Nice. I hope your renovation went well 😊. Let me know if I should test something.

Found and fixed a couple issues/edge-cases in the current pairing process. The most notable fix is that non-Android TVs that use the Jointspace API v6 but don’t support https can now be added.

Just need to fix one more issue in the pairing process and then I’ll publish a new test version.

Just published version 2.6.0 to test.

[https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/codes.lucasvdh.philips-jointspace/Philips-TV/test/](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/codes.lucasvdh.philips-jointspace/Philips-TV/test/)

This version contains fixes for the pairing process. I only managed to test this on an Android and non-Android TV that both required a pincode for pairing. If anyone has a TV that doesn’t require a pincode, please let me know if adding your TV still works.

Hi Lucas,

I’m still getting the time out.  
App finds the TV, TV provides a PIN, I enter the PIN and nothing happens.

This one doesn’t work for me either. I even don’t get to the pin code. Keeps donuting the word “laden”/loading, but hangs there. Btw, I’ve a philips oled807

Ah that’s a shame. Could you please initiate the pairing process again and manually submit a diagnostic report afterwards?

Thank you

Not sure how. The “stuur report” button is greyed out. Do I have to enable diagnostics somewhere first?

I’ve had some time to debug and I gave up 🙂  
The request for \<ip\>:1926/6/notifychange fails for some reason using the ‘Needle’ HTTP client and It’s not throwing an error so the ‘catch’ block isn’t called to handle the error. The ‘then’ block is called, expecting to get data but crashes on trying to extract information from ‘undefined’.

```auto
2023-07-28T14:32:27.131Z [log] [ManagerDrivers] [Driver:philips-jointspace] [TV: <ip>] Error occured running notifyChanges TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'powerstate')
    at PhilipsTV.parseStateChanges (/drivers/philips-jointspace/device.js:427:16)
    at /drivers/philips-jointspace/device.js:446:16
    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5)

```

I didn’t feel like finding out why the Needle library isn’t throwing the promise like it should so I just returned to the last working version which is using http.min. Problem is, Athom made the app validation a bit more strict and a slight error in the app.json is preventing it from running, I’ve created a [pull request](https://github.com/lucasvdh/codes.lucasvdh.philips-jointspace/pull/40) but in de mean time:

TL;DR:

1. [Clone](https://github.com/lucasvdh/codes.lucasvdh.philips-jointspace) or [download](https://github.com/lucasvdh/codes.lucasvdh.philips-jointspace/archive/refs/heads/beta.zip) the **beta branch** from [GitHub - lucasvdh/codes.lucasvdh.philips-jointspace: A Jointspace connector for Philips TV's supporting models up to 2018](https://github.com/lucasvdh/codes.lucasvdh.philips-jointspace)
2. Remove the double [‘key\_info’ line](https://github.com/lucasvdh/codes.lucasvdh.philips-jointspace/blob/2e8e710a028d49b70909e32b3cb1f55908b1da1a/app.json#L706) from app.json
3. run ‘homey app install’.

App is working for me again for the first time in weeks 😃

It does for me but I don’t know why Lucas changed the app so if it hasn’t worked for you before, it might not work now.

v2.6.0 doesn’t work for me: no TV is detected, and after entering a manual IP I go back to the “manual add” page where I just entered the IP. It’s the same as the last non-beta version I believe  
Philips 75PML9506/12 TV, which worked before

You could try the Android TV App, but that is also a bit buggy, sometimes turns my tv on /off on random moments. I do think that the Philips TV app isn’t working at all for everyone, so why is this still in the Appstore? Not a nice experience to have…

@lucasvdh can you please fix it, or just remove the app if you stopped developing for it.
