hey all
this integration is for hisense vidaa tv’s running the newer firmware that doesnt let you access mqtt openly.
i was pretty annoyed at the hisense team for locking people out of the mqtt, so i pulled together this from some python code i found somewhere that works like the remote app to authenticate first so you can use mqtt. it doesnt require mqtt, it uses the inbuilt mqtt to spin up one.
i will credit the person who wrote the python code to intercept it when i can find the github discussion thread. it require the standard certs to use which you’ll find easily elsewhere, not too hard.
it mostly does power, volume, input, but i am willing to add more settings if you can give me reasons! i just needed it to turn my tv (i use a chromecast with google tv). im thinking of making it a small docker container that integrates with mqtt when i get some more time too.
let me know what you think! it was really quickly vibe coded, so its work in progress
