How to send a numeric value via ssh to the raspberry pi console

Question

So I already have a SSH connection working but I'm looking for a command that can write a number like '1' into the console on the raspberry pi.

Thanks Sabifa

Do you want to display "1" on the pi's display? Or do you want to simulate the user typing "1"? — Kenster, Jan 31 '17 at 11:05
Hi, I want to simulate the user typing 1. Just like a keyboard input. — Sabifa, Jan 31 '17 at 11:23

Have tried echoing it out to your terminal?

    echo 1 > /dev/pts/0

Remember that (just about) everything has a device file, that can be redirected to. :)

Hi thanks for that it worked! Do you know if it can automatically press enter after the 1? I´m a real noob in this ssh communication thing^^ – Sabifa Feb 01 '17 at 08:39
Could you one up my answer please? I am trying to gain enough credits to hit 15! Many thanks and glad i answered your question. – yaquaholic Feb 08 '17 at 00:45
Sabifa, what are trying to do? It will probably be much easier to write it into a script and automate when it run. – yaquaholic Feb 24 '17 at 16:35
I have a led game running on my pi. This game needs User Inputs. For now, I give the inputs via a keyboard Input but with the iot a Smartphone control for this game would be nice. My program is used to do something If the numbers from 1 to 9 are pressed. So I thought it would be the easiest way to send a number, ie. a one via something like a ssh connection. – Sabifa Feb 25 '17 at 18:04
