Client to control Android TV

SharpAndroidTV

Client to control Android TV.

AndroidTVPairingClient

Create the client:

AndroidTVPairingClient tvPairingClient = new AndroidTVPairingClient("192.168.1.90");

Initiate the pairing process:

await tvPairingClient.InitiatePairingAsync();

TV should display a 6 letter pairing code on the screen. Pass it to the pairing client and the pairing client will return a certificate that you should store somewhere safe:

string certificate = await tvPairingClient.CompletePairingAsync("1234AB");

AndroidTVClient

Turn on the TV

To turn on the TV if you know the MAC address:

await AndroidTVClient.TurnOnAsync("192.168.1.90", "FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF");

If you don't know the MAC address, but you are running on Windows/MacOS/Linux where your process can access the terminal, run:

await AndroidTVClient.TurnOnAsync("192.168.1.90");

This will attempt to use ARP to resolve the MAC address from the IP address.

Control the TV

To control the TV, create the client and pass the certificate from the AndroidTVPairingClient:

AndroidTVClient tvClient = new AndroidTVClient("192.168.1.90", certificate);

Send a volume up key:

await tvClient.PressKeyAsync(KeyCodes.KEYCODE_VOLUME_UP, KeyAction.Down);
await tvClient.PressKeyAsync(KeyCodes.KEYCODE_VOLUME_UP, KeyAction.Up);

Open Netflix:

tvClient.StartApplication("https://www.netflix.com/title.*");

Get current TV configuration:

var configuration = tvClient.GetConfiguration();
