Smart Home Device Map
Discovery Summary
This device map is based on live network discovery from the Mac mini using ARP + Bonjour/mDNS resolution.
Subnet observed:
- 192.168.178.0/24
Gateway:
- 192.168.178.1

Type: printer
- Service: _ipp._tcp
- Name: C.H Printer
Not Confirmed Yet
These were not clearly discovered in the first pass: - Alexa endpoints - Google Cast devices - Apple TV / Home Hub identity - exact IKEA accessory list behind TRADFRI - stars / decorative lights (explicitly not connected)
Inferred Topology
Lighting layer
- IKEA ecosystem via TRADFRI bridge
Audio layer
- Sonos zones:
- Dining Room
- Family Room-s
- Bedroom-s
- AirPlay endpoints:
- Dining Room
- Living Room
- Macs
Control layer
- likely Apple Home / HomeKit friendly environment
- Mac mini is a potential automation/control host
Immediate Automation-Relevant Devices
For Morning Dining
- Dining Room Sonos / AirPlay endpoint
- Kitchen light via TRADFRI/HomeKit
For Dinner Mode
- Kitchen light(s)
- Dining Room light(s)
- Dining Room Sonos
For Movie Night
- all connected lights
- Family Room-s audio available if later desired
- stars excluded (not connected)
Recommendation
This is enough confirmed infrastructure to implement V1.
Further discovery is still useful, but not required before building: 1. exact kitchen light device naming 2. exact dining room light naming 3. whether Dining Room audio should use Sonos-first or AirPlay-first
