Hi there On the old forum: https://forum.athom.com/discussion/comment/72668 some people (incl me) had problems to control Philips tv’s newer then 2016 some said that is was impossible coz philips wouldn’t support jointspace anymore. But that is not correct. Since then jointspace is activated by default. The error message “forbidden” shows when you are doing it wrong :slight_smile: But i managed to control it finaly. I have the Philips 43PUS6262/12 and some features i allready have working. i can at least put the tv in standby mode with this: app: https://apps.athom.com/app/com.internet flowcard: POST JSON 1st field: http://192.168.2.16:1925/6/input/key 2nd field: { "key": "Standby" } now you know how you can control your newer philips tv and i bet the rest of the commands can be figured out by anyone. i hope you will share them because this is till now the only one which i got working.

Hi All, I have a Philips 49pus7101/12 from March 2016 and can tell you that Jointspace will not work on this model on port 1925 , i also think some later models?! But in the past i have searched for other methods to control the TV and found some interesting stuff. Before i had Homey i did some testing with Openhab on an RaspPi. Below is a copy of some thing i have founded and tested. I found on website https://github.com/suborb/philips_android_tv some python code. With this code the controls works. First you need to us the command pair to pair the TV with the server, when you do this the TV generates a code that you need to enter in the python code… When that is done, a new user and pass is shown and with this user and pass you can conrol you TV. Some notes from site The API is roughly the same as JointSpace (http://jointspace.sourceforge.net/ ) with the following differences: -Uses HTTPS over port 1926 -Uses /6/ instead of /1/ as the API path -All calls have to have digest auth to be successful -An initial pairing to determine the user/pass is required -Channel and Source methods aren’t available -Channel status and changes are performed using a different protocol that isn’t described here. The tool here will do the initial pairing. The credentials can then be used in a standard way (digest) in other tools Orignal link to openhab forum : https://community.openhab.org/t/binding-to-philips-49pus7101-12-android-tv/12428/4 Maybe this will help in futher development in a working Homey App for the new models ( Without IR) Mickel

Not really sure if it helps but I also found this Repo; https://github.com/arzzen/philips-tv Not that many commands… Your site looks promising! Is there someone on this forum who could take a look to see what the possibilities of these resources are?

Please check my screenshot… at least that is working. {“method”:“post”,“protocol”:“http:”,“hostname”:“192.168.2.16”,“port”:1925,“path”:"/6/input/key",“headers”:{“content-type”:“application/json”}} [image]

I think you’ll be happy to hear that I’m currently working on a Homey app for Philips tv’s that supports 2016 models and up. The most difficult part is behind me (digest auth on node combined with Philips tv is a nightmare). I’ve managed to get the pairing process working and I’m now able to call authed endpoints (which is basically all on the newer models). I’ll be putting an initial version on github soon, will post a link here when it’s up. I myself don’t have any channels installed on my Philips tv, so if there’s anyone who does and wants to help me test that part, that would be great.

That is awesome! Can you also switch from (fe) HDMI1 to HDMI2 with 1 action?

Not sure if that is still supported, I think they removed selecting a source from the JointSpace API in v6 because this does no longer work: http://jointspace.sourceforge.net/projectdata/documentation/jasonApi/1/doc/API-Method-sources-current-POST.html But maybe there’s another way, you’re able to send an intent with an action to your tv, maybe it’s possible to open the native android app and pass along hmd2 as an action? I’m still looking into what all the calls are that I can implement. The process is a bit tedious because there’s no documentation whatsoever on v6. Everything I’ve done so far has been reverse engineering and copying stuff from other implementations such as https://github.com/arzzen/philips-tv/. A short overview of the functionality that I’ve managed to succesfully test so far: Getters: system info applications (installed android tv apps) channels ambilight (current configuration; follow video/audio/etc and the type relax/intense/etc) current activity (the currently opened app) audio (level, muted) powerstate (on/standby) Setters: post key (a key from remote .e.g. CursorUp, Confirm or Standby) launch activity (send an intent to open an application) ambilight audio (set volumne, mute, unmute) powerstate wake on lan

[image] jointSPACE - Bindings The jointSPACE binding lets you control your Philips TV that is compatible with the jointSPACE JSON API over Ethernet. See bullit 4, set source. Does that mean that it is possible or is this the old way?

This article references the old (v1) implementation. An easy way to see what api version a specific call is, is by looking at the integer at the start of the path, e.g.: v1 will have a uri like this: http://192.168.1.10:1925/1/system v6 will have a uri like this: https://192.168.1.10:1926/6/system I was thinking though… with the app that I’m making now you could in theory change the source by sending the following commands: POST /6/input/key { "key": "Source" } POST /6/input/key { "key": "CursorDown" } POST /6/input/key { "key": "CursorDown" } POST /6/input/key { "key": "CursorDown" } POST /6/input/key { "key": "CursorDown" } POST /6/input/key { "key": "Submit" } Not the nicest way… but still better than doing it manually.

Oh… Geel… that explains a lot!! Thnx!

Hi @lucasvdh, Great work, happy to test the new Philips tv app for you.
