Philips TV
The philips_js platform allows you to control Philips TVs which expose the jointSPACE JSON-API.
If your TV responds to http://IP_ADDRESS_OF_TV:1925/system then this integration can be used. In the response, you should also be able to see the version of the API the TV uses ("api_version":{"Major":6...).
For older TVs follow instructions on how to activate the API and if your model is supported here. Note that not all listed, jointSPACE-enabled devices will have JSON-interface running on port 1925. This is true at least for some models before year 2011.
Also, note that version 6 of the API needs to be authenticated by a PIN code displayed on your TV.
