## Connecting your local network
ESPSomfy RTS will not connect to your local network until you have disconnected from the dedicated access point that you are currently connected to. So to connect to your local network disconnect your computer from the ESPSomfyRTS WiFi network. When there are no connections to the dedicated access point set up by ESPSomfy RTS it will reboot and connect to your local network.
Once you disconnect ESPSomfy RTS will no longer be available on 192.168.4.1 and will be assigned an IP address from your local network. Your ESPSomfy RTS device has rebooted it should be available on the IP address assigned by your router or at the host name you provided in the previous step. On an Apple or Linux device you will find it at http://<host name>.local and if you enabled SSDP on Windows it will be at http://<host name>. DNS can be stupid sometimes so you may need to look in your router for the IP address.

# Setting up a Fixed IP Address
By default ESPSomfy RTS uses the Domain Host Control Protocol (DHCP) settings in your router. I highly recommend allowing your router to do its job and assign the IP address. However, you should reserve the address in the DHCP settings for your router so no other device can be assigned the IP address. 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.
