 Hi Fibaro team, @k_kucharski@m.roszak

I would like to request UDP socket support for user-created QuickApps on Home Center 3.

Some local integrations depend on UDP-based protocols, discovery, or request/response communication. One example is Nilan Gateway, which uses a local UDP-based Micro Nabto protocol. Without UDP support in QuickApps, these integrations require an external proxy or bridge service, even though the actual device is available on the local network.

For many HC3 users, requiring an extra Raspberry Pi, NAS service, or local server defeats the purpose of having the Home Center as the central automation hub.

It would be very useful if QuickApps could access a supported UDP API, for example:

- create UDP socket
- send datagram to host/port
- receive datagram responses with timeout
- optionally enable broadcast/multicast for discovery

Even a limited, sandboxed UDP API would make many local LAN integrations possible without external services.

Is UDP socket support for user QuickApps something Fibaro could expose officially in a future firmware release?

Thanks.
