Platforms count differently and update at different times.
It can inspect device information and installed apps, send remote keys, enter text, search for content, or launch an app. An optional persistent HTTP bridge is also available. Commands control real devices, and an exposed bridge may be abused. Confirm the target and restrict the service bind address, token, and access scope before use.

# Roku CLI
Fast TypeScript CLI for controlling Roku devices via the ECP API.
## Installation
```bash
npm install -g @gumadeiras/roku@latest
```
## Quick Start
```bash
# Discover devices and save an alias
roku discover --save livingroom --index 1
# Use the alias
roku --host livingroom device-info
roku --host livingroom apps
```
## Commands
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `roku discover` | Find Roku devices on network |
| `roku --host <ip> device-info` | Get device info |
| `roku --host <ip> apps` | List installed apps |
| `roku --host <ip> command <key>` | Send remote key |
| `roku --host <ip> literal <text>` | Type text |
| `roku --host <ip> search --title <query>` | Search content |
| `roku --host <ip> launch <app>` | Launch app |
| `roku --host <ip> interactive` | Interactive remote mode |
## Interactive Mode
```bash
roku livingroom # interactive control
roku --host livingroom interactive # same thing
```
Use arrow keys, enter, escape for remote-like control.
## Bridge Service
Run a persistent HTTP bridge as a native OS service:
```bash
# Install and start the service
roku bridge install-service --port 19839 --token secret --host livingroom --user
roku bridge start --user
# Service management
roku bridge status --user
roku bridge stop --user
roku bridge uninstall --user
```
Send commands via HTTP:
```bash
# Send key
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:19839/key \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer secret" \
-d '{"key":"home"}'
# Type text
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:19839/text \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer secret" \
-d '{"text":"hello"}'
# Launch app
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:19839/launch \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer secret" \
-d '{"app":"plex"}'
# Health check
curl http://127.0.0.1:19839/health -H "Authorization: Bearer secret"
```
### Bridge Endpoints
| Endpoint | Body |
|----------|------|
| `POST /key` | `{"key": "home"}` |
| `POST /text` | `{"text": "hello"}` |
| `POST /search` | `{"title": "Stargate"}` |
| `POST /launch` | `{"app": "plex"}` |
| `GET /health` | — |
| `GET /health?deep=1` | Deep health check (probes Roku) |
## Aliases
```bash
# Save device alias
roku discover --save livingroom --index 1
roku alias set office 192.168.1.20
# Save app alias
roku alias set plex 13535
# List aliases
roku alias list
# Use aliases
roku --host livingroom launch plex
```
## Remote Keys
home, back, select, up, down, left, right, play, pause, rev, fwd, replay, info, power, volume_up, volume_down, mute
## Notes
- Roku must be on the same network as the CLI
- Bridge service runs as a native launchd (macOS) or systemd (Linux) service
- Use `--user` flag for user-space service (no sudo required)
- Use `--token` for authentication in bridge mode
