    Not about controlling... but I think it would be easy to create a script that checks the Horizon IP every 5 seconds and have triggers on ON and OFF.
    That could be a good first step, right?

    Really good news guys... I have the first version up at https://github.com/jordenc/tv.horizon.ziggo

    This version allows you to power toggle the Horizon, and send keys. You can send a key like the numbers 0-9, but also Menu, Up, Down, Pause, DVR, Menu and more.

    You can only toggle the power. This means, that if the system is on, you can turn it off by using the toggle. Toggle again and you can turn it on again. There are no dedicated ON and OFF keys. Besides that, I was unable to make a detection mechanism. It seems that the detection method that is described by others on the internet (opening http://<HORIZON IP>:62137/DeviceDescription.xml) does not work for me. I also read that it doesn't work for some other people so I decided not to add it.
    The app can be made much more complete if we can work out a way to detect if the box is on or off.

    For now, enjoy! I have added it to the app store but it has to be reviewed first.

    Thanks,

    Had two crashes when toggled power but that was it.
    All the other input commands are working with mine box.

    @jorden will you create a dedicated Horizon TV settopbox app topic in the apps section?

    I would propose to do so, instead of continuing this topic, to be able to make and update the opening post yourself...
    If this topic has been made, I (or one of the other moderators) will close this topic; question of the topic starter has been answered / no topic for developers anymore.
  • jordenjorden Member
    I will add it in a few minutes, feel free to close this one!
