This module is built for connection to your raspberry pi without using mDNS. This is useful in cases where
- You are setting up your pi in headless mode.
- The IP address of your raspberry pi changes constantly.
- Broadcasts do not work reliably on your network for mDNS.
- Finding your pi's IP is time-consuming (No access to router / large subnet).
