atlona-matrix

Control your Atlona HDMI matrix switch over the network

atlona-matrix is a Node.js library that allows you to control your Atlona HDMI matrix switch over your local network. It's especially useful for integrating into a home automation system.

Getting Started

atlona-matrix is distributed through NPM:

npm install atlona-matrix

# or, if you prefer:
yarn add atlona-matrix

Examples

Atlona matrix switches unfortunately do not advertise themselves on the local network in any way that facilitates discovery, so you'll have to have some other way of knowing the IP address of your switch.

Once you've solved that problem, connecting to and controlling your switch is easy:

const matrix = new AtlonaMatrix('192.168.1.1'); // or whatever

Commands

Commands of the form get<Something> return Promises. Other commands return nothing.

getPowerState()

Returns a promise that resolves with 'on' or 'off' depending on the current state of the switch.

getIsOn()

Returns a boolean indicating the whether the switch is on or not.

getHardwareInfo()

Returns a Promise that resolves with an object indicating the type and version of the hardware.

getOutputStatus()

Returns a Promise that resolves with a list of the current inputs mapped to each output.

setOutput(output, input)

Set the given output to show the given input

setIsOn(isOn)

Turn the switch on (isOn == true) or off (isOn == false).

turnOn()

Unconditionally try to turn the switch on.

turnOff()

Unconditionally try to turn the switch off.

turnOffIfSafe()

Turn the switch off if it can be determined that none of the outputs are in use.

turnOffOutput(output)

Turn off a single given output

Compatibility

atlona-matrix is built to support Node.js version 6.0 or higher.
