sharp-virtual-remote

A Node.JS module that controls a Sharp TV with virtual remote option.

Usage

var tv = new SharpVirtualRemote()
.on('available', function() {
  this.send('menu');
});

The module will find the TV on the network by broadcasting a query packet over UDP. The TV responds with some information like the port to be connected to. When the response from the TV has been received the module emits an available event.

A fixed IP and custom port can be given, the port defaults to 4660 so is optional.

var tv = new SharpVirtualRemote('192.168.0.111', 1234)
.on('available', function() {
  this.send('menu');
});

Command Line Interface

node sharp-virtual-remote <command>

Where <command> is one of the commands in commands.json
