Enhance Locating/Selecting/Connecting to HomeBridge #17

Right now, HomeBridge Controller just starts listening for a hub. Once it finds it, it tries to use the configured pin to see if it is authorized. If not, it will just keep spinning. So you are unable to connect, you don't know if its because: A: The HomeBridge is off or doesn't have the plugin installed B: The HomeBridge pin is incorrect and you need to try again C: There are multiple HomeBridge's on your network and it is trying to connect to the wrong one

My thought on how to enhance this (and move towards a much more advance system) is to go true Bonjour style (like Apple Remote app). I figure we can display a view to browse for HomeBridges on the network and display any that pop up. Then you can select which one you want and it will try to connect.

For now, I think I will keep using just a single stored pin. When connecting, it will attempt to use that pin. If it ends up not working, prompt for the hub pin.
