# Horimote
Horimote is a simple Python library for the Horizon HD-Recorder sold by Unitymedia Germany.
Thanks to [OrangeTux](https://github.com/OrangeTux) & [kuijp](https://github.com/kuijp) for their work on [einder](https://github.com/OrangeTux/einder) & [horizoncontrol](https://github.com/kuijp/horizoncontrol). This is just another Python fork focussing on the Horzion HD-Recorder from Unitymedia Germany.
## Installation
```bash
$ pip install horimote
```
## Usage
`horimote.Client` controls the set-top box by sending bytes. These bytes
represent the buttons of a remote control. You can find all supported
keys in [horimote.keys](horimote/keys.py). The example shows how to send
keys.
```python
import time
import logging
from horimote import Client
from horimote import keys
# Enable logging.
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
# Replace IP with the IP of your set-top box. The port parameter is optional,
# by default its 5900.
c = Client("192.168.1.245", port=5900)
c.power_on()
# Wait a few seconds to let the set-top box have some time to start.
time.sleep(5)
# Select channel 501.
c.send_key(keys.NUM_5)
c.send_key(keys.NUM_0)
c.send_key(keys.NUM_1)
# For selecting a channel horimote.Client offers a small helper function.
c.select_channel(501)
# No watch some TV...
c.power_off()
c.disconnect()
```
The `horimote.Client` can also be used as a context manager:
``` {.sourceCode .python}
from horimote import Client
with Client("192.168.1.245") as c:
c.select_channel(501)
```
