UDP​

The device can transmit instant wind speed and direction over UDP to another device on the network.
A message is sent every 3 seconds.

This feature allows the WindNerd HQ to feed wind data directly to navigation or monitoring software listening for UDP packets.

Field NameTypeDescription
ProtocolSelectProtocol used to encode wind data. Currently only NMEA0183 is supported.
URLInputAddress of the destination device. This can be an IPv4 address (e.g. 192.168.1.50) or a domain name if DNS or mDNS is available on the network.
PortInputUDP port on which the destination device listens for incoming packets.
Save UDP configButtonApply and store the current UDP configuration.
info

UDP transmission requires a continuous network connection. For this reason, it is disabled when the WindNerd HQ operates in Eco mode.
