LAN Requests UDP or TCP?

Does anyone know if Hubitat uses UDP or TCP to communicate with LAN attached devices? Does the developer have any control over this?

Hubitat uses both TCP and UDP based communications as well as HTTP. Developer control is defined in the documentation. I have encountered very few limitations.

Documentation:
http: Common Methods | Hubitat Documentation
UDP: HubAction Object | Hubitat Documentation
rawSocket (TCP): Raw Socket Interface | Hubitat Documentation
DEVELOPER DOCUMENTATION: Developer Documentation | Hubitat Documentation

Thanks, in this particular case it’s a hubAction. The doc says the developer can specify the connection type but the link to the protocol page is broken.

You’ve given me a lead to chase down. Thanks.
