This is python class for manipulating with Netgem set-top-boxes over network using HTTP requests. Actions are triggered the same way as one would press buttons on physical remote control. Every button action can be triggered from physical remote control or via HTTP request.
In order to do that you need to know LAN IP address of your Netgem STB. You can find it in diagnostics menu or by examining your DHCP server logs or by examining ARP table on your router and find device which mac address starts with 00:04:30. Im using ARP method since I know my box has been active recently.
lab$ arp -na

? (192.168.1.1) at 64:6e:ea:00:aa:ee [ether] on eth0
Example using python interpreter

'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>\n<response code="ok"/>'
>>> n.send_text('poletje v skoljki 2')
>>>
In order to see short demo set environment variable then run python netgem.py and start enjoying hands-free STB manipulation.

lab$ python netgem.py
