Philips Smart TVs also with SAPHI OS

Feature Requests
1

Currently the Philips TV integration uses the jointspace API which is only avaliable for a selection of Philips TVs running Android.

There is a second product branch running a more streamlined OS called SAPHI OS. These devices do not have Jointspace. However, if you search for pylips on github, you’ll find a python library which uses a reverse engineered API for both product branches. This could help enable a more wider target range for connecting philips tvs to HA. I’d love to have this to check the TVs status and dim my Hue lights accordingly.

Also have a Philips 754 with ambilight. Would be awesome if there’s a way to control the ambilight.

3

Integration would be awesome.
For a workaround, i`ve managed to get some basic automations running using a broadlink device to emulate the remote control, which includes (at least for the phillips 55OLED 794 series) dedicated buttons for netflix & Rakuten TV.

I`ve scoured the internet for a long time to truly get the smart aspect of the smart tv integrated in hassio but this was the most workable for now. Maybe this helps someone :slight_smile:

There is the https://github.com/eslavnov/pylips which seems to work for my 43PUS6754/12 but would love to see it integration into HA.

Can you guys dump the system endpoint of your saphi tv:s here?

Should be on any of these endpoints.

https://hostname:1926/6/system
http://hostname:1925/6/system
http://hostname:1925/5/system
http://hostname:1925/1/system
http://hostname:1925/system

Ps. You may want to redact serial number.

Perfect! Thanks guys.

Does: http://hostname:1925/6/powerstate
Or: https://hostname:1926/6/powerstate
work?

Does it require authentication?

10

It does work for me without authentication on the http-adress but the TV must be on.

11

Cool: that mean: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/46422 aught to work.

Source selection wont nor applications. But if you can test it and report results maybe i can get some things fixed.

12

So some more endpoints i’d like the output from:
http://hostname:1925/6/channeldb/tv
http://hostname:1925/6/applications
http://hostname:1925/6/activities/browser
http://hostname:1925/6/activities/current
http://hostname:1925/6/activities/tv

Also if you could grab, while playing some tv channel, while on some hdmi source, while at home menu i would be good.
http://hostname:1925/6/context

You can use my tool now :slight_smile:

Get a python virtual environment

python3 -m venv venv_philips
. venv_philips/bin/activate

Install tool there

pip install -I git+https://github.com/danielperna84/ha-philipsjs.git@master

Run status output command

python -m haphilipsjs -i hostname -a 6 status

Run a specific endpoint

python -m haphilipsjs -i hostname -a 6 get context
python -m haphilipsjs -i hostname -a 6 get channeldb/tv

Also i’ve updated https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/46422 with theoretical support for saphi tv.

You can run it as custom component by grabbing the component here: https://minhaskamal.github.io/DownGit/#/home?url=https://github.com/elupus/home-assistant/tree/philips_js_pair/homeassistant/components/philips_js

Thanks for your effort so far! :star_struck:
Will give this a try today or tomorrow.

get context
{'level1': 'WatchExtension', 'level2': 'NA', 'level3': 'NA', 'data': 'NA', 'Recording': 'Off'}

get channeldb/tv 
{}

get activities/tv     
{'channel': {}, 'channelList': {}}

The activities browser and current returned with none
I did get these while the input was on HDMI.
To be fair I watch TV with an external box so that might effect some settings.

I tried out the custom component but it doesn’t seem to work for now.
It states an unknown error when trying to connect on all the three API’s.

Here some logs:

Right I see the problem. I tried to pair while it shouldn’t. I have fixed that issue. Could you try again?

19

Yes, the tv comes into HA now. For now the only thing that seems to work is to get the state from the tv, on/off. List of applications is empty.
Channels also, but I don’t have this setup, so I expect the channels to be empty.

edit:
I never gave the output from the endpoint of activities:

In the tool I get None and in the browser I get forbidden.

Okey. So it’s a start. Strange with volume keys. That i would have expected to work. I wonder if you need to authenticate to get those things.
