homebridge-udpserver-multiswitch

Simple UDP server switches for Homebridge - stateful and radio-button/multi-switch switches

*Forked from homebridge-udp-multiswitch

Listens on a UDP port, and alters state based on the UDP packet payload. Developed for use with an ESP8266 device running wallswitch to smarten up your dumb light switch.

Switch Services

Switch (standard on/off)

Meant to be used as a standard on/off switch. Wall switch, etc.

{
        "accessory": "UdpServerMultiswitch",
        "name": "Wallswitch",
        "port": 8261,
        "on_payload": "ff",
        "off_payload": "00",
        "toggle_payload": "80"
}

Multiswitch (radio buttons)

Can be used as a switcher, where only one device is ever on. However, the on_payload, off_payload, and toggle_payload options can also be optionally specified to affect all of the states.

Automatically set power state as off for the other devices.

{
    "accessory": "UdpServerMultiswitch",
    "name": "My Multiswitch",
    "port": 8261,
    "multiswitch": [
                { "name": "Apple TV Mode", "payload" : "43" },
                { "name": "PC Mode", "payload" : "42786sdf787" },
                { "name": "Android", "payload" : "l1479461871215" },
            ]
}
