// Use hostname in C008 protocol if the controller hostname is configured (instead of IP)

// R100 13-04-2016
// Moved UDP handling from background tasks as it could lead to recursive function call issues on globalsync receive
// Some more experimental features:
//  - Added option to send rule events using http control page: /control?cmd=event,<event> (single event buffer limitation applies!)
//  - Added option to send rule events using openhab MQTT protocol: publish event,<event> to <template>/cmd (single event buffer limitation applies!)
