Once discovery has completed, an Alexa device will not automatically re-discover a device that has changed IP/Port (although you can manually run discovery, and it will re-align with known devices).

The package should make it simple to restart on the same address/port that was previously advertised, even if that was auto-allocated on the first run.

I don't like that the service is always discoverable - it should provide a discovery timeout option.

When timeout is set, the controller will only advertise SSDP and the setup URL for the specified duration. After that, only devices that have already discovered (or otherwise "know" the address/protocol) can control the smartswitch.

We should be able to support multiple "devices" using the same http server and advertiser (i.e. controller), probably just with different URI paths.

That would be better than starting a discrete controller for each implementation of the Switch interface.
