#### How can I read HomeSpan's MDNS broadcast mentioned in the [OTA](OTA.md) documentation?
* HomeSpan uses MDNS (multicast DNS) to broadcast a variety of HAP information used by Controllers wishing to pair with HomeSpan. Apple uses the name *Bonjour* to refer to MDNS, and for years included a Bonjour "Browser" in Safari, though that was eliminated a number of years ago. 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). You'll find all your HomeSpan devices, as well as any other HomeKit devices you may have, broadcasting under *_hap._tcp.* services. The fields broadcast by HomeSpan are a combination of all data elements requires by HAP (HAP-R2 see table 6-7) plus three additional HomeSpan fields:
