The Sony Bravia series are powered by Android.
Different python packages allow to control the TV from a PC:
- Bravia Console
- py-sony-bravia-remote, Python 3
- BraviaRC, Python 3
- sonybraviacontrol
- bravialib
Set-up the TV
Controlling the TV requires a mix of its
- IP address
- device name
- device id
- PIN
- Pre-Shared Key (PSK)
Check the settings
Install pip if it isn't done yet
su which pip easy_install pip exit
Download Bravia Console.
cd /tmp/ cp ~/Downloads/bravia_console-master.zip . unzip bravia_console-master.zip sudo pip install requests ./bravia_console.py > exit
The console interface shows how to set-up the Pre-Shared Key (PSK).
Edit bravia_console.py to match the script to your PSK:
self.psk = "0000"
Connect to the TV:
./bravia_console.py > show info > show commands > hdmi1 > poweroff > tvpower
Change input source:
./bravia_console.py -c hdmi2 > /dev/null ./bravia_console.py -c hdmi1 > /dev/null
