# Reserve DHCP Address
You should really take a moment to reserve the IP address and set the host name in your router for the ESPSomfy-RTS device. This will ensure the IP address remains the same each time it connects to the network. If you are an old hat at the IoT thing for your home you know this dance. If not look in the instructions for you WiFi router and reserve the IP address for the device. If you are having issues were occasionally the ESPSomfy-RTS cannot be found by its name then this will likely alleviate that problem.
mDNS is the service that is used for allowing you to connect via the local name of the ESPSomfy-RTS device, while it does work it isn't really that reliable. Making a DHCP reservation complete with the host name of the device will help if you have occasional drop offs from your network.
# General Settings
Once the ESPSomfy RTS device has rebooted access the General tab. There are a few options here for the server. This includes the host name of your Somfy server as well as the time zone and whether the server should announce iself over Universal Plug & Play. If you have isolated the device on your network you can choose a timeserver that is local to your network. This will ensure time logs and backups are in sync.
