If you have find any documentation please let me know.
You can try with the Sony Bravia app:

Unfortunately, this app does not work on TVs from Philips

Philips Consumer Care send me the info (se below) regarding the 2016 Philips Android TV models. I own a Philips 49PUS6561 model.
Philips Consumer Care states:
Jointspace will NOT work on the 2016 and newer models. To connect with the Philips TV, you have to use the standard Android tool adb. The standard commands goes by adb connect <ap address>.
There is NO manual, because it is a standard Android API, see also the LINK https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
For more info on the standard Android API: Android M API level 23, Android L API level 21. More details: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/marshmallow/android-6.0.html
Can somebody let me know if and how Homey can connect with Philips Android TV models (2016 and newer), and if there is already an app available?
Many thanks, and I hope the above information will help.

U can try to add ur remote with IR if u like?
My 2016 Philips with Android TV is working fine with it.
I succeeded in setting up the basic communications (for example switching TV on / off). Now I have only to figure out how to create an app for Homey.
Problem with IR is that you cannot check if the TV is on or off, so in flows it is difficult to use (If you have a flow to put the TV on and TV is already on when the flow starts the TV will go to standby)
Great to hear that someone is trying to create an app for Philips Android TV's.....
Let me know if I can test anything for you......
Im also glad to hear that you are trying this.
Keep us posted on this good work!
How are you getting along? Hope you can get It all to work!
Could we help you with this app? Perhaps someone else is also busy with creating this TV app?
If you have experience with developing an app then yes, you could help me. It is my first real app and I am at the moment very limited in my time. I am still struggling with the "add device" dialog.
sorry i have no Experience...
But have you tried the developers chanel on slack? surely someone could help you there...
