UDP commander

This plugin allows to receive UDP packages over a certain UDP port and generates an event if the message content matches the param command.

Note: This plugin is ment to be combined with a rule.

Usage

If you create an UDP Commander on port 2323 and with the command "Light 1 ON", following command will trigger an event in nymea and allows you to connect this event with a rule.

Note: In this example nymea is running on localhost

$ echo "Light 1 ON" | nc -u localhost 2323
OK

This allows you to execute actions in your nymea system when a certain UDP message will be sent to nymea.

If the command will be recognized from nymea, the sender will receive as answere a "OK" string.
