Discovery

Open Peer Power can discover and automatically configure zeroconf/mDNS and UPnP devices on your network. Currently the discovery integration can detect:

It will be able to add Belkin WeMo switches automatically, for Philips Hue it will require some configuration from the user.

Zeroconf discoverable integrations [Axis](/integrations/axis/)/[ESPHome](/integrations/esphome/)/[HomeKit](/integrations/homekit_controller/)/[Tradfri](/integrations/tradfri/)/[Google Cast](/integrations/cast/) have been migrated to use [zeroconf](/integrations/zeroconf) integration to initiate discovery.

To load this integration, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml file:

Troubleshooting

UPnP

Open Peer Power must be on the same network as the devices for UPnP discovery to work. If running Open Peer Power in a Docker container use switch --net=host to put it on the host’s network.

Windows

64-bit Python

There is currently a known issue with running this integration on a 64-bit version of Python and Windows.

could not install dependency netdisco

If you see Not initializing discovery because could not install dependency netdisco==0.6.1 in the logs, you will need to install the python3-dev or python3-devel package on your system manually (eg. sudo apt-get install python3-dev or sudo dnf -y install python3-devel). On the next restart of Open Peer Power, the discovery should work. If you still get an error, check if you have a compiler (gcc) available on your system.

DSM and Synology

For DSM/Synology, install via debian-chroot see this forum post.
