* No, HomeSpan is coded specifically for the ESP32 and will not operate on an ESP8266 device.
#### Will HomeSpan work on an ESP32-S2 or ESP32-C3?
* HomeSpan is not presently configured for the S2 or C3 versions of the ESP32.

Apple uses the name *Bonjour* to refer to MDNS, and originally included a Bonjour "Browser" in Safari that has since been discontinued. However, there are a number of alternative MDNS browsers available for free that operate on both the Mac and the iPhone, such as the [Discovery - DNS-SD Browser](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/discovery-dns-sd-browser/id1381004916?mt=12).
