UDP Broadcast #1

Open sragas opened 3 years ago

Hi,

just stumbled across your project and it seems to fit my needs perfectly. I planning to integrate the pico device into Home Assistant. The only issue I have, is that the pico device is not sending any UDP data. Do I need to enable anything on the device? At this moment the pico is only by it self without any additional devices. Just a battery with internal voltage sensor is configured for testing.

Do you may have any advise? Thank you in advance!

I'm using my Pico in 'dhcp' mode, not 'ap' mode. That could be a difference. In AP mode it may not broadcast, as it knows which IP a phone is connected to.

The manual also mentions UDP IP/port - that's where the live data is sent to.

Also, the script currently is hardcoded to my config, so you'll need to edit it to accommodate your setup.
