TOMMY
Device Discovery

Automatic (Online Coordination)

Uses TOMMY's cloud server for coordination between your TOMMY instance and devices.

TOMMY Flasher Only

Online coordination is only available when using the TOMMY flasher. For ESPHome devices, use Automatic (mDNS) or Manual instead.

Privacy Information

TOMMY communicates with https://coordination.tommysense.com when Online Coordination is enabled:

  • When devices discover: Your TOMMY instance and devices use the coordination server to find each other and establish direct connections
  • Ongoing: Periodically to maintain coordination state while devices are connected

Data transmitted: Only minimal connection metadata (such as identifiers for pairing) is exchanged with the coordination server. Sensing data stays local on your network.

How It Works

Your instance and devices communicate with a coordination server at https://coordination.tommysense.com to establish direct connections. Only minimal connection metadata (such as identifiers for pairing) is exchanged with the coordination server.
