[TWART016]

Is it possible to clickt the button for left/right/down/up/select. How can I search for commands?

Hi @TWART016,

I am probably a bit late to the game but for anyone else who is in the same pickle. Sending buttons isn't that difficult, however, still took me some time to find enough information about this.

So here is short example:

lgtv.getSocket('ssap://com.webos.service.networkinput/getPointerInputSocket',
    function (err, sock) {
        if (!err) {
            sock.send('button', {name: 'LEFT'}); // ok = ENTER
        }
    });

I have not yet found a list with all possible buttons but it's pretty straight forward, I did found more buttons here https://github.com/supersaiyanmode/PyWebOSTV/blob/master/pywebostv/controls.py

lgtv.on('error', function (err) { console.log(err); });

lgtv.on('connect', function() { lgtv.getSocket('ssap://com.webos.service.networkinput/getPointerInputSocket', function(err, sock) { if (!err) { sock.send('button', {name: 'HOME'}); } } ); lgtv.disconnect(); });

-----> node send.js

@Mastercrrown try this code

 var lgtv = require('lgtv2')({
    url: 'ws://192.168.99.25:3000', timeout: '5000'
});

lgtv.on('error', function (err) {
    console.log(err);
});

lgtv.on('connect', function() {

    lgtv.getSocket(
            'ssap://com.webos.service.networkinput/getPointerInputSocket',
        function(err, sock) {
            if (!err) {
                sock.send('button', {name: 'HOME'});
            }
            lgtv.disconnect();
        }
    );

    //lgtv.disconnect();
});
