Smart devices = zero-conf discoverable interface provider + "destination"

Open markharwood opened this issue 12 years ago • 0 comments

It would be useful if the client device running Control could use Bonjour to find smart devices on your local network that can not only be a "destination" to handle OSC messages but also serve up the interface definition that can be used to control it.

The interface client code/markup and the server process it is designed to talk to are typically very closely related and it makes sense (to me at least) that smart devices offering a service on your network (PVR, printer, washing machine, garage door) should be able to advertise their presence and allow downloads of Control interfaces from the same point - no need to figure out remote URLs etc before you can take control of the device.
