#sky-remote

A NodeJS module for sending remote control commands to a Sky TV box. Works with Sky+HD and SkyQ.

Usage

Installation

npm install sky-remote

Simple example

var SkyRemote = require('sky-remote');

var remoteControl = new SkyRemote('192.168.0.40');

// Simple - just send a command
remoteControl.press('power');

// Cool - send sequences of commands
remoteControl.press(['channelup', 'record', 'select']);

// Nice - send commands with a callback
remoteControl.press('channelup', function(err) {
	if (err) {
		console.log("Woah! Something went wrong. Cry time.");
	} else {
		console.log("I just pressed the Channel Up command.");
	};
});

Sky Q (if firmware < 060)

var remoteControl = new SkyRemote('192.168.0.40', SkyRemote.SKY_Q_LEGACY);
