Philips TV

The philips_js platform allows you to control Philips TVs which expose the jointSPACE JSON-API. Instructions on how to activate the API and if your model is supported can be found here. Note that not all listed, jointSPACE-enabled devices won’t have JSON-interface running on port 1925. This is true at least for some models before year 2011.

To add your TV to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
  - platform: philips_js
    host: 192.168.1.99
