Elgato Key Light Air	Partly works Local	Some users get Failed to connect and no auto-discovery; mDNS and IP both fail Saved copy The problem I just installed an Elgato Key Light Air on my WiFi network via iOS app. When scanning the network, I find it with an mDNS Name = elgato-key-light-air-c433.local The network scan also indicates port 9123 is open as type grcp. I am able to ping both IP and mDNS from within a terminal session on HA. I have rebooted and restarted HA, and it won't auto discover. I get a 'Failed to connect' error when trying to manually configure the integration with both IP and mDNS values. Nothing shows up in the logs when I enter acceptable values.

Limitations from the docs

The integration communicates with the Elgato Light device over the local network. If the device is not reachable, its entities become unavailable.
Color control is only available on devices that support it, such as the Light Strip. Color temperature and brightness are available on all supported models.
The battery level sensor and studio mode switch are only available on the Key Light Mini, as other models do not have a built-in battery.
The power-on settings are stored on the device itself, so they also apply when the light is switched on at the wall rather than through Home Assistant.
Elgato does not publish firmware separately; it ships inside the Elgato Control Center application. Home Assistant reads the firmware from the copy Elgato publishes, so checking for updates needs an internet connection. Everything else in this integration works entirely on your local network.
