pyjvcprojector

What it is and what it does

pyjvcprojector is an async Python client for controlling JVC projectors over a network connection. It abstracts the JVC TCP protocol into a command-based API, allowing you to query and modify projector settings (power, input, picture mode, etc.), send remote control commands, and discover what commands your specific projector model supports. The library automatically detects the projector model on connection and adjusts its capabilities accordingly, with fallback support for unknown models.

The core use case is home automation or programmatic control of JVC projectors in networked environments. It ships with a CLI tool for command-line control and is built on asyncio, making it suitable for integration into async applications without blocking. Version 2.0 is a complete redesign from 1.x with breaking API changes, so existing code will need migration.

Use it for:

• Automate projector power and input switching in a home theater or media room setup.
• Build a web dashboard or mobile app to control projectors remotely over the network.
• Integrate projector control into a broader home automation system.
• Query projector status (power state, current input, picture mode) for monitoring or logging.
• Send remote control commands programmatically instead of using a physical remote.
• Discover and document which commands and parameters a specific projector model supports.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

A Python client library for controlling JVC projectors over a network connection using async/await, with support for getting/setting parameters, sending remote commands, and automatic model detection.

Yes. The library is actively maintained, has no external dependencies, supports current Python versions, carries a permissive MIT license, and has no known vulnerabilities. Install it if you need to control a JVC projector over the network. Be aware that version 2.0 is a breaking redesign—if upgrading from 1.x, consult the migration guide.

Install

pyjvcprojector on PyPI

pip install pyjvcprojector

uv add pyjvcprojector

poetry add pyjvcprojector

Installing pyjvcprojector

Before you install

Low install friction with no runtime dependencies. Actively maintained with a recent release 113 days ago and a clean repository. Requires Python 3.10 or higher.

License in practice

MIT license (permissive) means you can use, modify, and distribute this library freely with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart

pip install pyjvcprojector

import asyncio
from pyjvcprojector import JvcProjector, command

async def main():
    jp = JvcProjector("192.168.1.100")
    await jp.connect()
    power_state = await jp.get(command.Power)
    await jp.disconnect()

asyncio.run(main())

Requires Python 3.10 or higher; projector must be reachable over TCP on the network (default port 20554).

Verify before relying

• Whether the library works with all JVC projector models or only specific ones.
• Performance characteristics when controlling multiple projectors concurrently.
• Whether password authentication is required for all projectors or only some models.
