hi @kcs-govindtank
Thank you for your comment and interest in this library. I will try to implement it when I have some free time. If you figure it out earlier, you can open a PR.

Hi guys, want to help here.
It should be simple as changing the socket of the provisioner from broadcast to multicast?
I tried but I get some permission errors

Analysing Esptouch app for android I understand that for multicast support we should send data to differents IP, like this function:
public String getTargetHostname() {
if (mBroadcast) {
return "255.255.255.255";
} else {
int count = __getNextDatagramCount();
return "234." + count + "." + count + "." + count;
}
}

@abobija if you know what to do I can start coding for you
