}
]
}
If you want to control multiple TVs , just add a second platform (see above), change the IP, PSK and set a new unique NAME.
Exposed as a Switch to HomeKit, that detects automatically all apps from the TV. It also has new characteristics, that allows to control and set the Home App withing the EVE App AND change between ALL installed apps on the TV. You will be able to create own scenes. You can dim the light if you start YouTube and many more.. Note: Apple Home App doesnt support Accessory with own characteristics. So you need to use apps like Elgato EVE or other to create own scenes.
See Images for more details.
Home App is an on the TV installed app that can be defined in the config.json file (in v2.3 you are also able to set the Home App within the app!).
With the following command for terminal you will get a list of apps that are installed on your TV (Change TVIPHERE, YOURPSKERE with your data, be sure that jq is installed, see above)
curl -XPOST http://TVIPHERE/sony/appControl -d '{"id":2,"method":"getApplicationList","version":"1.0","params":["1.0"]}' -H 'X-Auth-PSK: YOURPSKERE' | jq -r '.result[]'
Just search your app and copy the adress of the coosen app. This is an example adress of my IPTV: com.sony.dtv.eu.siptv.video.eu.siptv.atv.MainActivity
If you dont set this in your config.json, the plugin will look for any cached home apps, if there is nothing, it will take the uri of the app in the first place (in most cases it is Play Store)
Exposed as a Switch to HomeKit, that detects automatically all channels from the TV. It also has new characteristics, that allows to control and set the favourite channel withing the EVE App AND change between ALL channels on the TV. You will be able to create own scenes. Note: Apple Home App doesnt support Accessory with own characteristics. So you need to use apps like Elgato EVE or other to create own scenes.
See Images for more details.
With the following command for terminal you will get your favourite channel (Change TVIPHERE, YOURPSKERE with your data, be sure that jq is installed, see above! NOTE: "stIx" is your channel number on the TV, BUT you need to substract with 1! i.e. Channel Numb on tv is 30, then "stIx" is 29!) (in v2.3 you are able to set the favourite channel within the EVE app!)
curl -XPOST http://TVIPHERE/sony/avContent -d '{"id":2,"method":"getContentList","version":"1.2","params":[{"source":"tv:dvbt","stIx":0}]}' -H 'X-Auth-PSK: YOURPSKERE' | jq -r '.result[][0]'
For your config.json you need the "uri" from output. i.e: tv:dvbt?trip=1.1051.10304&srvName=SWR RP HD
If you dont set this in your config.json, the plugin will look for any cached favourite channels, if there is nothing, it will take the first channel
Due to the reason that its not possible to deactivate / shut down a HDMI input, CEC device etc., this option give you the possibility to set your own off command. There are 3 Modes: "HOME" for starting the home app, "CHANNEL" for switching to youor favourite channel and "OFF" for turning off the TV.
In v2.3 it's not necessary to do complicated steps to get a list of your cec devices. If you want to expose your CEC devices like Apple TV or PlayStation 4 just put "detectCEC":true in your config.json and follow the instructions in the log. Thats it.
NOTE: If you have issues with the state of your CEC Device (due to different tv models) you can set "cecDevices" in your config.json to set manually the HDMI port. The title must be the same as from the cec device. Example:
"cecDevices":[
{
"title":"Apple TV",
"hdmiport":4
}
]
In v2.5 you have the possibility to expose a remote control (if "remoteControl" is true in config.json) to HomeKit. With the remote control, you can send commands like channel up, channel down, volume up, volume down, enter, home, toggle mute, toggle power etc. You have also the possibility to choose between "BASIC" or "ADVANCED" mode ("controlMode" in config.json). "BASIC" will only expose basic switches to HomeKit. "ADVANCED" will expose some more stuff. All these "commands" will be available within the "Remote Control" service. Therefore, this service is not compatible with the Apple Home app! You can use this with apps like Elgato EVE, Home etc.

TODO: create option to expose other Inputs like Scart, Composite, Screen mirroring
TODO: Bulb for volume up/down
TODO: Service to switch between apps
TODO: Better error handling
TODO: Service to switch between Channels
