Help with funcitonality of Sony Bravia TV

Hi all

I am very new to HA but have managed to get my Sony TV paired with the HA.

I do have the ability to turn the TV off. But once off cannot get it to turn back on (Im guessing this is because the device is no longer on the network so need some wake up on lan ability ??)

I also have no ability to turn the tv up or down change source etc

Also I have an Alexa and using HA have managed to control the Tivo box (Virgin) through Alexa but not quite got the same functionality on turning the TV off.

Can anyone please help or offer some code you are using in your .yaml folder to help me along

Many thanks

I don’t have any automations setup for the Bravia, but the default cover does turn on/off the tv, changes volume and sources. No special setup required.

I did just update the Bravia firmware yesterday, but pretty sure it could do all those things before as well.

So this is the only entry I have

media_player:

  • platform: braviatv
    host: 192.168.0.11

I should have said I can turn the volume up and down from HA and turn it off, but turn it on doesn’t work when the device is off but not sure how this works as when it is off it is not pingable so perhaps I need to change something on the TV itself

I would like to get it working with Alexa also if anyone knows how to do this

It never fully turns off, see if it drops from your network. Mine turns back on.

For Alexa look into ‘emulated hue’.

I’m using Hue ok to turn the virgin box on and off with no issues just doesn’t seem to get on with my Sony TV to well

when I ping the ip address of my tv when it is off I get it is unreachable which would explain why the commands don’t work

I’m would have thought I would need some wake on lan facility .
