How can I change the device name in STA mode. I see the name "espressif" now.

Hey,
it's not quite clear what your screenshot is showing and I don't know the exact issue. I guess it's showing physical devices currently connected to your AP?
In that case, the shown device names probably rather identify your devices
manufacturers (by MAC address OUI) than hostnames and you won't be able to change that. MAC addresses starting with OUI (organizationally unique identifier)
30:A8:DB are owned by
Sony, those starting with OUI
30:AE:A4 are owned by
Espressif - you can easily look that up for your own if you want to.
But if it shows hostnames (by DHCP), maybe give
tcpip_adapter_set_hostname(...)Code: Select all
esp_err_t tcpip_adapter_set_hostname(tcpip_adapter_if_t tcpip_if, const char *hostname);
a try

its don`t work
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(tcpip_adapter_set_hostname(TCPIP_ADAPTER_IF_STA, "ULA"));
device name still "Espressif "

Sounds like the thing shows the owner of the MAC address (the default hostname for Espressif devices is ESP-xxxx, not Espressif). No way to change that, apart from perhaps getting your own OUI from the IEEE so you can give out your own MAC addresses...

Hmm, seems it's indeed not MAC-related. In that case, tcpip_adapter_set_hostname should change the id. No idea what else the name could come from, perhaps you can ask your router manufacturer?

Same question here... I actually tried to connect multiple esp32-cams with the router, but
EVERY unit is named as
espressif, which seems to be problematic:
The
FIRST device connected in will block the rest with the
Destination Host Unreachable message.
What's your symptom?
And have you solved this by rename the device name ? For instance:
- expressif1
- espressif2
- espressif3
- etc.

Have you tried changing the `Local netif hostname` in the `menuconfig` option?
"idf.py menuconfig"
Found in the "Component config" -> "LWIP"

after
Code: Select all
esp_netif_init();
esp_netif_t *sta_netif = esp_netif_create_default_wifi_sta();
you can change hostname
Code: Select all
esp_netif_set_hostname(sta_netif, "my tiny daemon");
