dalhundal / sky-remote Goto Github PK

Hi Dal, sorry but this is the only way I can find to contact you...
I've been using your Nest thermostat which you published on PEN, and it is really good, just what I was looking for to control HVAC with my Raspberry Pi, so a big thanks.
I've made a few changes to make it an easy install for node-red users, however, I notice that you have no licence described in PEN, and I would be grateful if you could tell me how you want your code to be handled.

Hi, I've been been creating a node-red node wrapper for your library.

Whilst it works well, when correct configured, unfortunately it crashes node-red / nodejs when it is given an incorrect IP address (i.e. not a sky box) with the following error:

18 Mar 22:19:35 - [red] Uncaught Exception:
18 Mar 22:19:35 - Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 192.168.0.92:49160
at Object.exports._errnoException (util.js:1022:11)
at exports._exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:1045:20)
at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1087:14)

This appears to be due to there being no error capture on net.connect ? But I've reached the limit of my ability

Have you any idea if there are additional codes for Sky Q to access things like "my recordings" or "My Q" or similar?

Might try and experiment by sending codes and seeing what happens !

Hi, trying to install this but I keep getting an error

`homeserver-ex490:~ admin$ npm install sky-remote

Please can you advise where I am going wrong

Hi,

Per the title, Sky are rolling out a Sky Q update which now moves the port from 5900 back to the original 49160 used by Sky HD. So guess the sky_q switch should be renamed legacy_sky_q and it's description aimed at < 060 firmware.

Cheers.

I would like the TV button on the sky remote added as I would like to use it to turn on and off my TV if possible. If not can you explain how you added the buttons to your code and how I could add it to the code myself.

Hi, great work! I am looking to port this to Golang. Is this protocol documented anywhere? All I find is the awful SOAP interface which I really want to avoid. The application I have is just for changing the channel in response to certain user events so want to avoid using that hateful, hateful interface. As you may gather I hate XML and would much rather just send some bytes instead.

It probably shouldn't exist in the code at all - Sky box cannot control the TV

The Sky Q box is running on a different port number (5900).

The SKY button normally always switches the box ON or returns to normal from a within any sub menu.

• reported by @Negan99 and @john01925

Is there any chance to get current power state?

That would be very nice!

So in the below sample for a Sky Q box this actually seems to turn the box on and off, not change the channel

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

var remoteControl = new SkyRemote('192.168.1.10', SkyRemote.SKY_Q);

// 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.");
};
});

Hi I am trying to use Google assistant (and my Google home) to control my sky q box via voice commands

I want to use IFTTT website, which activates on Google assistant call e.g. 'Hey Google Turn on SkyQ' which then triggers a Webhooks HTTP call to your application... which i can type in url, type, body (get, post etc...)

I found your sky-remote interface on git hub. And watching YouTube videos i think i have installed the sky-remote.js package using termux app

However i am not a programmer and i can't work out how to call your application using a webhooks web request. Can you help me?

Sorry for stupid questions and thanks in advance
