pioneer-vsx922 v0.1.0

Pioneer VSX 922 API

Just a simple interface to the telnet api of most pioneer receivers. Only tested on the model I have (VSX922) but works on other models as well probably.

Based on http://raymondjulin.com/2012/07/15/remote-control-your-pioneer-vsx-receiver-over-telnet/

Installing

Just npm install pioneer-vsx922 should do the trick.

Examples

Initialising the api

// require the lib ES5 style
const Pioneer = require('pioneer-vsx922').default;
// or ES6
import Pioneer from 'pioneer-vsx922';

// create a new instance, 10.0.0.100 and 23 are the ip and port of the receiver
// If you don't know them log in to your router to find the ip.
// 23 is the default telnet port, if it does not work try 8102
// If that also doesn't work I'd recommend using nmap
const pioneer = new Pioneer('10.0.0.100', 23);

Powering on the device

const pioneer = new Pioneer('10.0.0.100', 23);
pioneer.power.on().then(() => {
  // and close the connection
  pioneer.closeConnection();
})

Getting the volume

const pioneer = new Pioneer('10.0.0.100', 23);
pioneer.volume.get().then((volume) => {
  console.log(volume);
  // and close the connection
  pioneer.closeConnection();
})

API

There are two working API's atm, source selection is coming. In addition there is pioneer.closeConnection which closes the telnet connection.
