I had a look through the forum for a solution to this problem but cannot find anything. I am struggling to configure my TV above with Home-Assistant. Here is what I tried (and what happened):
added the “platform: braviatv” with the correct host IP; no bravia.conf file. Rebooted everything. The configuration module appears, enter 0000, a pin then appears on my TV, which I then enter in HA - the TV then says “configuration cancelled” and nothing else happens… note: I had removed all prior associated devices on the TV;
as above but created a bravia.conf with the right host, pin, mac (quick question: the pin is the pre-shared pin? and the mac is the tv mac, right? that is what I have assumed anyway). Now two things happen after I reboot everything:
2.1) if the TV is off whilst HA is rebooting: I see a Sony Bravia TV module and can see the on/off state, but none of the controls work;
2.2) if the TV is on whilst HA is rebooting: I cannot see a module in HA and the TV presents me with a pin to enter every 30 seconds or so (the prompt only stays on for 10 seconds or so), I have no configuration modules etc…
In terms of config, everything is up to date etc…
Basically, I am stumped, don’t really know what else to try, so any help is appreciated!
I had the same issue. Basically, starting with no .conf file, you have to just keep trying until it works. Took about 5 consecutive “input cancelled” until it took it.
I can add something…
I don’t know how
…but my HA installation (hassbian) find the Sony TV with out configuration code in my configuration.yaml
I can select it and send a google voice … and it’s work.

Well, my configuration sees the TV or at least the Chromecast components t to the TV so I too can speak to it etc… However this is not the same as the braviarc module i.e. i cannot see channels, change them, not change the volume
I think that we make something wrong in the configuration of module.
Surelly the module is work… but is if there auth error, that mean that I make a wrong procedure, or my conf file it’s wrong.
So you are still in auth error ?
Thanks

The dialog box with PIN does not appear on TV. I would be happy to use braviatv_psk component, however my TV does not have pre-shared key option, namely there is no [Settings] → [Network] → [Home Network Setup] → [IP Control] → [Authentication] → [Normal and Pre-Shared Key] menu.
