It has been discovered and i can turn it on and off but i want to know what i need to do in order to create scripts/automations or whatever i need to do to setup buttons on my home assistant dashboard to directly select apps like netflix and use navigation keys up down left right etc.

Of the 1.2% of user using this integration perhaps nobody has tried what you want to accomplish. Perhaps if you showed us what you tried that filed along with any errors others could assist, you need to understand your system anyway and not just copy a solution from others. Like the pinned thread says, This is not a HelpDesk.

I just brought a Broadlink RM4 in the end and stuck it to the back of the TV with the ir blaster facing down. Apart from the direct APP selection everything else worked prefectly. I just used the above code for selecting apps directly.

I looked into pyvizio briefly back when i was looking to do this and couldnt find alot of info on getting it set up. Im pretty new to home assistant as a package and couldnt find any real guide on how pyzivio gets set up. if you could provide alittle info that would be amazing.

I still plan on using the broadlinks as i have 1 on every tv as it gives temp and humidity for the room too which is a nice touch on the dashboard but to have a better integration for the tv would be ideal.

This is what the above code does. All modern Vizio TVs implement a REST API which you can post a JSON payload to it. If you read through the Vizio API docs on Github ( _SmartCast_API), everything is described there.

Then using that AUTH code, I can send commands to the TV just like a remote control but via REST and your home network. As you can see above, it allows you to control Volume, Mute, Cycle input (like pushing the INPUT button), using the D-PAD up/down/left/right and OK buttons, display the Settings or go Back. Everything you need.

I send to it the IP, Port, AUTH code, codeset and code shown in the table above and you have a remote on your screen. I will note that the pyvizio documentation lags behind the Javascript version referenced on that page. I had to read through both to get all of the key commands (codeset and code), especially those for the D-PAD. But you have them above.

Hi, me and my bf's family have a Vizio smart tv in our living room. I have no idea if it is an e, m, or p series.. Whatever that means.. And it did not come with a tablet that it apparently can come with? We bought ours at walmart. It has smartcasting that I am aware of but the problem is.. I can download Vizio smartcast app on my phone but our Vizio smart tv won't show up in the device listing... I've seen several walk throughs of people demonstrating how to smartcast to your smart tv wirelessly and I followed the steps exactly to the t.. But my problem is.. None of the walk throughs help people when it comes to the smartcast displaying "no device found", when clearly both my phone and tv are wirelessly connected to the same wifi!! So the main question is.. How do I help my vizio smartcast app find my Vizio model D60-D3 smart tv??? I have searched website after website on how to troubleshoot this elusive problem but to avail.. No solution.. So I beg you, please help me to the best of your abilities because the Vizio smart tv we have can stream youtube from my phone just fine.. But trying to stream movies from terrarium tv off my phone to the Vizio smart tv is like pulling teeth! It should not be this difficult to figure out!! I'm in my late twenties for god sake! I should not be having this much trouble..

How do I go about adding Chromecast to the tv app list if I don' have it. I can't find anywhere that I can download a new app to this tv cuz I'm having the same issue not being able to see my tv come up when trying to add a new device to the smartcast mobile app. I even tried using Chromecast on my tablet and it can't even pick up my tv when trying to add device. My tv is only a couple months old. I don't think it's capable of sending out a signal to connect to and yes everything is running on the same WiFi network.

My vizio smart tv which is now 4 years old has the same issue that you all described. It has a casting app named aircast live. I downloaded that app to my phone and when trying to connect it took me to a site that said the app was no longer supported. A shame u can't update the firmware in the

The thing is, some Vizio TVs don't have Chromecast inside them. They have Vizio's proprietary streaming device that will allow you to throw YouTube and in some cases Google play Movies but not much else. Unfortunately a Chromecast or a roku is needed. Vizio TVs with Smartcast have a Chromecast in em, if you have a Vizio with Yahoo apps, you are going to need a Chromecast.

What technology does that kind of TV use to connect only to YouTube? Shouldn't one be able to use a different app that "finds" the same connection to the TV for non-YouTube videos? Or do they somehow block that?

Thank you!!!! I have spent 3 frustrating days trying to connect my 70" brand new TV to the app. I have another older Vizio that never gave me a problem before. I was able to reconnect BOTH using these steps.

My situation: I changed wifi routers and also changed the name of my wifi. The Vizio app kept indicating my TV was NOT FOUND even though the TV and Android phone were connected to the newly named wifi.

I had the same issue and finally found a solution that worked for me. I disconnected my TV from my home wifi by attempting to connect to someone else's with a guessed password. Once the wifi was disconnected, the TV broadcasted its own wifi signal and displayed in the smartcast app setup process. The rest of the setup process worked after that.

I had this same problem. I jumped through all the hoops with vizio customer support. Had a vizio technician replace parts, that didn't work. Had a new tv delivered to me and it still didn't work. I'm beginning to think these are just $@$* TV's.

I am trying to figure out the same thing. I had my tv replaced and same thing. Cannot cast, however, my firestick and sons roku appear under the cast but not the TV. So I know the internet is working but it it not working good enough that the TV is not putting out the signal to connect to a phone or laptop. I have spectrum as well. If I use the remote and click hulu or netflix directly on the TV it works, however, when trying to cast it does not.

So after tons of troubleshooting and a warranty replacement on my Vizio D-series TV I finally found a solution. I downloaded the Google Home app and did a screen cast to the TV. After that, casting worked in YouTube and Spotify and the Vizio app suddenly recognized my TV! Now everything is working as it should. Seems the Google Home app kicked everything into place!

I figured it out - was having the same problem. Download apple home kit (if you have apple products) and manually pair device with tv (a code will come up, scan it). After you do this they will be paired and the vizio chromecast will work.

I only have cell phone data, which will throttle to 600kbps after 15Gb of Hotspot data. But I have unlimited streaming when played directly on my cell phone and casted to the TV. So thanks for the "idiots" comment.

So I've had this tv for a while I just gotten new internet my TV and phone are connected to the same one it's a 5G one from t-mobile. Now trying to connected to the Google Assistant and its not working any help would be great

I have a 40 inch vizio smartcast that is 3 years old. When I go into smartcast to watch paramount or prime I cannot get back into my local channels. I can go into the menu for the TV and it says I have the 9 analog channels but I cannot do anything past that. I did a factory reset and was able to watch them again . But as soon as I went to smartcast they disappeared again. Anyone else have this problem?
