Does your router have any "mDNS" reflector settings enabled?

See this comment: homebridge/homebridge#2031 (comment)

Hello,
There are no such settings or option on my router, I have already seen this topic,

Can you try disable avahi on the Raspberry Pi?

Make sure you can connect to the Homebridge UI via it's IP address first. After running these commands you won't be able to connect via http://homebridge.local.

At the command line run:

sudo systemctl stop avahi-daemon
sudo systemctl disable avahi-daemon

Then restart Homebridge, then if it's still failing restart the entire Raspberry Pi.

If that does not solve the problem, undo the change with:

sudo systemctl start avahi-daemon
sudo systemctl enable avahi-daemon

[flejta]

after i run and restart the raspberry
sudo systemctl stop avahi-daemon sudo systemctl disable avahi-daemon

sudo systemctl stop avahi-daemon Warning: Stopping avahi-daemon.service, but it can still be activated by: avahi-daemon.socket
sudo systemctl disable avahi-daemon Synchronizing state of avahi-daemon.service with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install. Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install disable avahi-daemon Removed /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/avahi-daemon.service. Removed /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.Avahi.service. Removed /etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/avahi-daemon.socket.
i can still acces the homebridge via http://homebridge.local and still same error.

any ideas?
i have one working image copy of the homebridge, this always works UNTIL i INSTALL Domoticz, after that i have always again the: Error: Service name is already in use on the network

@flejta did you find a solution to this problem? I've tried all of oznu's suggestions about and I'm still getting the same error.
