SonyTV

Author: bumaas

Controls Sony Bravia TVs over the network: switching on and off, volume and mute, selecting the input, starting apps and sending any key of the remote control.

The state of the TV is available as a variable – so it takes part in scenes, or the light is dimmed as soon as it is on. Inputs, apps and keys come from the TV itself as selection lists.

On the TV, control via pre-shared key has to be enabled once. A discovery finds the TVs on the network.

Included Modules

  • Sony Discovery
  • Sony TV
