This library will trigger onD2hRemoteOffline event when Smart Remote App is disconnected from the Set Top Box Device.

window.addEventListener("onD2hRemoteOffline", function(event) {
    console.log("Smart Remote App is disconnected.");    
});

iii) onD2hSTBOnline

This library will trigger onD2hSTBOnline event when Set Top Box Device is connected with the Internet.

window.addEventListener("onD2hSTBOnline", function(event) {
    console.log("STB Device is Connected to the Network/Internet.");    
});

iv) onD2hSTBOffline

This library will trigger onD2hSTBOffline event when Set Top Box Device is disconnected from the Internet.

  window.addEventListener("onD2hSTBOffline", function(event) {

isNetworkConnected method is used to identify, STB device is connected to internet or not. it return boolean value, true for connected state and false for disconnected state.

var netwrkStatus = d2hSmartConnect.isNetworkConnected();
console.log("STB Network Status : "+netwrkStatus);

ii) isSmartRemoteConnected

isSmartRemoteConnected method is used to identify, Smart Remote App is connected with the STB device or not. it also return boolean value, true for connected state and false for disconnected state.

var conStatus = d2hSmartConnect.isSmartRemoteConnected();
console.log("Remote and STB Connection Status : "+conStatus);

iii) smartRemoteKeyboard

smartRemoteKeyboard method is used to open the mobile keyboard for accepting input from d2h Smart Remote App. Once this method is invoked the text value will be recieved on the event onD2hRemoteTextReceived. It will only work if STB Device and Smart Remote is connected.

d2hSmartConnect.smartRemoteKeyboard();
