I have a Sapphire projector screen (SETTS200WSF-AW) that I would like to control from Home Assistant so I can open and close the screen using automations.
The screen has a 12v trigger jack (which my projector lacks), IR receiver and an RS232 interface which is documented as follows
I have a ZigBee network controlled by Home Assistant (ZHA).
Can anyone suggest options for controlling this projector screen from Home Assistant? Preferably via Zigbee but anything wireless would be ok.
any update here?
Never figured it out. I spoke with the manufacturer/reseller of the screen, and their own solution was too expensive for me to consider. I am sure there will be a way to get this working with an ESPHome device that can send the commands via the RS232 interface, but this is beyond me right now.
@dunxd i found out that my marantz sr6012 can send out signal via trigger out ; and also seems that panasonic pt4000 can “listen” on that signal. I has 2 trigger ports ; one can be use as output → turn on screen; other input from marantz; ie once marantz is on it will turn on projector.
still not clear on it . need to test it out.
My projector turns on 90% of the time through HDMI-CEC when I turn on my Apple TV. I did need to mess around with my Onkyo receiver settings to get that working and IIRC Onkyo didn’t use the term HDMI-CEC anywhere - it was called something else.
The screen on the other hand I have given up on for now. As long as the tiny remote hasn’t been mislaid I just use that.
