IP control of Sony TV with HA

[RobDYI]

I got this to work from my mac so it can be integrate into HA to control my Sony TV. I wanted more control than the bravia component. It is really easy to setup, I changed my sony TV passcode to 0000 and set it to ip control.

for Netflix

$ ./send_command.sh 192.168.2.112 AAAAAgAAABoAAAB8Aw==

[Gabber (Ivan Gabriel)]

Dear, I have installed the original component for the sony bravia tv. I configured it fine. The tv shuts on and off with alexa voice commands. I want also control other things, like turning on netflix, but I don’t know how to do this. Where do I have to put all this command lines? I am New with home assistant, so forgive me for asking maybe stupid questions. Thank you in advance!

[RobDYI]

For you to do this, you need to have access to the command line of where Home Assistant is installed. I have a mac where i downloaded the program above and can simply run the program called send_command.sh like this

./send_command.sh 192.168.2.112 AAAAAgAAABoAAAB8Aw==

Are you on a Raspberry PI and how did you install?

[Gabber (Ivan Gabriel)]

Hello RobDYI, Thank you for the Quick reply! I have installed home assistant on a Raspberry Pi indeed. Greetings and Thank you for helping me!

[frank451 (aaron)]

Hi

I have two older model Sony Bravia TVs with network port, however they’re not compatible with the bravia component - from memory there is no where to put the PSK in the TV etc.

Would this command option work with the the older models?

Thanks

[RobDYI]

To install and try you need to ssh into your Pi, probably the same way you installed HA.

These are the command to type, you need to setup your TV as below.

git clone https://github.com/breunigs/bravia-auth-and-remote
cd bravia-auth-and-remote
./send_command.sh 192.168.2.112 AAAAAgAAABoAAAB8Aw==

Setup TV

You need to set your TV to use a pre-shared key.

Navigate to: [Settings] → [Network] → [Home Network Setup] → [IP Control]

Set [Authentication] to [Normal and Pre-Shared Key]

There should be a new menu entry [Pre-Shared Key]. Set it to 0000. If you choose
anything else, you need to change the PSK in the send_command.sh script.

[Gabber (Ivan Gabriel)]

Hey RobDYI, I feel stupid right now. Sorry :-). I installed home assistant with this video https://youtu.be/c2IUIUnxjUY. So I am not sure what you mean by ssh. Is there a video or some thing that shows me the way? Thanks a lot! Greetings

[RobDYI]

I don’t think you can install this program on your installation. I think you have hass.io installed which I don’t.

[Mattias_Persson]

I’m on hass.io with a 2013 bravia and I send commands like this (option button on the remote)

shell_command:
  sony_options: |-
    curl -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST -d '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" s:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"><s:Body><u:X_SendIRCC xmlns:u="urn:schemas-sony-com:service:IRCC:1"><IRCCCode>AAAAAgAAAJcAAAA2Aw==</IRCCCode></u:X_SendIRCC></s:Body></s:Envelope>' http://10.0.1.4/sony/IRCC?

[reckless]

Hi @RobDYI, do you know how to install this script when running HA in a Docker container? Is this still the easiest way for full IP control over the Sony Bravia? Thanks for the help.

[RobDYI]

You can google for ip control bravia and their are several different github project that you can try. I would suggest using this custom components as it added some basis ip control like on and netflix but not all. I really only needed the numbers in ip control so I can program changing channels.

Sony Bravia TV component with Pre-Shared Key

Thank you very much.

[argykaraz]

I found your script yesterday and I thought I would give it a try. While it was working, I now suddenly had this error coming up:

./send_command.sh 192.168.1.6 aaaaaqaaaaeaaabgaw==
Command failed (HTTP_CODE: 500, try running it in a console)

And I am running it in a console

[RobDYI]

Perhaps your TV ip address changed. I set mine as static.

[argykaraz]

Mine is static too… And can also ping it.

[Ali_Kiaie]

is there an instruction for hassio? those run this run that are aliens to me
or maybe can share their configs and scrips for me.

[RobDYI]

I would try this if it fits your needs.

Sony Bravia TV component with Pre-Shared Key

Edit: this component is available in the default HACS repository. More info here -> https://github.com/custom-components/media_player.braviatv_psk. Please install the component from there and don’t use the outdated instructions from the post below. Using Home Assistant for some weeks now and it works great I have a Sony Bravia TV and I have used the braviatv platform, but that was not working very well for me. After some days the state card wasn’t updating anymore and I got a l…

[Ali_Kiaie]

thanks. I want to make use of the shell commands. but I am not sure how to find the path of where config folder is on hassio

[Ali_Kiaie]

Hi, can you explain this for me? I have a sony android tv and try to get this to work

[RobDYI]

I don’t use hass.io but I think its fairly tied down so you might no be able to run shell commands on the same machine as the hass.io.

You can try another computer on the network like here.

Hass.io shell_command error

Apologies for thread revival. These instructions: login into your hass.io pi ssh root@[HASSIO IP] create the folder mkdir /config/.ssh create key ssh-keygen tell it to store it in /config/.ssh/id_rsa The default location for storing this key with Hass.io seems to be /root/.ssh instead of /config/.ssh. My keys stay there after reboot and seem to work - is there a reason you’ve put this in your /config directory?
