Compatibility?

[bluebu...@gmail.com]

I have a KDL55HX800 and I'm looking to try and control it especially with my Home Automation by sending commands to it.  Am I able to use one of the exes and it finds the tv and an xml file but I dont know how to get in to registration mode.  I searched around but I'm having trouble locating how to do so.  Then the programs crash right away.

Bluebulletrl,

Thank you for your interest.

For starters, Where did you download from? CodeProject or Github?

Secondly, which exe are you running?

These are mainly examples, but they should be able to register and control your TV.

I would suggest trying the Console Example exe.

KDL TV's do not have to be put in a registration mode.

If it is a Gen2, then it should just pop up a confirmation screen on the TV that you have 30 seconds to click on.

If it is a Gen3, then the TV will display a 4 digit code that you will need to enter on your computer within 30 seconds.

Either way, I suggest you be at your TV when trying to register it!

Let me know what I can do to help.

K.

Thanks for the reply.  I tried to run the ConsoleExample.exe out of the \bin\debug\ folder and it will search and find the TV.  Once I hit the option to test I get this

Before continuing, you may need to set the device to Registration Mode,

Confirm Registration or enter the Registration PIN code.

Go to the device and perfrom any step, or be ready to before ehitting enter belo

=====================================

Hit any key to continue

I hit enter and the program crashes.  Here is a screenshot.  http://i.imgur.com/fff6GdN.png  My guess is its looking for a path that is not on my system, I just don't see where I can update these paths to make it work.  I'd love for the help as I'd really love to get this to work :)

OK,

The Console Example should have created a log file.

It should be located in the folder: C:\ProgramData\Sony

Can you send me a copy of the SonyAPILib_LOG.txt file?

This will help shed some more light on what is going wrong.

Also, there should be a file named BRAVIA KDL-55HX800.xml.

This file will contain all the information obtained from the device during the BUILD process.

I did not get any .xml file, atleast not in the folder you pointed me to.  Let mek now if you need anything else. Should I be copying the exe to another folder? How should I have the.  Ultimately I'm guessing these steps are to help find how to I can send some http:// POST commands so that I can do it from within OpenHAB.  This will make me very happy :)

Sorry, got busy today.

Anyhow, according to the below LOG file:

I can several issues. One of them is that it does not discover the IRCC:1 service on your TV.

This is the SONY service used to send the commands to the TV.

Are you able to control your TV with the app "Sony TV-Sideview"?

Also can you send me a copy of the dmr.xml file that it finds?

This will help me determine if your TV is capable or compatible.

[SonyAPILib]

I hate to say it,

But according to the TV-Sideview compatibility list, the KDL-xxHX800 is not capable of being controlled via HTTP.

Hello,

Yea it looks like I can't, sounds like I need a new TV.

[bluebu...@gmail.com]

Heres the XML returned, which kinda had me hoping. I tried the app and it doesn't register.

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

Wow,

This is very strange.

Towards the bottom it shows a sample IRCCCodeList with 3 IRCCCodes, "Power", "Power On", "Power Off", even though there should be about 38 total, they never show them all here.

But the strange part is that there is no IRCC service? But it dose show the AVTransport, ConnectionManager, and RenderingControl.

Using "RenderingControl", you may be able to change the volume or set mute, but you wont be able to change channels or use the menu system.

This sounds like an older generation, or before they fully implemented the control through HTTP.

How old is your TV?
