Hello

thanks for this great lib!

  1. is there a java version for this project?
  2. is there a way to test this project on some kind of emulator if i don't have a philips tv?

Hi there,

  1. There is no Java version. I'm struggling to imagine a use case for that, why do you ask?
  2. Not sure that I get the question. What's the point if you don't have a Philips tv?

Hi.

  1. just for a practicing study, I thought it would be educative to create a java version of it
  2. I'll clarify myself- was wondering if there are like unit tests or dummy api responses for testing if a philips tv isn't always available.

No, there are no unit tests. You can see examples of the responses in the wiki.

Looking at your issues in other repos, I'd go on a limb and assume that you want to build some kind of a universal remote app in Java, right? I'd recommend thinking about integrating existing projects as opposed to re-implementing them in Java - otherwise it will be a nightmare to maintain, especially if you don't have all those TVs.

Closing this issue since it does not really relate to Pylips functionality.
