Works fine here with 76.2!

This was working for me perfectly before .77.2 and now I can’t get my configuration to validate.
Running fine here on 0.77.2. What is your config and which errors are shown when validating?
its the same as before, I have had to rebuild my system but I went through the same steps as you outlined them, no errors when I put the component, but as soon as I put the YAML entry for a tv I get these errors

Can you check if you copied the braviatv_psk.py file correctly? The error indicates something went wrong there.
Latest version is here https://github.com/custom-components/media_player.braviatv_psk?files=1 and supports the Lovelace tracker card so you are informed that there is a new version of the supported custom components.
thank you very much that did the trick
Hello,
Great work there. Would it be possible to be able to launch apps using braviarc.start_app(“AppName”) ?
Cheers
@fredericpfisterer I have added api for that in my fork:
Exposes media_player.bravia_open_app command that needs to be called with an uri identifier of the app.
List of available apps can be retrieved from the TV but I haven’t exposed API for that.
Example IDs (at least on my TV) are:
Netflix: com.sony.dtv.com.netflix.ninja.com.netflix.ninja.MainActivity
Youtube: com.sony.dtv.com.google.android.youtube.tv.com.google.android.apps.youtube.tv.activity.ShellActivity
I have such script defined in HA for example:
tv_open_youtube:
alias: Youtube
sequence:
- service: media_player.bravia_open_app
data:
entity_id: media_player.mybraviatv
uri: com.sony.dtv.com.google.android.youtube.tv.com.google.android.apps.youtube.tv.activity.ShellActivity

Hi
I have KDL-42W653A (2013, not in the docs list tho) and it is working via PIN perfectly. No psk option either.
Are you sure is “uri: …” and not “url: …” ?
Don’t be misled by that name 
I have made an addition to the braviatv_psk component so it will also support the older PIN method. So the settings of the screenshot are definitely okay.
That version is still in development with the goal to upgrade the current Bravia component in HA, but I don’t have enough time to give that the attention it needs.
@Nikiya_Osborn I heared the podcast for the HA 0.80 release. Were you reffering to this custom component for your Bravia TVs at 37:00?
Hey @gerard33,
Thanks for the hard work. I’m new to HA and have been trying (unsuccessfully) to get this to work with my Sony Bravia.
I’ve done everything you said. I don’t get any particular error afterwards…
Just this:
It doesn’t work at all. I’ve rebooted several times, to no avail
What am I missing?
I guess your screenshot is made when the TV is actually on? Otherwise there is no issue
Can you share your config? And do you have an Android TV?
Is there anything we can do to help? It would be great to upgrade the official openhab version to the PSK one. I’d also love to get @rchl new services added so we can send remote commands.
Also I’ve got some streaming channels and on the TV remote I can type “202” (CBeebies for those in the UK!) and the streaming channel comes up. I’d love to figure out how to do that via the TV api. Sending the commands Num2, Num0, Num2 doesn’t seem to work.
I’ve made some changes to the stock bravia component to support PSK and similar features…anyways, I’ve added support to add Android apps to Sources list (can be filtered). This allows for launching apps too. I’ve hooked in a Harmony Elite remote which HomeAssistant reacts on by launching Netflix, Kodi, Plex, or YouTube.
Code changes involve python braviarc and python homeassistant::media_player::braviatv.

DOes it work with sony bluray home theather with wifi?
Here are some commands that were being sent in CURL form. They work without authentication. Maybe they are useful to you. If I ever dig into python like I’ve wanted to I’ll see what I can do. I’ve just moved to home assistant and had this and a few other resources I gathered while playing around with lua to automate things in Vera. There’s lots of data that you can get I’ve just never had the time to really sit down and get it all sorted out.
The formatting on this isn’t correct because I just had it in a text file so beware copy paste might not work without removing spaces and things.

Here’s a link to the sony protocol documentation if you haven’t seen it. https://shop.kindermann.de/erp/KCO/avs/3/3005/3005000168/01_Anleitungen+Doku/Steuerungsprotokoll_1.pdf
I have a slightly older Sony Bravia so the integration does not work.
However, I’ve been looking at what is being sent and I think it could be made to (largely) work with prior generation like mine.
I think that there are 2 key elements to it …
- The initial authentication (to authorise a MAC address for remote control) does not use a PIN or PSK. There is a dialogue on the TV but it just requires a confirmation using the regular TV remote control
- The remote control emulation appears to be the same but the starting point is /IRCC not /sony/IRCC. I think that the code could handle this automatically because the UPnP discovery returns /dmr.xml which has a section
<service>
<serviceType>urn:schemas-sony-com:service:IRCC:1</serviceType>
<serviceId>urn:schemas-sony-com:serviceId:IRCC</serviceId>
<SCPDURL>http://192.168.0.2:80/IRCC/IRCCSCPD.xml</SCPDURL>
<controlURL>http://192.168.0.2:80/IRCC</controlURL>
<eventSubURL/>
</service>and I think newer TV would return …
<controlURL>http://192.168.0.2:80/sony/IRCC</controlURL>So rather than hard-coding the URL start point it could be dynamically generated from the data returned by the TV or moved into the config file with the default being /sony/IRCC
I do not know if other things would go wrong later … so I plan to edit the existing code to handle those two things and see what happens.
Note - there is an open source library in C# that supports Sony TVs going back even further.
A mot suggesting importing it but it could give some ideas about how to handle different versions of the Sony equipment.
