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 🙏

NPM version npm dependencies Status Build Status XO code style License

Simple Node.js module to remote control LG WebOS smart TVs.

this is a fork of LGTV.js, heavily modified and rewritten to suite my needs.

With v1.4.0 the location and filename of the keyFile is changed, so you likely will have to accept the connection on your TV again after upgrading to 1.4.0.

Projects using this Module

Installation

npm install lgtv2

TV configuration

You need to allow "LG Connect Apps" on your TV - see http://www.lg.com/uk/support/product-help/CT00008334-1437131798537-others

Usage Examples

Subscribe to volume and mute changes and output to console:


var lgtv = require("lgtv2")({
    url: 'ws://lgwebostv:3000'
});

lgtv.on('error', function (err) {
    console.log(err);
});

lgtv.on('connect', function () {
    console.log('connected');
    
    lgtv.subscribe('ssap://audio/getVolume', function (err, res) {
        if (res.changed.indexOf('volume') !== -1) console.log('volume changed', res.volume);
        if (res.changed.indexOf('muted') !== -1) console.log('mute changed', res.muted);
    });
    
});

Turn TV off:


var lgtv = require("lgtv2")({
    url: 'ws://lgwebostv:3000'
});

lgtv.on('error', function (err) {
    console.log(err);
});

lgtv.on('connect', function () {
    console.log('connected');
    lgtv.request('ssap://system/turnOff', function (err, res) {
        lgtv.disconnect();
    });
    
});

API

options

  • url - websocket url of TV. default: 'ws://lgwebostv:3000'
  • timeout - request timeout in milliseconds, default: 15000
  • reconnect - reconnect interval in milliseconds, default: 5000
  • keyFile - path for key storage. Will be suffixed with hostname/ip of TV. default: Linux: ~/.lgtv2/keyfile-, macOS: ~/Library/Preferences/lgtv2/keyfile-
  • saveKey - you can override this with your own function for saving the key
  • clientKey - you have to supply the key here if you're using a custom saveKey method

methods

request(url [, payload] [, callback])

Payload and callback params are optional.

subscribe(url, callback)

disconnect()

Closes the connection to the TV and stops auto-reconnection.

getSocket(url, callback)

Get specialized socket connection for mouse and button events

Example:

lgtv.getSocket(
    'ssap://com.webos.service.networkinput/getPointerInputSocket',
    function(err, sock) {
        if (!err) {
            sock.send('click');
        }
    }
);

events

prompt

is called when TV prompts for App authorization

connect

is called when a connection is established and authorized

connecting

is called when trying to connect to the TV

close

error

is called when Websocket connection errors occur. Subsequent equal errors will only be emitted once (So your log isn't flooded with EHOSTUNREACH errors if your TV is off)
