[Question] Why the library uses UDP Multicast Listener #171

Closed console-netsphere closed 3 years ago

console-netsphere commented 3 years ago

I was looking through the source code and I notificied that library creates a UDP listener on initialization. Why this is used? Is it for adversiting packets, to indicate exisitance, for APPS like Google Home or Alexa. Or is it for some other reason?

We have plans to support offline mode (no internet, but has WiFi) in the future releases of the Sinric Pro app. App will communicate with the ESP using UDP
