Panasonic UB BR Players integration

Share your Projects! Custom Integrations

Hello there!
I’m happy to share the first version of my custom integration for Panasonic UB series Bluray players (eg. UB820, UB9000).

I know that some integrations already exists, but I found they missed some of the available commands or lacked the possibility to enable/disable authentication.
Since not everyone runs a hacked firmware to remove the authentication, I thought that this could be helpful to other people like me.
The “Secret” key is not easily available online, but can be obtained.

I also included the YAML used to build a “virtual remote” using universal-remote-card and button-card.

Here’s the Github repo, feel free to test the integration:

This looks really neat. How does one go about looking for the dev key for a UB 420?

I am not sure if the UB420 follows the same specs of UB820 and UB9000 in terms of control protocol.
Can you get in touch privately so we can try to sort this?

This works amazing!
