HomeAssistant-PhilipsAndroid2014

Custom component for Philips TV's running Android which are built between 2014 and 2016. Written in Python3 for Home Assistant. NOTE: Credits fully go to SirGilbot which made this modification based on the original Philips HASS component. I've contacted him and am awaiting his reply. I will probably be adding features in the future.

Tested on:

• Philips 55PUS9109/12 (2014)
• Home-Assistant
  • 0.95.x

If you are experiencing issues please be sure to provide details about your device, Home Assistant version and what exactly went wrong.

Custom Component Installation

!!! PLEASE NOTE !!!: Don't use this method if you are using HACS.

1. Copy the custom_components folder to your own hassio /config folder.

2. In the root of your /config folder, create a file called mediaplayers.yaml

3. In your configuration.yaml add the following:

   media_player: !include mediaplayers.yaml

4. OPTIONAL: Add info logging to this component (to see if/how it works)

   logger:
     default: error
