Broadcast address #28

Closed Radstake closed 7 years ago

Radstake commented 7 years ago

In cases where the network can't find the light, it is due to a non supported broadcast address. E.g my network didn't find the light, but when I hardcoded changed the 0.0.0.0 to my *.255, it worked. Therefore made the broadcast address optional in the config.

When a platform is defined AND "broadcastAddress" is set, it will used that one. In all other cases it will use the default 0.0.0.0

Isn't 0.0.0.0 the bind address for the service? And doesn't discovery use multicast and not broadcast?

Maybe it is a fallback when multicast doesn’t work? Nothing worked, when I changed it to 192.168.178.255 - my channel - everything worked fine!

so strange, since today everthing stoped working, even when using master, with the local changes I made. Could some remote service have changed. Whatever I do, what ever I put in index.js, it always listens to 0.0.0.0
