Capacitimer

NOTE: Compatible with Capacitimer v1.2.1+

Network Discovery

The module uses mDNS/Bonjour to automatically discover Capacitimer instances on your network. Discovered instances appear in the configuration dropdown.

WebSocket Connection

The module maintains a WebSocket connection for real-time updates at ws://[host]:3001. If the WebSocket disconnects, it will automatically attempt to reconnect every 5 seconds.
