Controlling a device¶
Controlling a device is done with the “remote control” API. It can be fetched via the remote_control attribute after connecting to a device, like so:
details = ...
atv = await pyatv.connect_to_apple_tv(details, loop)
rc = atv.remote_control
All commands are asynchronous, so they must be used in a coroutine. For a
complete list of commands, see pyatv.interface.RemoteControl
.
Performing a command¶
To perform a command is just as easy as calling the method corresponding to the expected action:
await atv.remote_control.play()
await atv.remote_control.next()
Commands with arguments¶
Most commands just performs an action and requires no additional arguments. Seeking in the currently playing media however, is one command that requires the desired media position:
await atv.remote_control.set_position(60) # 1 minute in
