This is a dynamic platform plugin for Homebridge to control your Sony Bravia Android TV.
This plugin supports following functions:
Switch for Power (on/off)
Switch for the Inputs like HDMI, Scart, CEC Devices, AV, WIFI mirroring etc.
Switch for Apps
Switch for Channels
Bulb for controlling the Volume
Service for a few remote control commands
Why do we need this plugin and whats the difference?
It's the only plugin that exposes nearly all TV functionalities to HomeKit. All created switches has own characteristics which can be accessed in 3rd party apps like Elgato EVE. It has a built in 'settings' characteristics to adjust the plugin parameter whithin an app! It supports the latest homebridge API and has dynamic platform functionality. It can auto detect new apps (channels coming soon) and add them to HomeKit or remove them. It has cache functionality to cache the TV API in your persist folder (to avoid heavy polling). You have the full functionality about the plugin, you can enable/disable all switches/services/bulbs from your config.json file. And many more functions coming soon!
If you have problems with connecting to the TV, try a different port (Default: 80)
