SOLVED: Using config to enable/disable background discovery [message #1800269]

When a system is stable and in steady state, and there's no need to discover things, system resources can be saved by disabling discovery services for the bindings one has installed.

I understand how to enable/disable background discovery using the background config parameter and the configurationPid when the Discovery Service is declared using the @Component annotation. Like this with a configurationPid of discovery.nameofbinding

discovery.nameofbinding:background=false

However, what about when the Discovery Service is created, activated, and registered in the Handler Factory, such as how it's done in the Hue binding? Is there a way to enable/disable background discovery using a configuration parameter when the Discovery Service is running using this approach? If not, is there some other way to do it?

For those there is no common way to enable/disable discovery. The only option is to make it a config parameter of the bridge whether or not it shall provide information about newly discovered devices - see https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/blob/master/extensions/binding/org.eclipse.smarthome.binding.bluetooth.bluegiga/src/main/java/org/eclipse/smarthome/binding/bluetooth/bluegiga/handler/BlueGigaBridgeHandler.java#L174-L178 for an example.

Thanks. I had a feeling that would be the case. I ended up doing exactly what you suggested.

An "external" component could be easily deactivated programmatically.
See e.g.

It should be easy to create a simple service that can be configured which other components should be disabled (e.g. org.eclipse.smarthome.config.discovery.internal.DiscoveryServiceRegistryImpl or every implementation of ...)
