I tried to use panasonic_bluray integration to add my UB-820 but it doesn’t work. It shows up in the dashboard but I can’t do anything and it doesn’t see if the unit is actually turned on.
I don’t even know if this model has network control. I did turn on everything network related in the settings but I don’t know how to test it.
You can see how it looks like on screenshots below. One is for whole setup turned on and one being off. Don’t mind two LGs - I was checking difference between HomeKit integration vs webostv one.
I still didn’t find any useful info regarding UB820 and web access. The only I’ve manage to get is scanning ports in my LAN:
PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION
9080/tcp open http Mongoose httpd
Running: Linux 3.X|4.X
OS CPE: cpe:/o:linux:linux_kernel:3 cpe:/o:linux:linux_kernel:4
OS details: Linux 3.11 - 4.1
Making request to this address, on this port, results in response application/json header but the response itself is simply status=ok.
Same issue on my side. I used the panasonic_bluray integration and added by IP address. My UI looks the same and the command seems unresponsive. Any ideas on how to get this working?
Nope, I couldn’t find any useful info. Panasonic itself didn’t want to help me as well so I simply stopped trying.
+1 for support of current players.
I created a feature request here:
+1, reporting the exact same issue
I found the answer thanks to this post.
You need to have the Bluray on the same network, that we knew. The key is to enable the unintuitevely called “Voice Assistant” feature on the Blu Ray. Once that’s done you can turn on/off, and will see state changes
Also, once I did this the player was autodected by Home Assistant as DLNA Digital Media Renderer. If you only need it to monitor state, this is probably an easier option. I’ll monitor the two entities to see which one has more accuracy
