H4P_UPNPServer

Shortname upnp

The primary purpose of H4P_UPNPServer is to provide Amazon Alexa voice control and pass the voice commands to either a H4P_BinarySwitch or a H4P_BinaryThing. A beneficial side-effect is that the device also appears in the Windows10 "Network Explorer" which provides a quick route to the built-in webserver.
