Add support for Android TVs #752

Open mrlad opened 2 years ago

mrlad commented 2 years ago

I'd like to be able to control our Hisense TVs (which run Android TV) with Companion. Android TVs have a seemingly undocumented protocol which works with the Android TV app (iOS or Android) and the Google Home App.

There is an app called “RemoteNOW” that I currently use to control multiple Hisense TVs over IP. It would be awesome to bring this functionality into companion.

I've noticed there is a link to how to control Hisense TVs via MQTT protocol however I know there is a bit to setup there with also needing to setup a Client.

To access this service connect via your MQTT client with the following settings Host: IP Address of your TV Port: 36669 Username: hisenseservice Password: multimqttservice

Link to the site with more information is here -> https://github.com/Krazy998/mqtt-hisensetv

I'm not sure if anyone has any ideas on how to communicate with the Hisense TVs via companion?
