How about supporting sony Bravia TVs?
There are some python 2 samples but they are admitedly not very intuitive…
I would like to write a component myself but i am struggling with the samples and my wife can’t let me work on something 5 minutes traight 
Would love this feature as well…some kind of remote would be best.Found another link as well-
Hm, power off, volume up, volume down and mute is working so far… I have a hard time to get how this is supposed to be embeded. I figure the power on over wifi needs to be either enabled on my tv or the command is wrong…
We’ll see when i get to to it again…
It was only found when i placed it in the mdiea_player folder and not when in custom_components (huh?)
here is the initial toy version of bravia.py based on the Samsung one:

Actually, I believe the bravia series use WOL to turn on.

}Um, does it do WoL over wifi?
Will add it when i get to it.
place the file next to samsungtv.py (change the ip address, hardcoded for now) and add something like
media_player 3:
platform: bravia
name: MyBraviaTV
to your configuration.yaml
WoL works fine via wifi
I would love, love, love to see this working as well.
um, you need to do ugly stuff because i am beeing dense but
please note, you still have to edit the ip and mac address in the code :-/
Seems to work for me.
If it helps someone to make dominique’s script works i had to add ‘X-Auth-PSK’: ‘1111’ to the header of the request like this:
headers={‘X-Auth-PSK’: ‘1111’, ‘SOAPAction’: ‘urn:schemas-sony-com:service:IRCC:1#X_SendIRCC’},
(note that 1111 is a preshared key that i had to set in the tv network options)
I also found other commands that works:
‘HDMI1’: ‘AAAAAgAAABoAAABaAw==’,
‘HDMI2’: ‘AAAAAgAAABoAAABbAw==’,
‘HDMI3’: ‘AAAAAgAAABoAAABcAw==’,
‘HDMI4’: ‘AAAAAgAAABoAAABdAw==’,
You can find more here if you are interested:
Thanks. Yeah depending on the model one needs to either get a key (tricky to set up) or set a preshared key. I think we should go with the preshared key. Maybe the default port of HA would be good? 
Would love to use that to get more functionality like read the current show/channel etc.
I can’t make sense out of the exmples to find out how to make the tv a swtchable component so one can switch it on with all other devices in a group.
@alvise so it kinda works for you?
Yes it works!
it also power on correctly with wol and power off with the request.
(All other commands works nicely too.)
Good idea with the HA port as the preshared key, now i was also trying to get some status/info from the tv.
Ok, i updated it, now you can set the channel 
V. 0.2 is on github
also toggling works so if you place the tv in a group it gets switched on/off with the group wee.
Maybe we need to turn off the logging for -
"updating state of the bravia tv"
I keep getting this in the logs.
Yeah it still has some redundant messages and what not.
I saw the code has option to send channel keys, but i dont see anything in the GUI.Am i missing a step? Mine is an android TV so would be cool to automate the apps as well.
Actually, i was wondering if its possible to design a full blown remote card with GUI? How do the buttons and icons map to the actual command X/Y coordinates etc?
There is no such UI in home assistant. See the example for a input and a automation rule. The trick is to have a list with the channels and the begin needs to be the channel number. The method takes the part before the first string and then sends character by character (number actually) as a remote call. see the readme.
How exactly do you get this working? I modified the bravia.py with my MAC and IP information, updated my configuration.yaml as instructed, but where does the bravia.py file go? I assumed that it would go in the home assistant root directory, with all the other python code (eg. /var/opt/homeassistant/lib) however this was not the case, and my ha log says that it is unable to find the brava component on start.
Any advice would be appreciated.
