Hisense tv mqtt ip control

Hi everyone

I’m trying to integrate my Hisense 75A7HAU TV (VIDAA U6 firmware V0000.06.12X.N1212) with HA for IP control via MQTT, but sending commands isn’t working.

What works:

• Connected to MQTT broker on port 36669 (hisenseservice / multimqttservice, Client ID from paired VIDAA app).

• Monitoring is perfect — I see real-time events in MQTT Explorer (volume changes, app state, etc.).

What doesn’t:

• Sending commands (volume up/down, power on/off, input switch) — payloads like {“key”:“KEY_VOLUMEUP”} or {“action”:“sendkey”,“key”:“KEY_POWER”} are logged in history but do nothing on the TV.

Tried:

• Client cert/key from the Hisense-mqtt-keyfiles GitHub repo

• Validate certificate off, mqtts, various nested payloads

• Different MACs in topics

Hisense support confirmed no official third-party IP control.

Any working payloads/topics for sending control on VIDAA U6? Or is it read-only on this build?

Thanks!
