About 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:

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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....

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

works great with Tasker to automate lights . the linked Tasker project provides great GUI to control and automate the lights. Note: The new bridge has a new port number of 8899 instead of 50000
