+# Plugins
+A Cue View "plugin" is a system for communicating with a type of device, for example QLab or Watchout. It consists of a JS file that describes how to communicate with the device, an HTML template for displaying the device's data, and a CSS file to style the HTML.
+
+### plugin.js
+exports.defaultName = 'Example Plugin';
+exports.connectionType = 'osc' or 'TCPsocket' or 'UDPsocket'
+exports.searchOptions = {
+	type: 'Bonjour',
+	bonjourNane: 'device'
+}
+exports.searchOptions = {
+	type: 'UDPsocket',
+	searchBuffer: Buffer.from([0x00, 0x01, 0x02]),
+	devicePort: 1234, // port the device receives messages on
+	listenPort: 2345, // port Cue View should listen for responses on
+	validateResponse: function(msg, info){

+	}
