Not sure if this is an openhab thing or an smarthome thing - so please let me know if I should post elsewhere.

Is there any way to 'discover' the running server? Let's say I have another server that needs to discover all running servers on the network. Does openhab/smarthome provide a way to discover the instances (mdns or upnp or ???)?

Thanks,
Tim

No, Eclipse SmartHome does not offer this directly, that's left to concrete solutions built on top.
Afaik openHAB does it, see e.g. https://github.com/openhab/openhab1-addons/wiki/Service-Discovery
Google & the openHAB forum certainly will be of help here if you have any questions regarding it.

Correct, openHAB announces itself through mDNS/Bonjour - this is also how the mobile apps find the runtime in the local network.

From this link, does it mean it is available in ESH ?

Hi Kiran,

ESH provides the basic mDNS infrastructure to participate in service discovery and service broadcasting (the package your link is pointing to). It does not bring its own functionality to discover other ESH instances or announce itself on the network.

Cheers,
Henning

Hi Henning,

We would like ESH to announce itself on the network.

From where should we start to implement it in ESH ?

Any pointer would be helpful and we would like to contribute the source code as well.

Thanks,
Kiran.

Kiran, this feature already exists, see https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/blob/master/bundles/io/org.eclipse.smarthome.io.rest.mdns/src/main/java/org/eclipse/smarthome/io/rest/mdns/internal/MDNSAnnouncer.java.
