Has anyone been successful in integrating a Vizio Smartcast TV (as opposed to a speaker) using the Integration introduced in 0.105? If yes, how did you generate the authorization token?
I have tried the SSH method described in the docs but, as I am not loading a Component per the instructions for the Integration, it yields an unknown command error. I have tried using a token generated when pairing the companion android app but that yields an integration without any devices.
Any thoughts are appreciated, particularly from @raman325
@hads514 this integration wasn’t introduced in 0.105, it’s been around for a while, and as far as I’ve seen, people have been able to set it up successfully even on 0.105. Obtaining the access token does not require SSH at all but it does require being able to install and run pyvizio on a computer on the same network as your Vizio device. Are you sure you were looking at the right docs? I’m unclear on how I can help you here without more information.
@Kem, thanks this added the device to my entities. I had read not to do it this way, but it seems to be working through the new integration that only started appearing in my interface at 0.105.
Sorry @hads514 the device type selected does matter - speakers don’t need an access token but TVs do, and you are trying to integrate a TV you have to specify the device type as such. If you are having trouble with pairing, you may want to wait until the next release. I have added the ability to pair from the HA UI so you do not need to use any command line tools. The docs should be updated along with the release to provide new instructions. If you don’t want to wait then you can try to do the pairing using the command line, but as I said, this will require you to have python 3.7+ and pyvizio installed
