Device Discovery

Device Discovery scans your network and registers devices so you can bind them to workflow nodes without manual IP hunting.

Supported protocols

  • Matter, Zigbee, Z-Wave
  • MQTT brokers and topic discovery
  • BLE / Bluetooth LE peripherals
  • CAN Bus adapters
  • mDNS / Bonjour services
  • Modbus TCP devices (common PLC addresses)

Typical workflow

  1. Open Studio → Discovery and select a protocol.
  2. Run scan; review discovered devices and metadata.
  3. Register devices to your workspace — they appear in the device picker on action nodes.
  4. Use discovered host/topic/register settings in HTTP Request, MQTT Publish, or Modbus TCP Request.
