Go ahead, looking forward to your pr 🙂

I've no experience with the whole git thing. Here is a diff for the above mentioned GetFirstLocalIPAddress func.

Since the hap.Config solution is more involved, it will take a while longer.

Please check if commit 82a77ed resolves this issue

Seems to work for me though it might be nicer to be able to specify the ip address as a string in the config (like all the other config vars) and then convert it in code with net.ParseIP. The fix for the "Invalid characteristic found when using HomeKit and AppleTV for remote access #43" also seems to work great. Thanks much.

Sorry for the slow reply - sometimes I get updates from github via email and other times I only see them when I visit this webpage. Anyhow, I tried it and the IP as string seems to work as expected. One last(?) request would be to somewhere still have the

log.Println("[INFO] Accessory IP is", ip)

that used to be in "func (s *MDNSService) Publish() error" of hap/mdns.go

just as a sanity check to make sure the ip address you specify is the one being used. Not completely necessary but could be helpful in debugging.

Works as desired. Thanks.
