn't really recommended and is only useful when auto discovery doesn't work.
If you choose to use a static IP you may consider disabling the DHCP feature in the Web Settings of your Glow Worm Luciferin device.
