APP idea: Sony Bravia

MarcoF · June 2016

Probably this week I will release a first version. I will open a new topic and create a git repo for it. You guys can test it through the CLI and I will submit it to the app store
when it's "ready enough" for "release.

Good, good! My girlfriend was mad at me for working on the LG TV app while we have a Sony TV... LOL.

MarcoF · June 2016

LoL!!!

I'm still experiencing some strange connection refused/timedout issues with the requests.

Very strange and annoying, especially because when I do the request with Homey the connection is refused and direct after it run a request through Chrome it works.

MarcoF · June 2016

The last weeks my Homey has ups and downs with connecting to my TV and my laptop has a near 100% connectivity.

Last night I ran some test and it resulted in a ~90% connection fail from Homey to the TV while my laptop at the same time had a 2% connection lost over 8u+ runtime.

Both devices were using the same script in Node.

Development is at a standstill, this because I can't guarantee a functioning app.

This is the code I use on Eventghost to control my Sony. Maybe it helps.

import requests

Hello guys and gals. I have been trying for some time to use this codes to control my Sony Bravia 2015 using the amazon Echo. Since programming a skill for the Echo is way harder to do, I started by using the IFTTT channel/skill and the MAKER to get this going. I successfully was able to send the code request to the TV. The problem I ran to send commands is that the IFTTT and Maker only send a "body" to the address but no header.

To be more precise I need a URL which is ' http://<sonyIP>//sony/IRCC'
a Method: GET, POST, PUT, HEAD, DELETE, PATCH, OPTIONS of which I use POST
a Content Type: application/json, application/x-www-form-urlencoded, text/plain of which I have used text/plain
and finally a Body: where I have put the codes discussed here

Like I said before I can authenticate because that command doesnt require a header. But I dont know how to send the commands because there is not a header field to fill up.

Since this works from the web I setup a DMZ from my router and put the TV on a static address and made my router send all traffic from the DMZ to the TVs address.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@aaabest : Amazon echo is an inferior crippled product.... You should use Homey

aaabest · September 2016

Its an european product. Here in america is all about the Echo. If everyone can share we probably get somewhere...

caseda · September 2016

@aaabest
It's exactly as you say.
IFTTT does not support headers.
And probably won't do that for a while (they have been talking (complaining) about it for a while already)
So it's just not (easily) possible with "the American way" echo.

If you really really want it, create a device (IE: Raspberry pi) that runs a callback server to add the header midway.

Or just buy a homey, cause it will work as perfectly as here in Europe, all settings can be easily changed to make it fully compatible there so the "it's an European product" is bull..

Update 0.4.3 is on Github now. It has a small bugfix which should prevent crashes.
I will try out the update tonight to see if it works well, am not at home so I cannot test currently.

@jorden ;

Thanks for the great Sony Bravia app. I am trying to get it working with my KDL-32EX5000 (non Android TV) from 2014/2015.
First problem is overlaying text and pictures in the setup screen:

I am not able to enter the IP adres.

Next, my non Android Bravia doesn't work with a PSK. When I connect the first time a four digit code shows up on the TV. When I enter this code in the software I can connect.
I did some tests with a Bravia NodeJS library, this seems to work ok. I would like to help you to get your app also compatible with then non Android Bravia TV's.
I managed to add a Bravia TV which i could turn off with your app, but nothing else, and the device was not present anymore after a few minutes.

Gr. Remco

@RemcoHannink I am not sure how much of it will work on non-Android-TV's!
