    99__Installation (UI5)__ 
    10 1. Download and unzip the attached zip file. 
     101. Install the TCPLighting app from the MiOS App Marketplace (i.e. the ''Apps / Install Apps'' page). 
    1111 
    12 2. Upload all of the plugin XML, JSON and LUA files using the ''Apps / Develop Apps / Luup files'' page.  Make sure to click the ''Restart Luup after upload'' checkbox. 
     122. Wait for the Luup restart to complete. 
    1313 
    14 3. Wait for the Luup restart to complete. 
     143. If you are lucky, the auto-discovery feature will have detected the Connected By TCP gateway and configured its IP address.   It will then poll the gateway and create child devices for each bulb.  If a bulb's room name matches that of a Vera room, it will be automatically added to the room.  
    1515 
    16 4. Once the upload and Luup restart are completed, use the ''Apps / Develop Apps /  Create Device'' page to create a new device for the gateway. 
    17  a. Enter '''D_TCPLightingGateway1.xml''' in the ''Upnp Device Filename'' field. 
    18  b. To try out the experimental gateway auto-discovery feature, leave the ''IP'' field blank.  See the notes on Auto-Discovery below. 
    19  c. If you know it, you can also enter the IP of your gateway in the ''IP'' field.  
    20  
    21 5. Wait for the Luup restart to complete. 
    22  
    23 6. Refresh the Vera UI for good measure. 
    24  
    25 7. When the gateway device is initialized, it will poll the gateway and create child devices for each bulb.  If a bulb's room name matches that of a Vera room, it will be automatically added to the room.  Note that the device UI for the bulbs is often partially rendered when first created.  A browser refresh normally fixes this. 
     164. If the auto-discovery failed, you will see the message ''No gateway IP address specified, autodiscovery failed'' in the gateway device UI.  Some of the reasons why this might happen, and how to manually configure the gateway IP address are outlined in the Auto-Discovery section below.

    3526If 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.

     29* First version available in the MiOS app Marketplace. 
     30* Functionally the same as v0.4, except that it will now auto-update by virtue of being in the app marketplace.
