Library to control BenQ projectors.

Python library to control BenQ projectors

Python library to control BenQ projectors over the serial interface.

The same commands should work over a network connection, but I don't own such projector and have not implemented any network functionality. Contact me if you have a network connected BenQ projector and like this to work.

BenQ projectors and flat pannels with a serial port can support one of three protocols. This plugin supports projectors which are of the P series but probably also others.

Protocol

This are the protocol details:

2400 baud 8N1

<CR>*<key>=<value>#<CR>

Where <CR> is a Cariage Return

Examples:
Power on : <CR>*pow=on#<CR>
Power off : <CR>*pow=off#<CR>
Source HDMI: <CR>*sour=hdmi#<CR>

Supported projectors

Known to work: W1110

Not tested but use te same protocol according to the documentation:
Others in the P Series

Not supported:

• RP552
• RP552H
• RP840G
• RP653
• RP703
• RP750
• RP750K
• RP652
• RP702
• RP790S
• RP705H

Please let me know if your projectors is also supported by this plugin so I can improve the overview of supported devices.
