Port of AndroidTV Remote to react native
This package is a port of the Android TV Remote written by @louis49 to React Native
- License: MIT (see LICENSE file)
It has beeen modified to replace modpow that is too slow on ios/android during the generation of the certificate
and I have added the possibility to use a certificate when using react-native-tcp-sockets (dev/more-node-tls-compliant-ios).
Install the library using either yarn:
yarn add react-native-androidtv-remote react-native-modpow
or npm:
npm install --save react-native-androidtv-remote react-native-modpow
At the time of writing these instructions, my dev/more-node-tls-compliant-ios branch has not yet been merged into react-native-tcp-sockets, so it is necessary to patch it using patch-package.
So inside your project add patch-package:
yarn add patch-package and copy the folder example/patches inside your project and add inside package.json:
```
"scripts": {
...
"postinstall": "patch-package"
},

To run the example:
#### android
``
cd example
yarn install
yarn startyarn android
on another terminal:
#### iOS
``
cd example
yarn install
cd ios
pod install
cd ..
yarn ios
If you want to deploy on a real iPhone device you might need to open TestAndroidTVRemoteApp.xcworkspace, double click on TestAndroidTVRemoteApp on the left and goes to 'Signing and Capabilities' to check 'Automatically manage signing' and choose your Team.
on another terminal:
yarn ios
After first succeeded pairing, you can reuse generated certs with getCertificate() by sending it in constructor options.
`js
let host = "192.168.1.12";
let options = {
pairing_port : 6467,
remote_port : 6466,
service_name: 'com.urcompany.appname',
systeminfo: {
manufacturer: 'default-manufacturer',
model: 'default-model'
},
// Mandatory for the connection to work on android and needs patched version of
// react-native-tcp-socket
cert: {
key: null,
cert: null,
androidKeyStore: 'AndroidKeyStore',
certAlias: 'my-remotectl-atv-cert',
keyAlias: 'my-remotectl-atv',
}
}
let androidRemote = new AndroidRemote(host, options)
androidRemote.on('secret', () => {
line.question("Code : ", async (code) => {
androidRemote.sendCode(code);
});
});
androidRemote.on('powered', (powered) => {
console.debug("Powered : " + powered)
});
androidRemote.on('volume', (volume) => {
console.debug("Volume : " + volume.level + '/' + volume.maximum + " | Muted : " + volume.muted);
});
androidRemote.on('current_app', (current_app) => {
console.debug("Current App : " + current_app);
});
androidRemote.on('ready', async () => {
let cert = androidRemote.getCertificate();
androidRemote.sendKey(RemoteKeyCode.MUTE, RemoteDirection.SHORT)
androidRemote.sendAppLink("https://www.disneyplus.com");
});
let started = await androidRemote.start();
`Events
Emitted when androidtv ask for code.
Emitted when androidtv is powering on/off.
Emitted when androidtv is changing volume/mute.
Emitted when androidtv is changing current app.
Emitted when androidtv has a problem : by example when you send a wrong app_link with sendAppLink(app_link).
: You need to pass the shown code on the TV when asked$3
- KeyCode : Any key of https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent?hl=fr
- Direction :
* START_LONG : Start long push
* END_LONG : Stop long push
* SHORT : Simple push$3
- app_link` : You can find them in some Android apps by seeking 'android:host' in Android-Manifest* If you need to decrypt some new messages from android TV, pass an Hexa form of buffer here : https://protogen.marcgravell.com/decode
* You can take a look at an other package for homebridge that use this current one: homebridge-plugin-androidtv
