Usage

All methods return a Promise.

Discovery

const Bravia = require('bravia');

// The time in milliseconds for the bravia discovery to scan for.
let timeout = 5000;

// Attempts to discover any Sony Bravia TVs.
Bravia.discover(timeout)
  .then(devices => {
    for (let device in devices) {
      console.log(device);
    }
  })
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

Service Protocol APIs

const Bravia = require('bravia');

// Connects to a Bravia TV at 192.168.1.2:80 with the PSK 0000.
let bravia = new Bravia('192.168.1.2', '80', '0000');

// Retrieves all the system method type versions.
bravia.system.getVersions()
  .then(versions => console.log(versions))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

// Retrieves all the system method types and versions.
bravia.system.getMethodTypes()
  .then(methods => console.log(methods))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

// Retrieves all the available IRCC commands from the TV.
bravia.system.invoke('getRemoteControllerInfo')
  .then(commands => console.log(commands))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

// Queries the volume info.
bravia.audio.invoke('getVolumeInformation')
  .then(info => console.log(info))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

// Sets the speaker volume level to 50%.
bravia.audio.invoke('setAudioVolume', '1.0', { target: 'speaker', volume: '50' });

Send IRCC Code

const Bravia = require('bravia');

// Connects to a Bravia TV at 192.168.1.2:80 with the PSK 0000.

// Retrieves all the available IRCC commands from the TV.
bravia.getIRCCCodes()
  .then(commands => console.log(commands))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

// Sends an IRCC code signal.
bravia.send('Mute');

// Sends multiple IRCC code signals. Change bravia.delay to alter time between each command sent.
bravia.send(['Up', 'Down', 'Left', 'Right']);

Send raw IRCC Code

const Bravia = require('bravia');

// Connects to a Bravia TV at 192.168.1.2:80 with the PSK 0000.
let bravia = new Bravia('192.168.1.2', '80', '0000');

// Send request to set source to HDMI1
bravia.sendIRCC('AAAAAgAAABoAAABaAw==');
