# AddController

Adds a Controller to Coordinator. You can specify a Controller by using one of the following parameter combinations:

- UUID (Universal Unique ID).
- IP address and Port.
- HostName and Port. In this case you must also set ConnectByHostName to `True`.

NOTE: You can register Controllers by UUID only if you enable SSDP in your Controllers. In this case, you can use the GetControllers action to obtain the UUID of a Controller.

You cannot register Controllers by UUID if you use GSSAPI authentication.

## Example

    http://123.4.5.67:9000/action=AddController&UUID=d267cf80-063a-8030-a2de-24be0523821c
