Need help with remote commands (TV)

Ricks88 · December 9, 2021, 4:18pm

Hello,

I installed the following Sony Bravia integration:
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/braviatv/

On the config part i read:
“When the integration is configured, two entities will be created: a media_player and a remote . The remote allows you to send key commands to your TV with the remote.send_command service.”
And than some key’s i can use for commands.

But i have no idea how to set it up, if i search on ‘remote.send_command’ i get broadlink commands, but i thought the Sony integration just needed the ‘key’s’ to work as a command. Even then i have no idea how to call a command.

Does someone maybe has an example how i could use these ‘key’ commands( * Num1 * Num2 * ChannelUp) on a button card?

I do not have such a TV, but try opening your Developer Tools in the left sidebar, then select Services in the tabs and start typing remote in the service line.

Something like

type: button
tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: remote.send_command
  service_data:
    entity_id: remote.your_sony_tv
    command: ChannelUp

Hello,
Can you tell me how you did that?
Do you have the file?
Thanks in advance,

Best regards,

If you have used vertical and horizontal stacks I would suggest you consider changing it to a html table instead.
The rendering is much much faster.

Ricks88 · September 3, 2022, 2:19pm

This i do not know how to do?
i have indeed all in the stacks…

Ricks88 · September 3, 2022, 2:19pm

I will send the files, but as i updated to browser mod 2, nothing is working anymore. So i need to fix this first…

I would look into custom button. You could place most everything in templates and use a variable to pass in the command.

That is one I have built, 4 TVs, DirecTV and soundboard. Stereo volume on some

Thanks

Id love to see the configuration files if you’re still able to send them. Currently creating a remote for my Sony TV and could use all the help I can get.

Ricks88 · February 17, 2023, 3:55pm

Sorry late response, was out of it for a while.
Need to update them because of the borders HA has now added so will send the new files of they are ready.

PS, how can i get email notifications here? i never get any on a response

Many thanks.

Can i ask how you got the microphone command to work? I see you have “command: none”.

Ricks88 · February 22, 2023, 5:04pm

i dont use it,

But there is a list of commands:

custom-components/media_player.braviatv_psk: Sony Bravia TV (Pre-Shared Key) component for Home Assistant (github.com)

There was another one with lots more commands, but i cant find it anymore…

Hi Ricks88,
I’m a newbie in home assistant configuration, can you tell me how you use your yaml file ?
Is it code you add to an existing file or is it a file called by another file ?

Thank you for any help and for the job you’ve done for this remote.

Ricks88 · February 25, 2023, 1:59pm

Simply add empry card (manual) to your lovelace and past the code.
You do need to have installed hacs and vertical stack

abeaunom · February 25, 2023, 10:11pm

Thanks for your answer.
I’ve been working on it all day long and I can’t get it to display the remote.
I’ve installed HACS, button-card and vertical-stack-in-card but nothing helps something isn’t working, sometimes I get the code with unrecognized button-card but I often just get something that doesn’t display.
Any idea ?
This is what I get :
