This repository is a sample application for the Google Home Local SDK, demonstrating how to create a local fulfillment for a smart light device. It consists of three main parts: the local home app (in the `app` directory) that discovers and controls the device using various network protocols (UDP, mDNS, UPnP for discovery; UDP, TCP, HTTP for control); a virtual device (in the `device` directory) that simulates a smart light using the Open Pixel Control (OPC) protocol and supports the same discovery and control protocols for testing; and a Cloud Function (in the `functions` directory) that acts as a placeholder for the cloud-to-cloud backend, handling account linking and returning placeholder responses for SYNC and QUERY intents (while deferring EXECUTE and QUERY to the local fulfillment). The local home app uses a strategy pattern to delegate discovery and execution handling to protocol-specific implementations. The virtual device encapsulates the OPC protocol logic in a reusable component that is independent of the underlying transport mechanism.

The LLM identified 2 files worth highlighting for reuse:

Encapsulates the Open Pixel Control (OPC) protocol logic for controlling LED strips. The Handler class processes incoming OPC messages (like setting pixel colors or querying state), updates the internal LED state representation, and generates appropriate responses. This component is transport-agnostic, relying only on the opc library, and can be reused in any project needing OPC communication regardless of the underlying network layer (UDP, TCP, or HTTP). It demonstrates clean separation of concerns by isolating protocol-specific logic from network transport details.

Implements a UDP-based discovery service that listens for a specific hex-encoded packet, validates incoming messages against it, and responds with device identification data encoded in CBOR. The core logic (packet matching, CBOR encoding/decoding) is generic and can be adapted for other discovery protocols by modifying the expected packet format and data structure. This component demonstrates a clean pattern for building network services: it handles only the transport and validation details, delegating data representation to external interfaces (IDiscoveryData). It is self-contained with minimal dependencies (just cbor and the types interface) and could be extracted for use in other discovery-based applications.
