## This library is deprecated. We will no longer release new versions, fix bugs or accept pull requests. If you are looking to make your Home Assistant integration discoverable, use [the zeroconf and SSDP manifest options](https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/en/next/creating_integration_manifest.html#zeroconf).
# NetDisco
NetDisco is a Python 3 library to discover local devices and services. It allows to scan on demand or offer a service that will scan the network in the background in a set interval.
Current methods of scanning:
- mDNS (includes Chromecast, Homekit)
- uPnP
- Plex Media Server using Good Day Mate protocol
- Logitech Media Server discovery protocol
- Daikin discovery protocol
- Web OS discovery protocol
It is the library that powers the device discovery within [Home Assistant](https://home-assistant.io/).
### We are no longer accepting PRs that implement custom discovery protocols. Only PRs that use mDNS or uPnP are supported. See [this issue](https://github.com/home-assistant/netdisco/issues/230)
## Installation
Netdisco is available on PyPi. Install using `pip3 install netdisco`.
## Example
From command-line:
```bash
python3 -m netdisco
# To see all raw data:
python3 -m netdisco dump
```
In your script:
```python
from netdisco.discovery import NetworkDiscovery
netdis = NetworkDiscovery()
netdis.scan()
for dev in netdis.discover():
print(dev, netdis.get_info(dev))
netdis.stop()
```
Will result in a list of discovered devices and their most important information:
```
DLNA ['http://192.168.1.1:8200/rootDesc.xml', 'http://192.168.1.150:32469/DeviceDescription.xml']
google_cast [('Living Room.local.', 8009)]
philips_hue ['http://192.168.1.2:80/description.xml']
belkin_wemo ['http://192.168.1.10:49153/setup.xml']
