i think we discussed this briefly ~2 years ago. we got as far as works for you, not for me, left it there.
FWIW, I had probably removed bonjour and never let it back.
I'm ok with setting it up manually
I also have the hub 3, previously, I think I had the same issue with the hub 1 but that's going way back...

Ps I have at least 2 other android apps which rely on seeing a server component on my pc and do do the auto detect thing quite well. Ultimate remote is one, foobar2000 controller is another...
