@nayelyz Do you know the specifics on discovery of LAN devices with the Wifi hub? Do the devices need to be on the ST wifi subnet, or can they be connected as peer devices to the same network switch?
I have devices that are not discoverable when the driver is installed on a Wifi hub rather than the Aeotec Hub3
@TAustin Maybe you have run into this?
The last Iāve looked at this (and itās been many months), it appeared that multicast messages werenāt getting out of these wifi hubs when sent by my Edge drivers. We proved this when I provided a network traffic monitoring app to someone who was having this problem, and running it on another LAN computer while the driver was in discovery mode showed that in fact no multicast network messages were getting out. Strange thing was that it seemed to be functional for Edgeās own scanning - just not for a community-developed driver.
In your case, how were the devices connected?
Iām not 100% sure since itās been a while; Iāll try to find the original message exchange.
Found the discussion thread and invited you to it so you can see all the progression. He was trying to discover his Roku devices using one of my drivers. So they would definitely have been wifi devices, presumably connected to his wifi router, as was the SmartThings hub. But we couldnāt see any multicast traffic initiated by the driver coming from the hub.
This was a year ago, and still unresolved.
Iām glad to see a light shine thru these issue. Iām one of the ST Wifi users who canāt use any LAN edge drivers (Hue, Lifx, Kasa, Harmony). Hope to see some progress in this issue, does the ST team knows about this?
Hoping to get them into this thread. I would like to know which setups are supported for LAN discovery on this hub.
Is there any news on this? Iāve been told that LAN base edge drivers already work with the ST Wifi Hub, and I successfully installed an Harmony Hub driver and is working, but Iām still having trouble discovering my Hue Hub using @blueyetisoftware awesome driver.
Any thoughts?
This is the error Iām having:

Send me the log, and Iāll take a look. You are the first one to actually get a log. Try to get more of the log before and after. Thanks.
I already have been able to discover the Hue Hub using your driver, but it stays offline and i can linked pressing the button (the hub device is gray out in the ST app) I have rebooted the ST hub and Hue hub a couple of times already (the hue bub has a port reservation if thats important) but the CLI says it scanning for the brigde an nothing happens.
Here is part of the log:

I determined that this was caused because your Hue hub responded with a packet that didnāt include its ID. This is an issue in the Hue hub side. It could be a bad packet from them, or it could be some other device on your network that is inappropriately responding to the broadcast for Hue devices.
