Auto-discovery of devices

Open marvinroger opened this issue 8 years ago • 7 comments

Going forward, devices will be recognized automatically using mDNS. People would then access a page on the dashboard to accept or refuse devices.

Why did I talked about mDNS? No need to, as the devices are configured to reach the MQTT broker.

Hi Marvin, Can the Homie convention and Homie-Server be used with devices other than the ESP8266? Would they work with Hue lights or ZWave devices?

Simply put, you would have to create a "bridge" between your devices and the convention. Node-RED might help, with https://github.com/marvinroger/node-red-contrib-homie, but this is not documented for now.

Hi Marvin, I do use Node-RED and even played a little with it, but could not do much...

Would it enable controlling other devices with homie-server?

If you intend to use homie-server, the only things it supports for light is on or off, there is no support for colors right now. And I am afraid I won't work on this project before a while.

Color support is not important right now, I'll give it a try...

I got a error on Homie-server start:

You probably have something already listening on port 80, try another port.

Hi! I'm going to archive this project, as I'm not maintaining it anymore. Looking forward to Matter!
