Hostname

• The hostname allows access to the device’s user interface using a name instead of just the IP address.

• The default hostname follows the format "blue-x" + last 8 digits of the hardware serial number. 

• If you want to change the hostname, consider the following: 

  • Avahi is used to publish the hostname to the network. Ensure the Avahi toggle is activated. 

  • Changing the hostname will impact an active SSL certificate. See SSL certificate.

  • The hostname cannot be changed if a power control master is enabled or if a Kaco device with update capability is connected.
