I noticed that a few other TV’s that use the Smart Alliance TV SDK are supported, and was hoping it might be easy to add a Toshiba smart tv as well. When I search UPNP devices on my Android’s test app, it shows the TV on there. It allows already for it to be turned on, off, volume changed, and content changed as well because it is shown as a ‘UpNp renderer’.
Think this could be easy since other smart tv brands exist?
Anyone have any luck controlling their Toshiba yet?
Bit of an old thread I know but looking to do something similar. Have figured out that the TV has a rest APi aviable at you-tvs-ip:56789/apps/SmartCenter but as I know next to nothing when it comes to coding I’ll be of little help.
Have seen a few places around the web that you can send commands such as
curl “http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:56789/apps/SmartCenter”
-X POST
-d “<?xml version=\"1.0\" ?><key code=“1013”/>”
which should mute the TV but I get nothing but at least it’s somewhere to start after months of trying to find a solutions (even looked into flashing android TV frimware on the TV but didn’t get very far with that)
I managed to find most of this from this thread here:
Toshiba/Medion/Telefunken TV Control Script Ver 0.1 - Domoticz
If anyone has any luck would be really interested in how they did it
With a bit more investigation found that the TV uses the DIAL Protocol.
more info here
and
Thought I’d do a bit more exploration today. Please bare in mind that I am still learning but have managed to mute and unmute the TV by sending the command bellow:
curl "http://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:56789/apps/SmartCenter" -X POST -d "<remote><key code=1013/></remote>"
a step in the right direction i suppose. How I would go about getting this into a plugin or integration I have no clue
A few more bits I’ve figured out from the script in the link above and some trial and error
