Alrighty, with a bunch of troubleshooting, it looks like it’s not Padatious’ fault - I had the Home Assistant skill set to my private DNS, which isn’t resolving, likely due to this issue [DNS option not being used with DHCP (Mycroft II) - #5 by j1nx](https://community.openconversational.ai/t/dns-option-not-being-used-with-dhcp-mycroft-ii/12764/5)

When I hardcoded to the Home Assistant IP address, Mycroft works with it perfectly. I suppose that means that there should be some sort of voice or video warning when the Home Assistant configuration is failing? 🙂
