Multiple devices

[bahlo]

How would one add multiple devices at once?

When I run hap.NewIPTransport("00102003", sw.Accessory) for every device, I get:

2015/07/15 21:49:18 [ERR] bonjour: Failed to bind to udp6 port: listen udp6 :5353: bind: address already in use

The second argument of NewIPTransport() is a variable length array of devices.

You can add multiple devices by calling hap.NewIPTransport("00102003", switch.Accessory, outlet.Accessory)

Okay, thank you very much!

I get the same error when I run _example/example.go even though no other process listens to port 5353. At least this is what the Terminal command lsof -i udp:5353 tells me. Any idea what the problem might be?

[brutella]

The error output comes from here
mDNS uses the same port for IPv4 and IPv6

[0x6368]

Does this mean I can just ignore it, because it already listens on the IPv4 address?

[brutella]

Yes

@brutella How would I go about adding multiple devices dynamically if I have a list of switches in a slice?

I'm new to Golang, and I'm not sure how I'll add a slice.

For example, here is my code:

for _, e := range *aliases {
		switchInfo := accessory.Info{
			Name: e,
		}

		acc := accessory.NewSwitch(switchInfo)
		accs = append(accs, acc.Accessory)

	}

	// TODO: figure out how to get generate this
	config := hc.Config{Pin: "12344321", Port: "12345", StoragePath: "./db"}
	t, err := hc.NewIPTransport(config, nil, accs)

I want to be able to dynamically add accessories

@srizzling You can just expand the slice with ... (more info):

t, err := hc.NewIPTransport(config, nil, accs...)

[brutella]

This should do the trick.

t, err := hc.NewIPTransport(config, accs...)

Ah cheers.. I should have probably read the slices doc. Thanks!
