Allow Hostnames in Bridge address

Hey
Is there anyway to input a hostname instead of IP address so Deconz can work remotely?
If not, this is a feature request

P.S - I have VPN options already

It is on the wish list for future development.

Would you like the hostname to be separate to the local IP address? If so, Hue Essentials would first try to connect to local IP, and if that fails, use the (slower) hostname control.

either option works but for it to be more universally usable I guess give the user both options and validate based on at least one option being valid
