If you want examples how to use tcp connections check my signature for the examples Glabol Caché iTach Wifi2IR Checker and UPS info through NUTS.

 

In short:

1 - Make a VD with the IP and port settings of your target device entered

2 - Write the lua code (for experimenting use a button and not the mainloop)
