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.

Configuration

Adding Philips TV to your Home Assistant instance can be done via the user interface, by taking the following steps:

• Browse to your Home Assistant instance.

• In the sidebar click on Configuration.

• From the configuration menu select: Integrations.

• In the bottom right, click on the Add Integration button.

• From the list, search and select “Philips TV”.

• Follow the instruction on screen to complete the set up.

After completing, the Philips TV integration will be immediately available for use.

Features

Turn on device

The Philips TV does not always support turning on via the API. You can either turn it on via IR blaster or on som models WOL. To trigger this command from the entities, the integration exposes a device trigger that can be setup to execute when the media_player is asked to turn on.

Remote

The integration provides a remote entity for sending remote key presses directly to the TV. The following list of commands are available for use with the remote.send_command service.
