Are you sure this is correct in you auto discovery:

line 14, port 1901, SSDP is about port 1900, ..?

Hi Vincent,
Not sure to be honest as UPNP is not my strong point. I just remember it worked (with the hue Java SDK at least) so I left it at that.
I will investigate over the next few days to and try and get this cleared up. Have you tried it with 1900 with existing hue apps?

Well,

I'm working on a nodejs version which used to function with standard Ssdp stuff including port 1900, but encounter sudden issues.. Not sure whether it's my wifi, updates from Phillips to the apps, updates from apple, or otherwise... Still trying to figure it out..

Will let you know when I've resolved the issue.

It's unfortunate that I don't possess real capture of the Ssdp packet and description.xml from a proper hue bridge

Met vriendelijke groet,

Hi Vincent,

The description.xml from a proper bridge is documented on the developers portal:
http://www.developers.meethue.com/documentation/hue-bridge-discovery (Login/Registration is required).

I did toy with the idea of including it in the emulator at one point, but I wasn't sure if it would add much value (and in any case I seem to recall it was pretty hard to do).

The bridge M-SEARCH result is pretty much the same as in the UPNPServer.java (line 41)
https://github.com/SteveyO/Hue-Emulator/blob/master/src/com/hueemulator/server/UPNPServer.java

Hope this helps.
Steve

hi steve,

thanks for the reply,

still haven't figured out why it wont work, but everywhere is reed, it port 1900

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Burgestrand/hue-api/master/content/api/discovery.md
ssdp-standard (also 1900).

the strange thing is, I receive the M-search messages from my phone, and reply to them, but the app doesn't respond...

Hi Steve,

just to confirm, i've got my auto discovery working, port 1900

var NetworkAddress = require('network-address')

var Server = require('node-ssdp').Server;


var config = {}


config.location = "http://" +NetworkAddress()+ ":80/description.xml"

config.ssdpSig = "FreeRTOS/6.0.5, UPnP/1.0, IpBridge/0.1"
config.udn = "uuid:2f402f80-da50-11e1-9b23-001988102201"
console.log("autodiscovery config: ", config)

var SSDP = require('node-ssdp').Server
  , server = new SSDP(config);
server.addUSN('upnp:rootdevice');


server.start();

process.on('exit', function(){
      server.stop() // advertise shutting down and stop listening
});


module.exports = {};

Hello Steve,

I submitted a pull request with some code to help autodiscovery. check it out.

[Edit]

Also it looks as issue 13 is related to autodiscovery.

Thanks
