Devices

The RPDevice class represents a Remote Play host / console.

Ideally, most interactions should be made using this class.

Devices are identified uniquely via it’s MAC address, which will differ depending on the network interface it is using (WiFi/Ethernet).

The instance will need a valid status to be usable. This can be done with the RPDevice.get_status() method.

Once the device has a valid status, actions can be performed such as connecting to a session, turning off/on the device.

Discovery

Devices can be discovered using the RPDevice.search() method. All devices that are discovered on the local network will be returned.

Creating Devices

Alternatively devices can be created manually. To create a device, the ip address or hostname needs to be known.

from pyremoteplay import RPDevice

device = RPDevice("192.168.86.2")
device2 = RPDevice("my_device_hostname")

This will create a device if the hostname is valid. However, this does not mean that the device associated with the hostname is in fact a Remote Play device.
