TCP, but not HTTP?

Developer Programs Writing Device Types
1

Hi

I’ve just bought a Smarter Coffee machine and I was thinking about hacking together a Device Type for it.

It communicates with simple TCP commands on port 2081. I’m successfully written a basic device type that can send commands, but I don’t seem to be able to read the response.

I’ve read a few posts from end of 2014 that say “raw sockets” support is coming… but I can’t find any mention of it anywhere.

Is this just not possible with ST at the moment or am I missing something?

Hi @peter.major

Unfortunately, the ST parser cannot process return values from raw TCP. You can still send commands to it though – it just has to be “blind”
