This plugin runs a simple HTTP server on your Vera which listens for UPnP '''NOTIFY''' messages, and forwards them on to another MiOS plugin.

= End user documentation =

If you have been sent here by a different plugin, it's because that plugin wants you to install the UPnP Event Proxy plugin.  If you don't install the UPnP Event Proxy then you may find that the other plugin runs with reduced functionality, most likely that changes made outside the plugin aren't immediately visible in the MiOS dashboard.

== Installation ==

The simplest way to install this plugin is from [http://apps.mios.com/plugin.php?id=3716 apps.mios.com].  The plugin needs one extra Luup engine reload, which it prompts you to do.

The plugin adds one device to the dashboard.  This device is normally not needed, except for debugging purposes and to uninstall the plugin.

== Uninstallation ==

If you need to uninstall the proxy, open up its control panel to the first tab and press '''Uninstall'''.  Then delete the device and press '''SAVE'''.

If you forget to do this then the proxy will continue to run on your Vera, even after a reboot.  This is probably harmless but it is consuming resources.  To manually stop the proxy after you have uninstalled the plugin, follow these steps:

* Go to '''Apps''' > '''Develop Apps''' > '''Test Luup Code'''.
* Paste the following into the text area and press '''GO''':
{{{
os.execute("/etc/init.d/upnp-event-proxy stop")
os.execute("/etc/init.d/upnp-event-proxy disable")
os.execute("rm /etc/init.d/upnp-event-proxy")
}}}
