I’ve published a Homey app for **BenQ network projectors** and wanted to share it here, both to help fellow BenQ owners and to gather some feedback.

It controls the projector entirely over your **local network** — no cloud, no extra hardware, no IR blaster. Just enable LAN Control on the projector and Homey discovers it automatically.

### **✨ Features**

- **Power** on/off with proper warm-up and cool-down state tracking
- **Input source** switching (HDMI 1/2, Computer 1/2, Video, S-Video, USB Reader, Network Display)
- **Volume** control + mute
- **ECO Blank** — blanks the screen and dims the lamp to save bulb life during pauses
- **Picture mode** switching (Dynamic, Presentation, sRGB, Cinema, 3D, User 1/2)
- **Lamp hours** monitoring with Insights logging + a configurable replacement warning
- **Power state** sensor (On / Warming Up / Cooling Down / Standby)
- **Auto-discovery** on the local network, with a manual IP fallback

### **🔀 Flow support**

Full Flow card set so you can build proper movie-night automations:

- **WHEN** — input source changed, power state changed, picture mode changed, lamp warning reached
- **AND** — input source is, power state is, picture mode is
- **THEN** — set input source, set picture mode, turn ECO Blank on/off, plus the standard power/volume/mute actions

Example: _When my Apple TV turns on → set BenQ to HDMI 1 → set Picture Mode to Cinema → dim the lights._

### **🙏 Looking for feedback**

It’s confirmed working on my **BenQ SH915** , and it _should_ work on most BenQ network projectors from roughly **2012–2019** that have LAN Control. That’s where I could use your help:

- **Which BenQ model do you have, and does it work?** A quick “✅ works on my [model]” or “❌ no luck on [model]” would be hugely valuable.
- If something doesn’t work, let me know what you see and I’ll do my best to add support.
