Extend the UDP message sender Cookbook with 8266 example

[nagyrobi]

Description:

Extended the configuration example of "Send UDP commands" cookbook entry form the "Lambda Magic" chapter with working yaml for ESP8266. This is important because many think that the WiFi implementation of ESP8266 lacks UDP, but WiFiUdp library comes to help with a simple inclusion (which btw is used by two other components).

Walkthrough

The changes to cookbook/lambda_magic.rst enhance the UDP command sending functionality in ESPHome scripts using Lambdas. The update introduces specific implementations for both ESP8266 and ESP32 platforms, incorporating UDP packet sending logic and updating logging details. Platform testing information has also been revised to reflect these updates.

🪧 Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
  • Generate unit testing code for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
  • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

Line range hint 64-101: The updated UDP command sending examples for both ESP8266 and ESP32 are clear and well-segmented.

However, consider adding a brief explanation or comment in the YAML to clarify why WiFiUdp.h is specifically needed for ESP8266, as this might not be immediately obvious to all users.

---

67-67: The inclusion of WiFiUdp.h is correctly documented.

Consider adding a link to the WiFiUdp library documentation or source for users who might want more detailed information about its functionality.
