Receiving UDP traffic

Hi there,
I had the same issue with a device regularly reporting via UDP, and exploiting the existing TCP sensor I have created the following UDP sensor:

github.com

glpatcern/domotica/blob/master/homeass/code/udp.py

"""
Support for UDP socket based sensors.

For more details about this platform, please refer to the documentation at
https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.udp/
"""
import logging
import socket
import select

import voluptuous as vol

from homeassistant.components.sensor import PLATFORM_SCHEMA
from homeassistant.const import (
    CONF_NAME, CONF_PORT, CONF_TIMEOUT,
    CONF_UNIT_OF_MEASUREMENT, CONF_VALUE_TEMPLATE)
from homeassistant.exceptions import TemplateError
from homeassistant.helpers.entity import Entity
import homeassistant.helpers.config_validation as cv

Maybe useful for your case? I’m considering to do a PR and contribute it back, even though there’s quite some duplication with the TCP sensor and it could be merged with it.
