and this is a clear NO to such an API. I have seen the Android mess that happens in their UI and I do not even want to go anywhere close this. It needs to be an independent list of object paths with most likely a separate interface. If the device is reachable and known they can share an object path in that case, but that is about it. We might be getting away with the same Service interface and just having Connect etc. return a new and unique error message. I do not even have objection if want to change the IP address of a service that is not in range. That can be all possible, but you have to retrieve that list differently. This is also a pretty much strong requirement, because otherwise all other semantics will break. The current GetServices API is an actual stable API. We guarantee that these devices have been found and in range.
