Auto-discovery of devices #3

Closed marvinroger closed 1 year ago

marvinroger commented 8 years ago

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

marvinroger commented 8 years ago

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?

marvinroger commented 8 years ago

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.

homie

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?

marvinroger commented 8 years ago

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.

oguime commented 8 years ago

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

I got a error on Homie-server start:

marvinroger commented 8 years ago

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!
