Deprecating homebridge-vizio

Now that Vizio supports HomeKit and AirPlay 2 natively, I'm no longer planning on supporting this plugin. It may still be useful for displays that didn't receive first-party support, so it'll remain available. Can't guarantee that I'll be able to address any new issues.

homebridge-vizio

A Homebridge plugin for controlling your Vizio Smartcast display using HomeKit or Siri. What can I do with it?

Getting Started

You'll need to install Homebridge first:

sudo npm install -g homebridge

Then, install homebridge-vizio:

npm install homebridge-vizio

Setting Up

To configure homebridge-vizio, you'll need to know the LAN IP address or hostname of your display. You can find this in the SmartCast app, or on the display's menu.

Note: it's recommended that you use the display's hostname, as it isn't likely to change like it's IP address will. The default hostname appears to be viziocasttv.local.

You'll need to pair your display with Homebridge so your display will accept commands to control it. homebridge-vizio comes with a helpful setup script that walks you through the process. To use it, use:

node node_modules/homebridge-vizio/setup.js

You'll be asked for the IP address of your display (try using viziocasttv.local if you don't know it), then for the PIN code that the display shows on-screen. Then, you'll be shown an "access token"; copy the token, you'll need it in a moment.

Configuring Homebridge

Homebridge uses a JSON file to determine what accessories are exposed to HomeKit. Add the following entry to your config.json:

"accessories": [
    {
        "accessory": "VizioDisplay",
        "name": "Whatever Name You Want",
        "token": "YOUR ACCESS TOKEN",
        "address": "YOUR DISPLAY'S IP ADDRESS"
    }
]

Controlling Your Display

Currently, homebridge-vizio only supports turning your display on and off. As Apple adds more service capabilities and accessory types to HomeKit, homebridge-vizio can grow to support more functionality.

How it Works

homebridge-vizio is based on vizio-smart-cast by Heath Paddock. Many thanks to him for his excellent work.
