Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The recommended way to install is through [Composer](http://getcomposer.org).

```
{
    "require": {
        "se/pilight": "dev-master"
    }
}
```

### Basic usage

[](#basic-usage)

Require the composer autload file and import the namespace.

```
require_once __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

use \SE\Component\Pilight;
```

### Send

[](#send)

```
$sender =  new Pilight\Sender();
// or set a custom ip and port
$sender =  new Pilight\Sender($host = '129.168.2.1', $port = 6535);

$protocol = 'elro';
$arguments = array(
    's' => 31,
    'u' => 1,
);

$device = new Pilight\Device($protocol, $arguments);
// or add the arguments later via setArguments
$device->setArguments($arguments);

// turn it on
$device->addArgument('t');

// send it!
$sender->send($device);
```

If you need root permissions to call *pilight-send*, call setSudo(true) on $sender.

```
$sender->setSudo(true);
$sender->send($device);
```

You can add the *pilight-send* executable to your sudoers configuration to make it callable via sudo without the need to enter a password. This is in case your *pilight-send* needs to be called via sudo rights you can get some unexpected output during runtime if setting it not.

```
$ sudo nano /etc/sudoers.d/pilight
```

Contents:

```
www-data ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/local/sbin/pilight-send

```
