<p>Home Assistant can discover and automatically configure <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-configuration_networking">zeroconf</a>/<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_DNS">mDNS</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Plug_and_Play">uPnP</a> devices on your network.

<p>It will be able to add Google Chromecasts and Belkin WeMo switches automatically, for Philips Hue it will require some configuration from the user.</p>
<p>To load this component, add the following lines to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code>:</p>

<p class="note">
Home Assistant must be on the same network as the devices for uPnP discovery to work.
If running Home Assistant in a <a href="/docs/installation/docker/">Docker container</a> use switch <code class="highlighter-rouge">--net=host</code> to put it on the hosts network.
</p>
<p class="note warning">
There is currently a <a href="https://bitbucket.org/al45tair/netifaces/issues/17/dll-fails-to-load-windows-81-64bit">known issue</a> with running this component on a 64-bit version of Python and Windows.
</p>
<p class="note">
If you are on Windows and youre using Python 3.5, download the <a href="http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#netifaces">Netifaces</a> dependency.
</p>
<p class="note">
If you see <code class="highlighter-rouge">Not initializing discovery because could not install dependency netdisco==0.6.1</code> in the logs, you will need to install the <code class="highlighter-rouge">python3-dev</code> or <code class="highlighter-rouge">python3-devel</code> package on your system manually (eg. <code class="highlighter-rouge">sudo apt-get install python3-dev</code> or <code class="highlighter-rouge">sudo dnf -y install python3-devel</code>). On the next restart of Home Assistant, the discovery should work. If you still get an error, check if you have a compiler (<code class="highlighter-rouge">gcc</code>) available on your system.
<br />
For DSM/Synology, install via debian-chroot <a href="https://community.home-assistant.io/t/error-starting-home-assistant-on-synology-for-first-time/917/15">see this forum post</a>.
