Figured out one reason, apparently my router’s ip binding by MAC address wasn’t as strict as I thought lol. Thanks for the feedback @Peter_Hendrix ---

If all goes well and Athom approves my submission, the first beta version of the app will soon be published 🙌 To everyone who still have the pairing issues: I’m still in contact with TP-vision, trying to resolve this. But response from their end is _incredibly_ slow. It usually takes more then 3 weeks for them to reply 😐 ---

Hi lucasvdh! I hope your project is going well. I was just to start the same kind of project as you are developing, but since I found this I don’t have to 🙂 How are things going? Can I contribute in some way? Have you found a way to unpair a device after it has been paired? ---

Great to hear! I sent you a dm with info if you’re interested. ---

## To all testers: **The button overview of the device is getting an overhaul soon and I’d like your input.** Because the TV has a lot of custom button capabilities and all are visible as a UI-button there are A LOT of options when you go to the button overview of the device. This might have been able to function if Athom would allow for custom icons on button capabilities or if they provided a more compact way to display the buttons, but that is currently not an option. So I’ve decided that it’s probably best if the majority of the buttons is removed from the UI quick actions. To be clear, this view: ![screenshot_20190924](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/6/69c3eeea4ccf16fecc0d638952510fec81fb1327.jpeg) Now, I’d prefer not to remove any useful buttons, so do people actually use any of these? I know that I personally do use the buttons for toggling Ambilight and Ambilight + Hue, but are there any others? The following list of button capabilities is currently displayed: ```nohighlight ambilight_onoff ambihue_onoff key_play key_pause key_stop key_back key_confirm key_home key_previous key_next key_source key_rewind key_fast_forward key_cursor_left key_cursor_up key_cursor_right key_cursor_down key_play_pause key_online key_record key_toggle_ambilight key_toggle_subtitles key_teletext key_viewmode key_watch_tv key_adjust key_info key_digit_1 key_digit_2 key_digit_3 key_digit_4 key_digit_5 key_digit_6 key_digit_7 key_digit_8 key_digit_9 key_digit_0 key_dot key_options key_info key_find key_red key_green key_yellow key_blue ``` I intend to only keep the following list of buttons: ```nohighlight ambilight_onoff ambihue_onoff key_back key_confirm key_cursor_left key_cursor_up key_cursor_right key_cursor_down ``` If you think more should added to this list or if you think some should be removed, **please let me know which one(s) and why.** Cheers ✌ ---

> [@Eduardo\_Rodriguez](#): > > key\_source: this key can select a especific source? Can be used in flows? No, this is the same key as on your TV remote. It opens the overview to select a specific source. However you can’t really know what the current selected item is… I’m still planning on check if a source can be selected via the `post activity` jointspace feature (only available on Android TV though) > [@Peter\_Hendrix](#): > > Any news on the approval by Athom? No not yet. ---

Hi Lucas, App works rather good already! 2 questions: 1. is it possible to add the ambilight+hue button in the then section of a flow as a ‘toggle ambilight+hue’ function? 2. Does the possibility exist that when you power on the TV via the remote, in Homey becomes ‘active’ as well? Now it remains greyed out. Thanks Jacco Ps. Testing with an OLED803 ---

Hi, where did the app go? I cannot find it anymore on the store and I had to uninstall it few days ago… 😔 ---

You should install in manually from the repo at [https://github.com/lucasvdh/codes.lucasvdh.philips-jointspace](https://github.com/lucasvdh/codes.lucasvdh.philips-jointspace) A startingpoint at [https://apps.developer.athom.com/](https://apps.developer.athom.com/) ---

@Gust0 yeah, Athom changed their app store policy… Apps no longer have an alpha version (closed testing) and apps must have a stable release before they can have a beta (or testing as they call it nowadays). I’m try to get a stable release out there asap so people can download it via the store again. In the meantime you can manually install it again as @Peter_Hendrix suggested. Read the “getting started” on how to install `athom-cli`. [https://apps.developer.athom.com/tutorial-Getting%20Started.html](https://apps.developer.athom.com/tutorial-Getting%20Started.html) If your on Linux or Mac e.g. ```auto git clone git@github.com:lucasvdh/codes.lucasvdh.philips-jointspace.git cd ./codes.lucasvdh.philips-jointspace homey app install ``` ---

Thank you!

Hi There, I seem to have a problem connecting the television in the Philips app on homey. Here are some facts - Year your TV was made 2019 - Model name Philips 55PUS7304 The One - Test if one of the following urls works (api\_version can be 1 to 6) On the http with gate 1925 I just get a white screen on all api versions On https 1925/1926 I get nothing. While trying to connect the tv through homey app I get the following: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/a/9a1ed6db98b75e21d710876d31af074eff05feaa.jpeg) Any help would be greatly appreciated! ---

Hi @Martijn02091989 , This is an issue which I haven’t encountered before and I’ll have to further look into it to give you an answer. I’ve opened [a new issue on github](https://github.com/lucasvdh/codes.lucasvdh.philips-jointspace/issues/6) to track the progress. Could you test if the Philips TV Remote Control Android app works for you? > > > Why just watch TV when you can do so much more? Discover how much fun interacting with your Philips Smart TV\* (released in 2014 & later) can be, with Philips TV Remote app on your smart phone or tablet. It can replace your conventional remote control and offer many extra features from easy text entry to sharing media that is on your home network and much more! > > Control your TV with your smart device. Don’t feel like using your remote control? With Philips TV Remote app on your smart phone or tab... This app uses the same communication protocol as the Homey app and if it works we should be able to get the Homey app working. If you don’t have an Android phone you could test it via an Android emulator, because I don’t think there’s a version for iPhone. ---
