If your goal is to have integration with Home Assistant, I can suggest this repo: https://github.com/nstrelow/ha_philips_android_tv
and for ambilight in particular this one: https://github.com/jomwells/ambilights
When Pylips has just started it had some unique features (such as ambilight+hue control), but nowadays 99% (if not 100%) of Pylips features are supported by those two repos (I was in contact with the owners of these repos at some point).
Both @nstrelow and @jomwells do an amazing job supporting their Home Assistant components, I highly recommend to check them out.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I use Home Assitant, and I would really like to add your work in this eco system. It will allow a lot of user to easily control the Ambilight light as a classic connected light and some other great feature.
Describe the solution you'd like I have some basics skills in Python and I can work on the integration in Home Assistant but the software require a pip library to make it easy. (Maybe I can use directly this github repository but I have to look further to see if it possible).
Describe alternatives you've considered I can make another repo from scratch and make the library from scratch based on your work. But it could be difficult for me to reflect any update made by you.
Additional context I'm open to any idea that could lead to integrate TV in Home Assistant. I can provide some help if it's not beyond my skills in Python.
