It would be a very good idea to add a simple "telegramm-player" to linknx for sending TCP Telegramms to the ethernet if a rule is true/false.
This could be a "bridge" between KNX-Telegrams and Computers.
As example imagine the possibility to shut down the server in the cellar by pressing a button on the visualisation.
Until now I solved this by running leibnix and a self-written daemon on the server, but i plan to concentrate all those tasks (distributed on several gadets) by a single one (=openwrt with linknx)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I plan to add this feature when I have some time. I just bought an IRTrans infrared receiver/transmitter and it also works with "simple telegrams". I plan to support text and binary messages, TCP and UDP. Do you think that there is a benefit to have a kind of "persistant" mode with the TCP connection always connected or is it enough to initiate a new TCP connection each time I have to send data?

Hi Jeff!
To keep it simple (and avoid unneccesary traffic) I think it would be OK to send only if there is a message....
There might be problems if a client looses the persistens connection (e.g. Wireless Lan) so there would also a handling-procedure been needet...
greetings from Austria and the best to you & your family for 2009!!

Hi Jeff,
I bought IRTrans few months ago.
Will linknx able to receive UDP commands from IRtrans device ?
Thanks,
Ben
Hi,
Yes, that's the plan.

Hi Jeff,
So great !
And of course linknx will be able to send udp commands to IRTrans.
That's already what I do by executing shell commands.

Hi,
The TCP/UDP telegram feature is part of the new linknx release 0.0.1.26
