Philips TV 2016 App?

Tim_Brass

Hi All,

I Have a new Philips TV (2016 model) and the current app does not work with that. Philips does offer the Philips TV Remote app. So I have the feeling that it could integrate with Homey. 
Unfortunately I'm unable to develop an app myself. Is someone planning to do so?

Try to find some documentation. Not all companies have an open API. In that case, someone has to 'remote engineer' their way into it, which is a lot of work and doesn't always play out right.

I can't seem to find anything about the Philips TV Remote app. Does someone else have some info?
Would be super if I could use TV commands in my flows.....

Why not using the Harmony app, @Tim_Brass? Works super and supports all other (AV) devices plus other IR devices as well!

I guess its all open source.... 
Could someone try to connect this new Philips tv to homey?
would be greatly appreciated!

iCarousel and iGithub are rather general packages, don't say anything about the tv.
