hi @GandhiII

at sight this is on a 2012 model which may be just a bit too old.

two quick questions:

• The error is with the TV on, right ?
• Does the TV has smart Apps ? netflix, etc ?

thanks in advance

[GandhiII]

HI Antonio,

yes the TV is on. yes I have some smart apps like Youtube and Netflix on the TV, but only a few which are very old and will not be updated by Panasonic

[FPin65]

Hello guys i have exactly the same problem: TV is Viera VT50 (year 2012). the problem occurs both with the TV on and in stand-by; with any plugin configuration. i also have apps that haven't updated in a long time because the TV is dated the tv is correctly controlled by app "Panasonic TV Remote TV 3"

found a 'Panasonic VIErA' TV (undefined) at '192.168.1.3' .

my config:

OS: Raspbian GNU/Linux Buster (10) node.js v14.15.4 num v6.14.10 homebridge v1.1.7 Raspberry Pi 4B v1.2 (BCM2711, 4GB)

thanks in advance

[AntonioMeireles]

OK,

at sight the issue is that the TV's API either does not expose the apps to the outside as the supported models or simply does not expose them.

what i can do here, and may or not be enough, is to add a new option to TV's config (which would be disabled by default) to simply disable at all polling of TV apps). with a bit of luck that may be just enough to support those oldish TV sets. expect that later this week.

thanks again for your patience!

[FPin65]

@AntonioMeireles perfect!!!! thank you so much!!!!

[AntonioMeireles]

@FPin65

could you give a try to 2.0.16-beta.1 (needs to be installed manually as it's a pre-release via npm i homebridge-vieramatic@2.0.16-beta.1) and report back?

before restarting homebridge add "disabledAppSupport": true, to your TV's configuration in homebridge's config. (hopefully docs are clear)

thanks again for your patience!

[GandhiII]

Many thanks to you. Installed the beta version and had some problems with the configuration, but finally everything is working fine, except power on. Power off works. so many, many thanks for your fast support

[AntonioMeireles]

@GandhiII

great to hear! what's the problem with Power on btw?

[GandhiII]

I do know. It does also not work with the Panasonic app v2 or v3. May be it needs wake on lan. Will look at this later.

[AntonioMeireles]

humm... if it supports Wake On Lan plugin may be able to handle it (check the docs)

[FPin65]

fantastic! it works!!! me too the tv does not turn on with the plugin but the same thing happens with the tv remote V3 app. really many many thanks! excellent work!

[GandhiII]

I added the MAC address as described, but nothing happens to switch it on. I am not sure if the TV has wake on lan, as it is not possible to switch it on with Panasonic apps

[AntonioMeireles]

@GandhiII

from quick googling it seems that your VT50 doesn't not support WakeOnLan :-( so nothing one could do afaik.

closing. please reopen if you feel that there are more room for improvement!

thanks again!
