Hi @Thedster, you simply create a String item that is linked to the searchContent channel. Afterwards you can update it like e.g. described here https://community.openhab.org/t/update-string-item-manually/18024/3vv , every input will be processed by Google Assistant of the TV. Setting the state of the String item to “HDMI 1” will then switch the input channel of your tv.
@eninaus username and password should be automatically filled into your config after you’ve set the shown PIN on tv into your config. These credentials cannot be seen in your tv settings.
@DanielMalmgren that sadly states that your TV does not support the technical endpoints that this binding here is using. Since the technical endpoints of PhilipsTvs are not public documented, it is hard to say what tv models are supported. Eventually all newer models use a new API that is not yet discovered by someone.
Yes, either that. Or there is just some problem with my TV and some lazy technician at Philips that can’t be arsed to try to find out what. If they had stopped using this API in their new models it feels strange that nobody else has reported problems yet. I guess there must be official products using the API as well?
Either way, maybe you should list my model as not working on your first post? It’s a 50PUS7906/12.
Hi,
love the binding, i run it in a docker instance without issues… until i updated openhab to from 3.2.0-M3 to 3.3.0-SNAPSHOT and it broke. Tried removing it and cleaning cache and tmp folder but the binding doesn’t show up anymore in the UI.
I get nothing in the log (but not sure if log is configured to tell me everything), no items from the old installation exists anymore as i removed them out of desperation.
File is located as per instructions in: /opt/openhab/addons
Output from ls -la:
-rw-r–r-- 1 openhab openhab 2049559 Jan 19 17:01 org.openhab.binding.philipstv-3.3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
Hey, unfortunately the log shows nothing… restarted and added the file multiple times but the log only shows the start up stuff… so hard to troubleshoot
what I had to do after installing: starting the karaf console and check the status of the philipstv Binding. It was (automatically?) set into status “resolved”. I started the TV Binding just once via console and since then it stays in a running state - even after restart. Exactly at this moment - when starting via console - I got my philips-tv binding logfiles in openhab.log.
Before that step the logs where just empty. Maybe this might help?
@bennYx0x: Username was automatically filled out but the password field is still empty. This is why I was asking for. Any idea of how to make the handshake again? do I have to reinstall the binding maybe? just stopping the bundle + restarting did not work
@eninaus thanks! It doesn’t show up in the list at all. bundle:list | grep -i philip yields no result. I have a feeling that openHab doesn’t notice that the file exist
and after that I restarted my Openhab Service once.
Then I get the following result:
openhab> bundle:list

Hi @eninaus,
thanks for helping! Removed the file, restarted, redownloaded the file, fixed permissions, restarted, checked log and bundle:list without any trace of it, no errors or warnings either. There’s no need to add it to any config file right?
I’m running the instance in docker using the suggested paths in accordance to the docker documentation. It did work from that path prior to updating openhab.
While most things work well, I have some issues with my Ambilight in lounge mode (i.e. when the TV is turned off). When I activate the Ambilight and set the mode to “Follow Color Hot Lava” the light turns on as expected. But from time to time (sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after 1) the light turns off shortly and then turns on again - basically its flickering.
This does however not happen when I activate the lounge mode using the remote.
Does anyone encounter the same issue?
Yesterday initially installed the binding. Works well, thank you! It is a 55pus7272
Is it possible to to keep the TV online after power off?
The thing goes offline after a while.
I see that a lot of people have the same problem as me:
After a power off the TV it will not recognized by the binding after long time.
I think i found the solution, well sombody els found it and I found his reddit post
Because alot of new TV’s goes in deep sleep mode,
I installed the app: X-Plore from the play store.
Wakelock is on Play store, but not compatible with Android TV. So you need X-Plore to install it
I download Wakelockv3 to a USB and installed with X-Plore
as it seems to be setup as system app, not directly supporting Android TV, you wont find it in installed apps. Found workaround how to run it, go to:
*Settings → Android settings → Device preferences → Storage → Internal storage → Apps → See all apps → scroll to bottom System apps → scroll down to Wakelock v3 and click → Open. (you also can open it after install)
Click on the processor and the wifi normal button, They will be yellow now,
Just close the app. After this my binding always respons within 10 seconds even after a night.
My apps are also reading so the binding know which app is running, Only Kodi does not response somethimes and stuck on the app before. maybe this app reading is fixed by my last software update of the TV
Can you please compile the jar archive version 3.3.0 for API 5 ?
With the current API 5 version ( org.openhab.binding.philipstv-3.1.0-SNAPSHOT-EXPERIMENTAL.jar) I have the following problem: once I do the binding between the TV set and the OH3 binding, the TV is disconnected and I always have to redo the pairing procedure (erase PIN username password, save, restart binding, reenter the new PIN code).
Struggling to get my 65OLED806 to show up in Inbox.
I’m wondering if I’m missing something, the binding is installed properly as far as I can tell:
openhab> bundle:list
…
270 │ Active │ 80 │ 3.3.0.202112261447 │ openHAB Add-ons :: Bundles :: Philips TV Binding
Running openhab 3.1.0 using the docker container with --net=host and no firewall on that interface.
What exactly is the mechanism behind the TV ‘showing up in inbox’? I’ve tried sniffing the network for messages from my (fixed IP) TV but it’s not talking/broadcasting much. It does show up as a device I can cast to from my Android phone.
Or is there some feature I have to enable on the TV somewhere?
