    14143. 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.

    16 4. 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.

    3232__v0.4 Release Notes:__ 
    3333* New approach to flagging offline bulbs. Instead of being rendered invisible, the name off offline bulbs are now prefixed with "[Offline]". The offline labeling can be modified through the ''OfflineDeviceNameFormat'' state variable.  The format string is as per that used by the Lua [http://www.lua.org/pil/20.html string.format] function, where the %s placeholder is replaced with the device name.  For example, if the bulb named "Front Entry Light" goes offline, the default format string of ''[Offline] %s'' will cause the device name to be displayed as "[Offline] Front Entry Light" if the status of the bulb cannot be retrieved.  Changing the value of the ''OfflineDeviceNameFormat'' state variable to ''%s is unavailable'' would result in a display name of "Front Entry Light is unavailable".  A prefix was chosen as the default format string, simply because the Vera UI truncates longer names, thus a suffix would not be displayed in some case. 
    34 * The auto-discovery feature has been made more robust through retry logic. When polling the gateway with a previously auto-discovered gateway IP fails, the IP address is cleared, which will trigger a new auto-discovery attempt at the next polling interval.  See the notes on Auto-Discovery if your are having trouble getting this feature to work.
