pySDCP

Sony SDCP / PJ Talk projector control

Python 3 library to query and control Sony Projectors using SDCP (PJ Talk) protocol over IP.

##Features:

• Autodiscover projector using SDAP (Simple Display Advertisement Protocol)
• Query and change power status
• Query and change mute status
• Toggle input between HDMI-1 and HDMI-2

More features

The SDCP protocol allow to control practically everything in projector, i.e. resolution, brightness, 3d format... If you need to add a command:

• add the name and code into COMMANDS dictionary, i.e.

 COMMANDS = {
     "SET_POWER": 0x0130,
+    "SET_MUTE": 0x0030,
     "CALIBRATION_PRESET": 0x0002,
     "ASPECT_RATIO": 0x0020,
     "INPUT": 0x0001,
     "GET_STATUS_ERROR": 0x0101,
     "GET_STATUS_POWER": 0x0102,
     "GET_STATUS_LAMP_TIMER": 0x0113
 }

• if necessary, add additional information to protocols.py, i.e.:

+MUTE_STATUS = {
+    "MUTE": 0,
+    "UNMUTE": 1
+}

• add function to __init.py__ implementing the new command, i.e.

+    def set_mute(self, mute=True):
+        self._send_command(action=ACTIONS["SET"], command=COMMANDS["SET_MUTE"],
+                           data=POWER_STATUS["START_UP"] if mute else POWER_STATUS["STANDBY"])
+        return True

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/ZachIndigo/pySDCP

Examples

Sending any command will initiate autodiscovery of projector if none is known and will cary on the command. so just go for it and maybe you get lucky:

import pySDCP

my_projector = pySDCP.Projector()

my_projector.get_power()
my_projector.set_power(True)

Skip discovery to save time or if you know the IP of the projector

my_known_projector = pySDCP.Projector('10.1.2.3')
my_known_projector.set_HDMI_input(2)
