I’ve just finished initial flash and config of OpenWRT and turned up AdGuard home and AdGuard DNS. So far everything except for one device on the network is behaving as expected- my Eufy camera base station. Disabling block lists and white listing via AdGuard isn’t helping it can’t communicate with whatever controls the cloud bit and switching geo location home/away from phones. I’m thinking I need to do two things:
-make a reservation for the MAC - which I did through Luci.
-use alternate DNS and pipe this host through to Google DNS (since I’m fairly certain AdGuard DNS is why the host stopped working). Since I don’t think the gui exposes setting an alternate DNS for this device, I’m going to use putty (for the first time). If I can figure out getting into the command line and getting to the host file…will this work?
config host
option name 'EufyHomeBase'
option dns '1'
option mac '8C:85:80:94:76:42'
option ip '10.0.1.117'
option tag 'altdns'
config tag 'altdns'
list dhcp_option '6,8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4'
