UDP Sender

UDP Sender is a simple application to allow sending UDP packets either directly or, as I use it, by acting as a plugin for Tasker/Locale. It is completely free, no ads are used. Please do rate/review it if you find it useful. If you encounter any Issues please log them on Github (via https://github.com/hastarin/android-udpsender/issues) rather than giving poor reviews!For apps not supporting the Tasker/Locale plugin format you can use an implicit Intent Intent.ACTION_SENDTO with a udp://host:port/data format URI to send packets.I'm using it to control my lights from Limitless Led (http://www.limitlessled.com/ aka Mi-Light / Easybulb) via the Wi-Fi bridge and have included a couple of screenshots of the custom Tasker Scene I'm using. I use this scene along with gestures in my launcher to provide quick control of my lights.Source code and more information, including the Tasker project shown, is available on Github:http://hastarin.github.io/android-udpsender/

Just installed on Pixel4 and I don't see any other screens that listed here, especially those customized with lights, bath, etc. If they're there, then I can't figure out how to get there. Seems like unfinished product.

After a reboot have to launch the App manually before using it in tasker otherwise I get a Java io error.

This app is really good but I wish it had a widget for your home screen and different profiles. I don't really want to remember two ips and ports to send packets to.

This is a simple and effective application. It works as advertised. Thank you for contributing to this community. This is a Great program... A UDP server would be nice....

1. Lacks TCP support. 2. Lacks waiting for a response. 3. Due to binding input fields to the data types, one can't use Tasker variables for IP, port and Hex message, when calling this app as a plug-in for Tasker. Without Tasker variables support this addon becomes semi useless.

This app does exactly what it says. Works great with my Milight color changing led bulbs and Tasker.

Using it to send strings to my arduino Ethernet shield! Can feed my fish by sending certain characters. Very simple compared to Linux terminal command

Works out the box! I've used it to send messages from Automate.

I wish it was bi-directional, but it does the job of controlling my wi-fi power points from Tasker. Thanks for sharing. :)

I can now send UDP packets to my arduino to control lighting in my aquarium thanks guy's

Using this to control my lights through Tasker. Works as advertised, sends UDP packets with the specified hex values. Seems reliable (as reliable as UDP can be...) and simple. Very happy with it.

The app cannot parameterize ip address. In fact with only console you can simply use "echo $cmd | nc -u -w1 $ip $port &" (nc in busybox if not found) to send udp message, or wrap it in tasker javascriptlet, both can programmly set ip address and port

FYI, it takes around 25ms to send each packet if that's an issue for you

Some information would be good. Not everyone knows codes

I use this with Tasker to control LPT. Perfect!

A. G. u. Oct 29, 2014     

I don't have or want Tasker. Why can't this target a CNAME instead of just IPs? Also, opening the OSK by default is annoying as hell, especially since it covers the send button.

Perfect for use with Tasker and Mi Light, EasyBulb, Limitless LED.

Yur. G. May 9, 2016     

I feel like I can rule the world with this app.

Sha. B. Jul 17, 2017     

My Light's would be useless without this

Works for sending broadcast s to eventghost...great tasker plugin

Shout have had receiver options too

Qas. M. A. Mar 9, 2016     

I love the apo but sometimes it takes time until it triggers whatever I sent through tasker

Jon. K. Jan 2, 2015     

Does exactly what you'd expect.

Dav. T. Jul 25, 2015     

This does exactly what it needs to do.

Using it with Tasker to mute my stereo when phone rings.

Awesome. Thanks!

I have a java application that uses tcp to send chat messages, just rewrote it to use udp too. Really works well.

Easily ties into Llama as well. Create an Android Intent action, and set the: Action to: android.intent.action.SENDTO Data to: udp://hostip:port/message text
