# Avahi Monitor
---
id: AvahiMonitor
title: Avahi Monitor
---
This plugin allows you to discover and monitor zeroconf based services in the local network.
This integration allows nymea to discover and monitor zeroconf services in the local area network.
Avahi is a free zeroconf implementation and is utilised by nymea. Inside nymea:app an added Avahi thing will appear as a presence sensor.
This allows also to monitor the existence of a certain device in the network or just a special service of interest.
## Supported Things
More information and explanation of zeroconf can be found [here](http://www.zeroconf.org/).
* Avahi Monitor
* List all zeroconf services in the local area network during device setup
* Displays the presence of the zeroconf service
* No internet or cloud connection required
## Requirements
* The zeroconf service must be in the same local area network as nymea.
* The router must not block avahi/zeroconf multicast messages
* The package “nymea-plugin-avahimonitor” must be installed.
## More
See http://www.zeroconf.org for more information about the Zeroconf discovery protocol, or see https://www.avahi.org for more information about avahi.
