sky-remote-cli's Introduction

sky-remote-cli

A command line app to send remote control commands to a Sky TV box. Compatible with Sky+HD and Sky Q.

Usage

Installation

You'll need to install this globally with the -g flag.

npm install -g sky-remote-cli

Controlling a Sky TV box

The first argument must be the IP address of the Sky box you want to control. All arguments after that are commands to send to the box - you can send just one command or many at once (they will be sent in sequence). If connecting to a Sky Q box running formware older than v0.60, pass the --sky_q_legacy flag. The previously used --sky_q flag now has no impact (but is still accepted for compatability).

Turn the box on / off
sky-remote-cli 192.168.0.40 power

or, for Sky Q (with older firmware <0.60):

sky-remote-cli --sky_q_legacy 192.168.0.40 power
Channel up, pause, show info
sky-remote-cli 192.168.0.40 channelup pause i
Change channel to 101
sky-remote-cli 192.168.0.40 1 0 1

sky-remote-cli's Issues

Monitoring Sky box

It would be nice to be able to see what channel is currently on and the play status (i.e. Playing, Paused), if this is possible. :-)

No such file or directory

when running from the CL i get the following:
/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory

running on a Rpi3, Jessie Lite

Work with Sky Q?

Not an issue, but wondering if this should work with Sky Q?

I've tried it, but not managed to get it to work (via Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi). Or is it just the NodeJS one that works with Sky Q?
(I'm wanting to use it with Home Assistant, and not even sure if that could run sky-remote (JavaScript).

Can't install

Trying to get back into this. I'm trying to install as per your instructions but it fails.
See attached npm log. Can you advise please?
npm-debug.log

Takes very long to execute

Hi,
I like your work very much, but it takes a very very very long time till it executes from pressing Enter...about 13 seconds.
Any idea what I can do speed it up. I'am working on raspberry pi4

thanx

Robert

Getting Sky On/Off Status

Not an issue per se, more a question.
Is there a way to extract some info from the sky box itself? For example whether the box is on or off?
Calling the power function will toggle the box on or off, and without knowing its status, it's quite difficult to know what action will really be carried out on the box.

Thanks
Laurent

Google Home Integration

I wanted to thank you on your code - it is excellent.

This is not an issue - but I am hoping that you can help, or point me in the right direction.

I have the commands successfully controlling my sky box via my Raspberry pi using:
sky-remote-cli action

I would like to add a voice command to Google Home, to initiate a command from the Pi. Do you know if this is something that has been developed? Therefore, instead of typing the commands, you could say: OK Google, Sky Channel 101

I appreciate any help - thank you
