Method Detail

searchUPnP

public static List<HueBridge> searchUPnP(int timeout,
                         BridgeDiscovery.BridgeDiscoveryCallback callback)
                                  throws IOException

Search for bridges on the local network using UPnP, and more specifically the SSDP protocol. It usually takes a while for devices to respond, so a typical timeout would be 30 seconds. This function will only return bridge objects with the IP address set, you still need to authenticate manually. You can optionally specify a callback to get bridges as they're being discovered. Pass null if you don't need that.

Parameters:

timeout - time to search in milliseconds

callback - function to call when a new bridge is discovered (can be null)

Returns:

list of bridges discovered

Throws:

IOException

public static List<HueBridge> searchPortal()
                                    throws IOException

Search for local bridges using the portal API. See: http://developers.meethue.com/5_portalapi.html
