[APP][Pro] Philips TV Testing

[Joolee]

This seems to work quite stable I’m curious how it works for you guys:

GitHub - Joolee/codes.lucasvdh.philips-jointspace: A Jointspace connector for...

Changes

• Fixed Wake on Lan feature (Allows to turn the TV on when it has been off for >10 minutes)
• Made app ~75% smaller by removing or substituting big dependencies (Makes development faster, reduces memory (by ~33%) and CPU usage and greatly reduces possible vulnerabilities)
• Added English/Dutch translations for remote button names (in the action card)
• Stop polling the TV when you remove it from Homey (Might fix some crashes)
• Split notifyChange and device polling into separate threads (should stop on/off flickering)

How to install

• Either install git and use git clone https://github.com/Joolee/codes.lucasvdh.philips-jointspace.git or download and unzip from: https://github.com/Joolee/codes.lucasvdh.philips-jointspace/archive/refs/heads/beta.zip
• Follow step 1 from: Getting Started - Homey Apps SDK (You don’t need to install the Docker cloud stuff)
• Run (You need to have a console started and cd’d to the directory containing the app.js file)
  • npm install
  • homey login
  • homey select
• Run the app with homey app run. Or install permanently with homey app install

Or install using WSL / Linux

I can recommend using WSL(2) with Debian or Ubuntu if you’re comfortable with that. All commands you need to run should be:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git npm
mkdir ~/git
cd ~/git
git clone https://github.com/Joolee/codes.lucasvdh.philips-jointspace.git
cd codes.lucasvdh.philips-jointspace
sudo npm install --global --no-optional homey
npm install
homey login
homey select
homey app run

And then

It should not be needed to remove and re-add the TV to Homey.

If you run into any problems, please run the app with homey app run and send a copy of the crash or other applicable (error) messages.
