Interface API
The iTimer includes an interface which allows integration to third-party home-
automation systems. It includes a built-in simple IP command language, or API .
This creates one-way interface, allowing commands to be sent to the iTimer, which
are immediately relayed to the lighting, outside.
Any network enabled device (app or other control system) can open a socket and send
one of the plain text messages detailed on the next page;
The iTimer’s interface is via a ‘listening’ UDP socket at it’s IP address on port 10001.
Multiple devices can be interfaced through one iTimer device provided the socket is
not kept ‘open’. The client device should open the port, send a command and then
close the port immediately.
