Configuration

Preparing TV

To use plugin Wake over LAN feature, to allow to wake TV from sleep - Wake over LAN needs to be enabled in TV Network settings.

Pairing TV

In version 0.9 pairing support has been added via Homebridge Config UI. In the Plug-in settings option to Pair New TV shows up.

Alternativly, I recommend to use the python script philips_android_tv.

It was noticed by users that TV resets all credentials between Software Updates. After updating TV, repair.
