Built-in no, plugins no idea.

Did you ever figure this out?

I'd like to automate sending commands to an iTach IP2IR device using Tasker. You communicate with the device by opening a TCP socket using the device's IP address over port 9998. You then pass it a short ASCII command string that must end with a CR. A result will be sent back, but I should be able to just ignore it.

Before I start coding external scripts, can Tasker do this with any built-in actions or plug-ins?

It looks like you can do this with Android's mbhRemote app (it has a tasker plugin). I haven't tried it yet because I don't have an iTach yet.

I imagine in theory it would look like this:

You might not need the http, but 'http://192.168.12.105:9998?cmd=abccommand'
I know this is an old post, but someone may be looking.

What i did is to install busybox and then execute following shell script .

echo "ASCIISTRING"$'\r' | nc 192.168.1.3:23

The Send/Expect plugin handles this case.
