Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Sony BRAVIA

This is a fork of @seydx/bravia with the IRCC endpoint changed from /sony/ircc to /sony/IRCC. This fixes IIRC requests on older Sony Bravia TVs.

Node.js module for discovering and controlling Sony BRAVIA Android TVs. This module allows you retrieve all the available service protocol API methods and invoke any of them. All methods return a Promise.

Setup

TV Setup

  • Turn on your TV
  • On the TV go to Settings > Network > Home network setup > Remote device/Renderer > On
  • On the TV go to Settings > Network > Home network setup > IP Control > Authentication > Normal and Pre-Shared Key
  • On the TV go to Settings > Network > Home network setup > Remote device/Renderer > Simple IP Control > On

Optional:

  • On the TV go to Settings > Network > Home network setup > Remote device/Renderer > Enter Pre-Shared Key > 0000 (or whatever you want your PSK Key to be)

Install with NPM

sudo npm install @seydx/bravia@beta -g

Discovery

const Bravia = require('@seydx/bravia');
const bravia = new Bravia();

async function discover () {
  try {
    // Attempts to discover any Sony Bravia TVs.
    const devices = await bravia.discover();
    
    for (const device in devices) {
      console.log(devices[device]);
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);    
  }
}

Authentication

Connect to TV via PSK

// Connects to a Bravia TV at 192.168.1.2:80 with the PSK 0000.
const Bravia = require('@seydx/bravia');

const bravia = new Bravia({host: '192.168.1.2', port: 80, psk: '0000'});

Connect to TV via PIN

To use the API with the PIN procedure, your credentials must first be created. Afterwards this credentials can be used to send further requests.

// Connects to a Bravia TV at 192.168.1.2:80 and create your credentials.
const Bravia = require('@seydx/bravia');

const name = 'MyTV'; // Default: '@seydx/bravia'
const bravia = new Bravia({name: name, host: '192.168.1.2', port: 80, pin: true});

async function example(){
  try {
    const credentials = await bravia.pair();
    console.log(credentials)
  } catch(error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
}

The PIN displayed on the TV must then be entered in the terminal. This will generate a credentials <Object> like this:

{
  name: 'MyTV',
  uuid: 'e9812807-d394-407c-b657-c89a98804e65',
  token: 'A0B9B9D7580466F22EE8F8EA148863774ACCE203',
  expires: 'Fr., 26 Apr. 2009 21:42:48 GMT+00:00'
}

With these credentials u can call the API without any authentication procedure

// Connects to a Bravia TV at 192.168.1.2:80 with Application Name and UUID.
const Bravia = require('@seydx/bravia');

const credentials = {
  name: 'MyTV',
  uuid: 'e9812807-d394-407c-b657-c89a98804e65',
  token: 'A0B9B9D7580466F22EE8F8EA148863774ACCE203',
  expires: 'Fr., 26 Apr. 2009 21:42:48 GMT+00:00'
}

const bravia = new Bravia({host: '192.168.1.2', port: 80, ...credentials});

Alternatively, the credentials can also be created using the built-in CLI. See #CLI

Usage

Service Protocol APIs

async function api(){
  try {
    // Retrieves all the system method types and versions.
    const methods = await bravia.describe();
    console.log(methods);
    
    // Retrieves all the available IRCC commands from the TV.
    const commands = await bravia.exec('system', 'getRemoteControllerInfo');
    console.log(commands);
    
    // Queries the volume info.
    const volume = await bravia.exec('audio', 'getVolumeInformation');
    console.log(volume);
    
    // Sets the speaker volume level to 50%.
    await bravia.exec('audio', 'setAudioVolume', '1.0', { target: 'speaker', volume: '50' });
  } catch(error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
}

Send IRCC Code

async function ircc(){
  try {
    // Retrieves all the available IRCC commands from the TV.
    const commands = await bravia.getIRCCCodes();
    
    // Sends an IRCC code signal by name.
    await bravia.execCommand('Mute');
    
    // Sends an IRCC code signal by value.
    await bravia.execCommand('AAAAAQAAAAEAAAAUAw==');
    
    // Sends multiple IRCC code signals by name and/or value. Change delay to alter time between each command sent.
    const delay = 350 //in milliseconds (Default: 350)
    
    await bravia.execCommand(['Hdmi1', 'AAAAAgAAABoAAABaAw==', 'Hdmi2', 'AAAAAgAAABoAAABbAw=='], delay);
  } catch(error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
}

Turn on TV

The TV can easily be switched on via "Wake on LAN" or directly through the API. For WOL you need to enable WOL under TV settings.

Note: Only the screen from TVs in "PRO" mode can be switched ON with Wake-on-LAN. If your TV is in "NORMAL" mode and in standby, you need to enable the Rest API with WOL to perform API calls.

More info: https://pro-bravia.sony.net/develop/integrate/ip-control/index.html#wake-on-lan

async function turnOnTV(){
  try {
    // Optional (Default values)
    const options = {
      subnet: '255.255.255.255',
      num_packets: 10,
      interval: 100
    }

    // Turn on TV through Wake on LAN (WOL)
    await bravia.wake('33:7F:62:9F:7B:70', options)
    
    // Turn on TV through API
    await bravia.exec('system', 'setPowerStatus', '1.0', { status: true })
  } catch(error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
}
