The C# decompile shows enuOmniLinkConnectionType has both Network_TCP=4
and Network_UDP=3 (clsOmniLinkConnection.cs uses udpSend/tcpSend
parallel paths), and clsHAC carries an enuPreferredNetworkProtocol
{TCP, UDP} per-installation byte. User reports their panel is
configured for UDP. The TCP-only assumption was too narrow.
Wire format is identical: same Packet/Message framing, same handshake,
same per-block whitening, same opcodes, same port. Only differences:
* UDP is connectionless; each datagram = one Packet (no stream framing)
* UDP needs explicit retry-on-timeout for reliability
src/omni_pca/connection.py:
- New constructor args: transport: Literal['tcp','udp']='tcp',
udp_retry_count: int = 3
- connect()/close() branch on transport — TCP keeps the existing
asyncio.open_connection + StreamReader/Writer + reader_task path;
UDP uses asyncio.get_running_loop().create_datagram_endpoint with
remote_addr= so transport.sendto(data) works without per-datagram
addrs. The reader_task is TCP-only.
- _write_packet branches between writer.write and udp_transport.sendto
- request() loops up to (1 + udp_retry_count) attempts on UDP, retrying
on RequestTimeoutError; TCP gets a single attempt (existing behavior)
- New _OmniDatagramProtocol that decodes each datagram into a Packet
and delegates to the shared _dispatch (which already knows how to
route handshake / solicited / unsolicited)
src/omni_pca/mock_panel.py:
- serve(transport='tcp'|'udp') public arg; defaults preserve existing
TCP behavior. Internally splits into _serve_tcp / _serve_udp.
- New _MockServerDatagramProtocol that mirrors _handle_client for UDP.
Tracks one active client by addr (single-session, matches Omni's
single-client constraint). Reuses the panel's existing _dispatch_v2,
_reply_*, _build_* helpers — the dispatch logic is unchanged, only
the transport framing differs.
- New _schedule_udp_push for synthesized SystemEvents (seq=0) push
to the active client's addr after state mutations.
src/omni_pca/client.py:
- OmniClient gains transport= and udp_retry_count= kwargs that pass
through to OmniConnection. Default is 'tcp' so existing callers
are unaffected.
tests/test_e2e_udp.py — 6 e2e tests:
- handshake roundtrip
- get_system_information
- arm area with right code
- arm with wrong code -> CommandFailedError
- turn unit on -> push UnitStateChanged event
- wrong ControllerKey -> HandshakeError
All run under 0.2s. Combined with the existing TCP suite: 357 tests
pass (was 351), ruff clean across src/ tests/.
The HA integration's config_flow still defaults to TCP; users on UDP
panels can manually set transport= via the OmniClient init path. A
follow-up commit will add transport to the HA config flow as a
dropdown option.
