I use ph_sendsocketdata to send TCP packets to applications, but is there a way to receive data back from the application into PH? This would mean having PH act as a server on that port, so I have a feeling the answer is no.

Skip,

The PowerHome Socket Server is designed to receive data sent to it. The socket server (like the webserver) expects data formatted in a particular way and responds based upon the data sent to it. Its primarily designed as a means to remotely control PowerHome from other applications or PC's without the overhead of the webserver.

For generic socket receiving, I would use the Generic Socket plugin. Its documented in the Help file and will fire a trigger whenever socket data is received.
