Panasonic TV Plugin

[RedGrant]

This is a plugin for 2017 Panasonic TVs and older (version 2). Unfortunately Panasonic added encryption to their 2018 and newer models and it’s not possible to use encryption libraries within a plugin. Maybe it will be added to The Home Remote in the future. The normal plugin should work on Panasonic TVs that use Firefox OS (later renamed in My Home Screen). For older TVs one could use the WoL version. Older TVs can’t be powered on with the Power command.

The normal plugin uses one setting: IP Address of the TV. You need version 3.9.0 of Home Remote (Designer) or later. The WoL version also needs a MAC address in the settings.

I also created a new TVDetails page that incorporates a Volume slider (mostly for illustration that it can be done) and a TV-app browser.

Continuing the discussion from Panasonic TV Plugin:

Hi, im trying to use this. Only problem is i cant turn on my tv with THR. If i turn it on with my tv remote, then it works fine. Is there a way to turn it on via this app over ip? My tv is a panasonic plasma zt60.
Thank you

[RedGrant]

I just checked the manual for the ZT60 and under Network Settings > Viera Remote Settings there should be a setting called Wake On Lan. Did you set that one to On?

[Magik1109 (Merlin)]

Yes that worked. I feel dumb…
Thank you very much.
Now i just need to know how to control my bell fibe tv via IP.

[Magik1109 (Merlin)]

Well, it worked on my panasonic app which wasnt working before. But i still cant get it to turn on with Home remote.
Everything else works.

[RedGrant]

On another site (home assistant) I saw that another Panasonic Plasma (ST50) apparently also doesn’t power on.

What you could try is the Wake on Lan plugin from this site: Wake on Lan Plugin . If that one works I could implement it in the plugin for powering on.

[Magik1109 (Merlin)]

Yes, just tried it and its working. I can turn on the tv!!
Can you implement it to your pluggin?
That would be great.
Thanx for helping

Since I use a trick/bug to determine if the TV is on or off, I’m not sure if that works with your TV. Could you check if the value of the Switch attribute is “On” when the TV is on. Either check with the project above: Tile should be blue if TV is on. Or create a label with the Switch attribute on your own project.

I need that information to determine what I have to change in the plugin.

Hi, yes its working. Tile turns blue when tv is on

Attached is a version of the plugin, that uses WoL to turn the TV on. Depending on how you update the plugin, it could be that you have to add a “Mac” item under Settings with the appropriate value.

Cant seem to get this one to works. It can power off but wont power on.

Made some changes to the original plugin (added volume slider capability) and created a second version that uses Wake On Lan for powering up the TV. Mainly for older TVs. Download files can found in first post.

Code for WoL version:

plugin.OnChangeRequest = onChangeRequest;

Just wanted to add my support/interest in supporting the newer Panasonic TVs.

Unfortunately that won’t work (for now). The newer TVs use encryption and the necessary libraries aren’t available within THR. There is a solution in python and that one would have to be converted into a JavaScript one. Which isn’t an easy task

There is a solution though, but for that you would have to use Home Assistant too. Home Assistant can connect to the newer Panasonic TVs and THR has support for Home Assistant. It really works nice. I have connected two 2021 Panasonic TVs that way.

Thanks @RedGrant - for now I’ll continue to try and build my own plugin via my Vera Home Control, but what with all the encryption stuff it’s proving a challenge - I’m making slow progress
