New Sony Bravia TV - Plugin or HTTP Control

[yajean 0]

Has anyone been able to integrate the new Sony Bravia TV's (my particular one is KD75X8500C) with Fibaro?

sadly no.. i have x93 series (android tv), and not working with fibaro...

You can make it with Global Chache, but it will be only for IR control.

 

I did not tried it, but this could help.

HTTP control of your Sony Bravia TV is likely possible. I just successfully tested with my KDL-55W805C. The fibaro plugin does not work for me but this works:

I don't know if this is possible to implement into fibaro LUA but I will look into it. Worst case you will have to do it via some sort of proxy.

 

Edit: After looking at the code I'm rather sure this is not possible in fibaro LUA. I'll set up an arduino or RPi to do the cUrl magic and use it as a http proxy.

I whipped this PHP script together and it works quite nicely with my TV. Used GET for easy testing. Just make a GET request from HC2 with ip of the TV and the IRCCommand. Remember to set the auth code to 0000 on the TV.

Actually. I just managed to control my Sony TV using Net.FTcpSocket.

The TV needs a WOL packet if it isn't responsive so ping it first. Look at the github documentation and the json responses from the TV for more info. Getting power status can be done like this.

hi starkjohan, 

 

im pretty limited in my coding knowledge.  coudl you give a little more information to your codes above?  do i use it in a VD? 

If it is a VD could you possibly post it?

 

Cheers,

[StarkJohan 6]

I'll post the VD I've been testing with. It should provide all the information you need to do what you aim for.

@all

hi,

 

I've got a Sony Bravia Android TV KD-65X9005C and the plugin won't work for me too. The plugin can't find my devices.

I've got the same problem with my DENON AVR-X3000. Both devices are connected via LAN.

 

The remote of these devices with Apps on my iOS devices works fine via WLAN.

 

Any solutions?

port: 80?

[StarkJohan 6]

Yes.

[keldertrapken 2]

I installed your VD, but nothing is happening with my tv...

 

Can you give me a step-by-step for making my Sony KD-55X8507C work? Thank you in advance!

1. Make sure the TV is set to accept remote control via "apps". 

2. Have you read the info in my post (#4)? If not, that's step 2. (and set the pre-shared key) TV and VD must match, obviously.

3. Test with phone app or otherwise (CLI) to make sure 1&2 are done correctly.

4. Get network settings sorted and IP matched between the TV and the Fibaro VD.

5. Have a look at the code in the VD. It is a very basic example which should be easy to understand. In it's current state it needs a global variable to intermittently store the command (makes a more dynamic setup for adding buttons/functions). 

6. Make sure you've got the global variable needed.

7. Try the VD buttons using the debug function.

8. Let us know what is happening if it still isn't working and what debug info you're getting.

Hi everyone!

 

Had a problem with connect, plugin couldn't find my device. It found my receiver Sony, but don't see Sony Bravia TV.

I looked for auth code in tv settings, but couldn't find anything.

To check auth code I installed "Sony remote for iPad" and connect it.

After successful connect, I put this code IP to plugin without result.

Unexpectedly i saw auth code on tv for fibaro.

Now it works!

 

Quations

 

1) I see plugin in menu devices, but don't see it scenes. How can I use it, only manually?!

2) If plugin finds my receiver Sony STR DN840 in search, is it possible to control it? ( tryed with no result)

 

Thank you.

Hi,

I have HCL and therefore I can not import your VD.

I have tested response from my TV with code from GitHub (

) and it works. That means that TV is open for taking commands over IP and that I have right codes for IT (KDL-55W805C). But, I cannot achive same results with VD. I am new to HCL, but what I have tried is to set IP adress (allocated fix address to TV) and port to 80 (is that correct) and to put code in string field (AAAAAgAAAMQAAABLAw==), but it does not work. What am I doing wrong and is it possible at all to do it in HCL (i just want 2-3 simple controls for use in scenes)?

[StarkJohan 6]

Unfortunately I have no idea on what you can and cannot do using the HCL.

Here are screenshots of how I set up SonyTV VD and what is the form to add buttons in HCL. Like I said, I am able to sent control from my computer, I just cant figure in which form to interpret that comand in the field that is offered ("string to send").

Any ides?

 

Thanks in advance!
