Not sure if this ever got solved, but I’m running Pihole on my network and eero for gateway, routing, Wi-Fi, and dhcp functions. The gateway address (i.e. 192.168.0.1) is the only one that shows up in the pihole logs.

I have DNS Caching off on my eero configuration, and I’ve got conditional forwarding on on the pihole config.

Anything else I can do to have the individual IPs actually make requests to the pihole without being intercepted by the eero?

    Did that do anything for you? I’m looking at that guide and the only difference I see (besides the Homekit Router support which it doesn’t mention) is that rather than give my piholes IP reservations in the eero app, I gave them static IPs outside of the DHCP lease range on the eero.

      Yep—disabling HomeKit did the trick and I see all my clients in Pihole now. It’s funny that never occurred to me.

      The only problem I have is that I can’t seem to get the client name from the eero. So I just have the IP addresses of the clients in pihole.

        Interesting. It has never occurred to me either. Seeing as how newer eeros don’t have the option and it looks like even Apple isn’t really supporting it anymore, I might disable that too.

          Ah. I’ve got 5s. Didn’t realize it was abandoned tech, so I feel even better about it. I’ll just have to start taking more softly around my lightbulbs.
