You have to configure your devices manually, take a look at the docs:

thanks~!

When in paperui I have pressed the scan button (top right) and the selected network binding, it went off and scanned my local subnet for devices. Is that not a supported way currently?

It looks like the statement in the docs

For this reason, the binding does not do an automatic background discovery, but discovery needs to be triggered manually.

is only for background discovery, so yes, you should be right.
