API or UDP to home automation system - MandMtje - Jul-06-2021 Hello, I am a beginner in python programming. For a project I want to have a program that reads 2 keys pressed simultaneously, like preferably alt + or alt -. I want to be able to read this via UDP or API in our home automation system. Who can help me on my way? I've been working on python for a while, but I can't get it to read two keys at the same time. Also, I don't know where to start with API and UDP.

I think it is very useful! |
