python library which can also be use in command line.

Summary
==========

commands are sent by websocket on port 7682 with sub-protocol lws-bidirectional-protocol.

there is multiple kind of data structure depending on kind of commands we went to send.

send commands :
BUTTONEVENT structure for  classical remote keys (volume, power, ok, return, pause, play, forward, rewind, directionnal keys, num pad)
ZAP structure to send a channel number in 1 request.
APP structure to launch special function of the decoder (mosaic, tv guide, vod, replay, recording, media center, settings)
SETVOLUME structure to set the volume
KEYBOARD structure to type when inside input field

Info commands (not yet implemented):
GETINFO and GETVERSION

```sfrtvctl --host 192.168.1.100  VALUE a``` # will type a in an input field  


Library usage
=============

sfrtvctl can be imported as a Python 3 library:

.. code-block:: python

    import sfrtvctl

A context managed remote controller object of class ``Remote`` can be
constructed using the ``with`` statement:

.. code-block:: python

    with sfrtvctl.Remote(config) as remote:
        # Use the remote object

The constructor takes a configuration dictionary as a parameter. All
configuration items must be specified.

| Key     | Type   | Description                                 |
|---------|--------|---------------------------------------------|
| host    | string | Hostname or IP address of the decoder.      |
| port    | int    | TCP port number. (Default: ``7682``)        |
| timeout | int    | Timeout in seconds. ``0`` means no timeout. |

The ``Remote`` object is very simple and you only need the ``control(key, arg1, arg2)``
method. See tables above for more details about commands you can pass. You can call ``control`` multiple times
using the same ``Remote`` object. The connection is automatically closed when
exiting the ``with`` statement.
