Control your Philips TV with Homeseer?

Domoticaworld.com Posted on by

With the 2010 and later Philips TV models you can control the TV’s via the network interface (Wifi or wired). This works through the open source Joint Space interface. (see press-release)
So I created some code and a Homeseer script to control your TV through Homeseer.

Guess what. Homeseer uses an Internet Explorer Engine for the hs.GetURL command, which does not support JSON(.stringify). Therefore it doesn’t work ;-)
So IF you know how to get this code (in the .ASP) working with Internet Explorer, please let me know!

You can however use the URL of the ASP script to send commands to your TV.

  1. I may have misunderstood but could you include the json2 external .js library on the asp page, which will allow the stringify command in IE?

  2. hi,

    im hadthe same issue with controlling Philips HUE lights, I used another http Post function (non homeseer) in a homeseer vb and this worked out of the box. Please keep me posted on your philips TV script, i would like to implment this as well. see attached example;

    sub Main (ByVal Params As Object)

    dim tosend
    dim data
    dim httpres ‘http response
    dim objHTTP

    tosend = “{“”bri””:254,””xy””:[0.63531,0.34127],””on””:true}”

    ‘ Start the HTTP communication
    objHTTP = CreateObject (“WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1” )
    objHTTP.Open(“PUT”, “http://IP/api/KEY/lights/1/state” , False)
    objHTTP.Send(tosend)
    data = objHTTP.ResponseText

    ‘ Check if all communication went well

    httpres = objHTTP.Status
    If httpres 200 Then
    Hs.writelog(“hueset” , “Datastream upload for device returns error ” & httpres)
    End if

    ‘ And close down
    objHTTP = Nothing

    hs.WriteLog(“gethue send”, tosend)
    hs.WriteLog(“gethue response”, data)

    end sub
