var YamahaAPI = require("yamaha-nodejs");
var yamaha = new YamahaAPI("192.168.0.100");
yamaha.powerOn().then(function(){
	console.log("powerOn");
	yamaha.setMainInputTo("NET RADIO").then( function(){

mocha mochatest.js --ip 192.168.0.25
or with autodiscovery
mocha mochatest.js

Discovery

If the IP is omitted in the constructor, the module will try to discover the yamaha ip via a SSDP call. Thanks @soef @mwittig
