# homebridge-udp-switch
UDP server switch input plugin for [Homebridge](https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge)
## Installation
1. Install Homebridge using `npm install -g homebridge`
2. Install this plugin `npm install -g homebridge-udp-contactsensor`
3. Update your configuration file - see below for an example
## Configuration
* `accessory`: "UdpSwitch"
* `name`: descriptive name
* `listen_port`: UDP port to listen on for incoming messages
* `mac`: Self-announced MAC address of the transmitting switch (really, any 6 bytes), as a hex-encoded string
Example configuration:
```json
"accessories": [
{
"accessory": "UdpSwitch",
"name": "UDP Switch",
"listen_port": 8266,
"mac": "0102030A0B0C"
}
]
```
Listens for UDP datagrams on port 8266, turns on upon receiving the MAC followed by a 0xFF byte; turns it off when receiving the MAC followed by a 0x00 byte.
If you dig in the code a bit, you can see a trivial way to make this function as a stateless programmable switch.
