Device Discovery
Regardless of device protocol, AggreGate always does its best to minimize the amount of manual work required for connecting and configuring new devices.
Most communication protocols support some discovery mechanisms which AggreGate tries to hook into letting you connect most devices in "plug-and-play" style.
Discovery and Provisioning Methods
| IP network scanning (host-by-host polling) |
| Broadcast-based discovery of network-enabled hardware controllers in a local network segment |
| Automatic configuration of discovered controllers for communicating with AggreGate |
| Automatic creation of server-side device accounts |
| Scheduled auto-discovery and auto-connection |
| Discovery of available device settings, operations and events |
| Remote configuration of controllers which don't have server-side accounts |
