Python

import logging
import socket
import random
from time import sleep
 
HOST = "192.168.1.100"
PORT = 8750

def send_udp_command(command):
    COUNTER = "0s2a" + str(random.randint(10, 99))
    COMMAND = COUNTER + " " + command + " \r\n"
    
    sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
    sock.sendto( bytes(COMMAND, "utf-8"), (HOST, PORT))
    received = str(sock.recv(1024), "utf-8")

What I have tried:

Nothing, don't know python, don't know vb.net. Tried googling for a translator but no joy.

Why not just run the code in Python ?

Want to use it with home automation software that uses either C# or vb.net.

You're not going to find a python to VB.NET converter. The languages and runtime environments are vastly different.

If you don't know either language, you're going to have a very difficult time writing the new VB.NET code, and further yet, understanding it so you can debug and support it.

I usually can get by with small scripts/code, etc. For example, I'm sure I could google and cobble together some of this like the random number, concentrating the string for the command, etc. Working with sockets, UDP, bytes, utf-8, etc. is a bit beyond my skills. This part would be a lot of trial and error to get the right command sent in the right format with newline characters, etc.

Don't even think about this being a line-for-line conversion. .NET does things a bit different.

"don't know python, don't know vb.net"
That is not a very good starting point. What ever it is you want this code to do, you would be better off paying someone to write it for you.

Step 1: Learn Python.
Step 2: Learn VB
Step 3: Use the Python code as a specification for a new VB app.

Never convert languages, it doesn't produce good code in the target language because it uses a totally different framework, and the data structures that make something work well in the source language are normally very different in the target language.

This is not a code conversion service: we are not here to provide a complete project you can just hand in. If you are short on time, then I'd strongly suggest that you start writing a new app quickly: you have the experience of writing this one, so you know what you need to do as far as algorithms, structures, and so forth are concerned - so it should take you a lot less time to produce you VB version than it did to produce that Python code.

Good luck!

Very roughly, and I say VERY, I doubt this would even compile, but you could do something like this (very raw, could be well improved).. oh, and its C#, not VB.Net, obviously

using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.Text;

// Needs HOST, PORT, command

Socket s = new Socket( AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Udp );
IPAddress ipAddress = IPAddress.Parse(HOST);

Random random = new Random();
int randomNumber = random.Next(10, 100); // NB : 100 NOT included so 10..99
String message = "0s2a" + randomNumber.ToString() + command + @"\r\n";

byte[] msg = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(message);
byte[] bytes = new byte[256];

try
{
  // Connect to server
  s.Connect( new IPEndPoint( ipAddress, PORT ) );

  // Send Message (Blocking) 
  int i = s.Send(msg);
  Console.WriteLine("Sent {0} bytes.", i);
  
  // Get reply from the server.
  i = s.Receive(bytes);
  Console.WriteLine("Received (0} bytes = {1}", i, Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes));
}
catch (SocketException e)
{
  Console.WriteLine("{0} Error code: {1}.", e.Message, e.ErrorCode);
}
