• Python object

  import pyitachip2ir
  import logging
  
  logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO) # Get log messages from pyitachip2ir
  
  mac_address = None # If known use this, it will search for the itach
  ip_address = "127.0.0.1"
  port = 4998
  itach = pyitachip2ir.ITachIP2IR(mac_address, ip_address, port)
  
  with open("tv_commands.txt",'r') as cmds:
      itach.addDevice("tv", 1, 3, cmds.read())
  
  if not itach.ready(5000): # Search for 5 seconds for device
      raise IOError("ITach not found")
  
  itach.send("tv", "ON", 1)
