Hello,

I am not not successful trying to have your plugin work with my TV (65PUS9109/R3)
Plugin seems not able to connect to the API.

Here is the Homebridge log:
[4/23/2020, 7:13:37 PM] [Television] Initializing PhilipsTV accessory...

Pairing was successful and I am able to make requests using curl to the v6 API.
Other plugins work too but I yours would better fit my needs :)

Can you help troubleshoot?

Thanks!

How can I add two Philips TV's in the house?

Hello, this plug-in works just fine for me. Only small issue I have is, that changing TV channel switches to all channels instead of favorites channels. Is there a way to change that?

Hi,

I would like to turn of the ambilight button and the volume slider as my speakers are external and I won't use them.

Also, my tv is showing in the remote control app but the buttons aren't working, i don't know if it is an issue or that part can be hidden.

Thank you!

Is there someone that works with the plugin? Since I installed ios14, it doesn't work. I uninstalled the plugin and I installed it again and I can't get it working, can someone help me? 🥲

I have the plugin installed and control my Philips OLED 803 with it. Works quite nice actually.

Anyhow I recognised that my philips TV now also shows up on the Apple remote. I am talking about the one in iPhones control center (not the app itself). Once I try to control the Philips TV over that remote (which doesn't seem to work for me) the connected Apple TV stops reacting to the same remote on the iphone (which is very unusual for it). Not sure if its the remote on the iphone that stopped working or the Apple TV that receives commands from the Philips tv via hdmi cec.

If I open the actual remote app at that point in time it cannot connect to this Appel TV connected to this Philips tv any longer until reboot of the Appel TV. I have another Apple TV that is not connected to the Philips tv and that still can be connected.

What do you have to enter in the config.json file that you can see the keys in hombridge. I would like to control the TV completely via hombridge so that the remote control is no longer required. do you have an example to integrate the home button?

Is it possible to disable the audio control of the TV?
I got a soundbar so i don't use it. So if i use siri to turn on the light, it controls the TV audio too.

Hey,
when my philips tv is not turned on Homebridge pulls out this error:

(node:11081) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: ETIMEDOUT

This error appears very often and seems to block the homebridge server in kind of way. Would be awesome if you could fix this issue!

By the way: are you planning to extend the ambilight feature? Would be very cool to turn on the ambilight in any color without turning the tv on.

It would be really nice to add possibility to turn on/off Ambilight + Hue mode from homebridge. Do you think it's possible to add such feature?

There are already several implementation of similar functionality out there, see for example: https://github.com/eslavnov/pylips
e.g.
python3 pylips.py --command post --path menuitems/settings/update --body '{ "values": [{ "value": { "Nodeid": 2131230774, "Controllable": true, "Available": true, "data": { "value": true } } }] }'

Tv Model: 58PUS7304

can u help with that?

Is there any reason why you didn’t use the TelevisionSpeaker instead of Lightbulb ?
It’s pretty annoying and unreliable to change volume this way.

The Tv appears in the home app with a wrong icon since the update to iOS 14.
My other TVs implemented with Homebridge-tizen are still fine.
I already restarted my iPhone, my RaspberryPI, my homebridge, my Apple TV 4K and deleted the cached accessories on the raspberry. Nothing worked.

Hello,

I've tried every single plugin to add my 2018 Philips Ambilight TV to HomeKit via Homebridge. I can't make any to work...I just want to be able to turn on and off the TV, if possible, control the TV through the control center remote, but that's just a bonus...

I tried your plugin and it doesn't work..any hope for you to make it work to non Android Philips TVs?

Thank u!

Since last Phiips update, plugin not working and can see this log in Homebridge.
[homebridge-philips-tv6] This plugin generated a warning from the characteristic 'Brightness': characteristic value expected valid finite number and received "NaN" (number). See https://git.io/JtMGR for more info

Hi,

I would really like to add a value button in it like this:
"values": [ { "value": { "Nodeid": 2131230774, "Controllable": true, "Available": true, "string_id": "Switch on", "data": { "value": false } } } ]

It would be great to turn on the ambisleep on my tv.

Hello, the first pardon for my English, I use Google translator, the second thing give you congratulations on the plugin. I have a small problem, it works perfectly except the volume, it does not match the percentage of volume of the app with that of the tv. In app 34% and in tv 20 volume. Could you fix this bug? Also know if you can add another HBO app instead of Netflix. Thank you, greetings.

Problems with plugin On ios14,

Hello, i have always this warning:

[24/03/2021, 19:31:53] [homebridge-philips-tv6] This plugin slows down Homebridge. The read handler for the characteristic 'On' was slow to respond! See https://git.io/JtMGR for more info.

Hello, it's possible to change channel number by source input like HDMI 1 or 2
