Correct place to call tcpip_adapter_set_hostname() to set Wi-Fi client host name in ESP-IDF

The correct place to call

tcpip_adapter_set_hostname(TCPIP_ADAPTER_IF_STA, "custom-hostname")

is after esp_wifi_start() is called but before esp_wifi_connect() is called.

Thanks! That saved me a lot of time.

OK, I had some problems with that. You cannot run this function twice - it leads to panic. But there are other ways:

  • set CONFIG_LWIP_LOCAL_HOSTNAME value in menuconfig (Component Config -> LWIP -> Local netif hostname) or
  • use tcpip_adapter_set_hostname function.
