An ambilight+hue toggle would be great! I would happily test an updated component with my PUS7101/12 
Glad to test this too on a POS9002.
I have a 9002. Would love to have it in home assistant.
Does anyone here have a 9002 and the a working ambilight component.
I would be glad to test.
Hey guys, I’ve decided to document all API endpoints and to create a better python tool to control Philips TVs. You can find an unofficial API reference and the tool (both are ‘work-in-progress’) here: https://github.com/eslavnov/Pylips (comments are welcome!)
It’s far from being done and it’s not a home assistant component (yet), but it already supports turning ‘Ambilight + Hue’ on and off:
python pylips.py --host %ip_address% --user %username% --pass %password% --command ambihue_on
python pylips.py --host %ip_address% --user %username% --pass %password% --command ambihue_off
You can use it through a script/switch entity in Home Assistant…
If this works for you, please share your TV model! Thank you in advance!

great module, reminds me a lot of the one from suborb, just cleaner and with more amilight options.
When I find the time I will build a python module, which can be extended on for ambilight and media player components.
@nstrelow i get this error:

Since the API does not support switching input sources anymore, I’ve made a small script that utilizes ADB to do it: https://github.com/eslavnov/android-tv-remote
python3 pylips.py --host 192.168.1.28
Would you like to pair with your TV? [Y/n]y

The API is unreachable. Try restarting your TV and pairing again
Can you please copy and paste what you see if you go to https://192.168.1.28:1926/6/system in your browser?
If you don’t see anything in the browser then either the ip address is wrong or your TV does not support this API. What’s your TV model?
safari can not connect to server, tv is: 55PUS6262
This model should be supported, but if you see nothing in the browser it means the API is not working for some reason… Could it be a mistake in the ip address? What happens if you try to ping it?

P.S.
I get forbbiden tex on site if open 192.168.1.28:1925 in browser
That’s very strange, hmmm…
What happens if you go to http://192.168.1.28:1925/system ? (notice it’s a bit different that the last link and it’s http this time, not httpS)
Again just this tex on blank site: Forbbiden
That’s extremely weird: your TV’s API does not seem to behave like the others… Does the official iOS/Android Philips Remote app work for you? It uses the same API, so if it works it’s likely a problem with your network config… If it does not work, then I am afraid your TV does not support this API (which would be surprising to me) or it’s somehow broken…
Also, (you’ve probably tried this before) you could try unplugging your TV for 30 seconds, then plugging it in again: sometimes the API just hangs for no reason and this helps to restart it.
@gyrga sorry for late answer, the ios app find the tv in moment, remote works and light options also in ios app. So the API must work!? Have also restarted the tv
Yeah, if the Philips app works it means the API is working too, but I don’t get why you can not access it through browser or python tools… I am really lost at this point, sorry!
@gyrga i got something with ip:1925/1/system:

Thanks, this is useful! I see two major differences from my output:
- You are running API version 6.1, while I have a version 6.2. I would expect that since the major version is the same (6), everything should work, but it does not seem to be the case.
- Your “pairing_type” is “none”, while mine is “digest_auth_pairing” - that’s probably why the pairing script does not work for you.
So, right now it seems that your API behaves differently from the others. I have a theory to test: could you please go to http://ip:1925/1/audio and share the output? This does not work on API 6.2, but might work for you - then I will be able to help you…
Isn’t there a setting to enable the use of the API?
@warcanoid What did you to to set up the Philips TV Remote App? Did you press Pair, and there was a PIN on the TV, which you put in the app?
