Binding Request: Sharp Aquos TV

These seem to be the relevant entries in the log:

mhilbush · August 30, 2018, 11:11pm

Do you have a debug log from when you tested using the setpoint widget?

2018-08-30 20:34:18.321 [DEBUG] [nding.sharptv.handler.SharpTVHandler] - Handle command 100 on sharptv:sharptv:29d24d53:channel channel

This definitely won’t work because the part of the code that deals with absolute channel numbers is broken.

chris_helbren · August 30, 2018, 11:27pm

That was using the setpoint widget.
this is the line from my map file:
Setpoint item=Sharp_TV_channel label=“Channel”

mhilbush · August 30, 2018, 11:33pm

That’s odd. Using a Setpoint widget to increase or decrease the channel should generate a CHUP0 or CHDW0, not DCCH0.

2018-08-30 20:34:18.439 [DEBUG] [arptv.internal.hardware.SharpTVProxy] - Writing command: 'DCCH0 ’

chris_helbren · September 2, 2018, 9:00am

Hi Mark.
I think the problem may be in my items file - what item type to you make the channel item when you are using the setpoint widget to send channel up/channel down commands?

mhilbush · September 2, 2018, 11:50am

In the next day or so I’m going to fix the issue with the channel in the 2.4 version.

You might want to consider the next 2.4 milestone build.

chris_helbren · September 2, 2018, 10:10pm

Thanks Mark, have upgraded to 2.4, look forward to the update.

mhilbush · September 3, 2018, 12:20pm

I just posted it here. Readme also was updated.

There’s actually three types of channels (analog, digital air, and digital cable). Not sure which you are using. Each should be declared as an item of type Number.

According to the spec, the analog channels should be between 1 and 135, however, my I get an error back from my TV when I try to set the analog channel to a value of 100 or greater.

Let me know how this works out for you.

chris_helbren · September 3, 2018, 11:23pm

Hi Mark,
Analogue channel works, but digital air channel selection doesn’t (unfortunately analogue channels have been taken off air in the UK!). This may be an issue with my TV. Is there a way to input the command codes directly as a string? - I would like to try some different codes eg: https://www.sharp.co.uk/cps/rde/xbcr/documents/documents/om/11_lcd-tv/LC40-46LE830E-RU-LE831E-RU_OM_GB.pdf (page59)
I have tried to connect directly to the TV with telnet (couldn’t log in) and TCP/IP using netcat (could log in but all the codes returned an error, including the ones accepted from your openhab binding (eg 'POWR1 '.

chris_helbren · September 3, 2018, 11:32pm

I think the command for this TV (LC-60LE636E) is DTVD***_ (3 digits then space)

mhilbush · September 4, 2018, 10:53am

The commands also need to be padded on the right with spaces to exactly 8 characters. Like this (but w/o the quotes).

'POWR1   '

I can add another channel channel for this.

mhilbush · September 4, 2018, 12:42pm

I added a couple new channels for 3 & 4 digit direct channel commands. Let me know how that works out as I have no way to test it.

chris_helbren · September 4, 2018, 11:00pm

Hi Mark,
The 3 digit direct channel command works with my TV. Thanks for your help.

Barak_Michaeli · January 27, 2019, 7:24pm

I got an error 404 while accessing this link,
can you update it please

mhilbush · January 27, 2019, 7:38pm

It should work now.

Barak_Michaeli · January 27, 2019, 9:47pm

thanks, what is Karaf console and how to access it?

mhilbush · January 27, 2019, 10:28pm

Hi @mhilbush! I just gave this a try again. Its been a while This is one of the last bindings I still have running in OH1.

I have the same issue I had last year where the power off works, but any other command does not. For example here is the DEBUG log when I press Mute.

Just like before (oddly) the power off command works. Power ON was pressed when the TV was already on. Otherwise it is totally offline and won’t even respond to WOL.

Here’s my binding:

271 │ Active │ 80 │ 2.5.5.202005041958 │ openHAB Add-ons :: Bundles :: Sharp TV Binding

I’m running OH 2.5.8 release build.

mhilbush · September 27, 2020, 9:49pm

I forget what we did to try to debug this. Do you recall if we tried having you run the commands using telnet directly to the TV IP address and port?

omatzyo · September 27, 2020, 9:57pm

No we never got that far. I think the initial thought was perhaps the issue was an interaction between the binding and the snapshot builds at the time. But newer OH versions didn’t change anything for me.
