SYNOPSIS

pilight-send –protocol PROTOCOL [OPTION]…

pilight-send [–server SERVER] [ –port PORT] –protocol PROTOCOL [OPTION]…

DESCRIPTION

pilight-send is a tool to send data to a pilight daemon instance. It is a more versatile tool than pilight-control, because it does not require the device to be previously configured.

It can be used to send signals for any pilight protocol that supports sending.
