Simple Scala wrapper for the LIRC library.
Based on its Python cousin
- can send simple one-time messages through
irsend SEND_ONCE - supports multiple remotes in the lircd.conf
Through sbt, add the following to your build.sbt
resolvers += Resolver.bintrayRepo("vburca", "maven")
libraryDependencies += "me.owlcode" %% "scala-lirc" % "0.1.1"
Below is an example of usage.
scala> import scalalirc.ScalaLirc
import scalalirc.ScalaLirc
scala> val lirc = ScalaLirc()
lirc: scalalirc.ScalaLirc = scalalirc.ScalaLirc@658bbfd8
scala> lirc.get.devices
res0: Iterable[String] = Set(TestRemote1, TestRemote2)
scala> lirc.get.supportsCode("TestRemote1", "BTN_START")
res1: Boolean = true
scala> lirc.get.sendOnce("TestRemote1", "BTNSTART")
Remote TestRemote1 does not support code BTNSTART
res2: Boolean = false
scala> lirc.get.sendOnce("TestRemote1", "BTN_START") // LIRC is not available on this platform
Error trying to execute `irsend SEND_ONCE TestRemote1 BTN_START`: java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory
res3: Boolean = false
scala> lirc.get.sendOnce("AmbiLite", "BTN_START") // LIRC is now available
res4: Boolean = true
If, for some reason, you want to use a custom lircd.conf, or the location is not the standard one (/etc/lirc/lircd.conf),
you can create the ScalaLirc object in the following way:
val lirc = ScalaLirc("path/to/your/lircd.conf")
Right now scala-lirc only supports the SEND_ONCE feature of LIRC.
If you would also like to see other LIRC features added to scala-lirc, or if you find something wrong with the current implementation,
create a Pull Request or let me know please!
