 1. SSDP uses IP multicasts to search for devices providing UPnP services. Depending on how your Vera and local network are configured, the multicast requests may not reach the gateway.  For example, your router may not be configured to forward multicasts from the wired to the wireless segments of your network.  This is also discussed in the documentation for [http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php?action=profile;u=5055 futzle]'s [http://code.mios.com/trac/mios_belkin-wemo Wemo Plugin].
 
-2. VeraLite controllers have a slightly odd network interface configuration which results in situations where the multicast responses may not come back on the expected interface.   This is described [http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,13890.msg104717.html#msg104717 here].  A workaround is described [http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,16905.msg132502.html#msg132502 here], but this pretty well defeats the benefits of auto-disovery, given the steps involved.

 If auto-discovery doesn't work for you, then you can manually specify an IP address by updating the advanced properties of main TCP Lighting gateway device (click the wrench icon, go to the ''Advanced tab'', and enter the gateway's IP address in the ''IP'' field).  You may need to check the DHCP client table of your home router to find the IP address of the gateway.  Another way of getting the IP address is to open a command window on a PC that is on the same network as the lighting gateway, enter the command '''ping lighting''' and note the IP address that the lighting host name resolves to.

 __v0.2 Release Notes:__
 * Includes more robust handling of devices and gateways going offline and coming back online. Device numbers should now be retained so that scenes, etc. are not broken.  Polling continues after a failed HTTP request to the gateway.
-* Experimental and partial implementation of gateway SSDP autodiscovery.
+* Experimental and partial implementation of gateway SSDP auto-discovery.
 * Gateway device will now get a default name assigned.
 * Bulbs will have manufacturer and model attributes set.
