            "accessory": "UdpContactSensor",
            "name": "UDP Contact Sensors",
            "listen_port": 8266,

Creates a ContactSensor service for each switch in data.

Listens for UDP datagrams on port 8266, turns on Switch #2 upon receiving the two bytes 02 followed by ff, turns it off when receiving 02 followed by 00, and so on.
