spinfal / Discord-Vizio

A Discord bot that will let you control your Vizio TV. (To be honest, this is kinda useless, but fun to use.)

Discord Vizio

A cool way to control your Vizio TV through Discord. I made this around 4am so there may be bugs.

Getting Started

These instructions will get the bot running on your PC for testing purposes. This is in no way 100% ready for an actual full release (I may not ever do one)

Prerequisites

You will need:

• Node.JS

Installing what's needed

You will need these installed:

npm i discord.js@12.5.3 vizio-smart-cast

Starting the Bot

1. Setup config.json
2. Open index.js and change the IP to your TV's IP
3. Run node index.js

Using the bot

1. Make sure the TV is on and connected to the same WiFi as your computer (this means you cannot run on REPL or any other service)
2. Run the command q.pair and you should see a PIN on your TV (You will not get a response from the bot, just enter the PIN in the channel you ran the command in)
3. You are now paired! I haven't made a help command yet, because I stopped working on the bot. Here are the commands:

• q.ping - Shows the bot ping and latency
• q.pair - Starts the pairing process
• q.state - Returns the current TV state
• q.input - Returns the current input
• q.vol - Control the volume.
  • q.vol up - Increment up
  • q.vol down - Decrement down
  • q.vol set <pick a number 0-100> - Sets volume to chosen number
• q.power - Turns off the TV (but not ON 😔)
• q.sleep - Listed options will be shown when you run the command
