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

      Seems I was off the mark, as TrueNAS does things differently than pure Docker. According to this thread you need a bridge network and/or to convert Home Assistant to a TrueNAS custom app to get the host mode checkbox.
