[APP][Pro] Philips TV Testing

I see it thank you

One issue I’m having with the app that was working when I just installed it is that flows don’t trigger anymore when I use my remote control to control the tv. When I turn my tv off with the remote control, flows with trigger “philips tv turned off” is no longer triggered, while homekit does detect the tv was turned off.

[edit] after restarting the app everything is back to normal, flows are working again

[edit2] it happened again and now I’ve installed flow that restarts the app every night

@Joolee great to see you made this update to make it work :slight_smile:
Now hoping that @lucasvdh will officially merge your updates into his apps.
For now I installed it via WSL.

248

Are there any updates ???

249

Thanks to @Joolee there’s now a new test version with major performance improvements and multiple fixes.

Install the test version at: https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/codes.lucasvdh.philips-jointspace/Philips-TV/test/

It works like a charm here the new version

255

It’s hard to debug this without having access to the TV but having debug logs would be a start. This would require you to run the app manually (see my previous post). You can also submit a diagnostics report through the app which would go to @lucasvdh

256

That is not something I touched in my update but It would have been nice if it had been fixed with the changes in the HTTP Request code.

Do you know what TV you have and can you reach the API on:
https://<TV IP>:1926/6/system ?

257

@lucasvdh here is my diagnostic rapport

@Joolee
The TV can be found via the address you gave. It is a Philips android TV from 2018. It is also strange that I cannot find permissions anywhere in the menus.

259

Thanks @Mark1541, I’ll have a look and try to discover the cause of your issue.

Thank you !

Hmm, You got an API v1 TV unfortunately. I can only test myself using a v6 TV from 2021.

263

@Joolee Can i provide you with any info or something that i can test?

264

@lucasvdh I recently bought a Philips 75pml9506/12 that I’m trying to add using the test version. When I try to add I get a pin on the screen but the app says “pin incorrect” (but it isn’t)

Also, do I need to switch on a TV option (WowLan) in the settings? (“switch on tv with a tab/phone”)
