I also tried these command on postman and they all work with my TV

@James712346 The viera.js package that's used here uses the same codes as you referenced above. The implementation is simplified though.

[g30r93g]

Hi there. I’ve seen many other commands that have the same behaviour. If the existing command doesn’t work for you but the commands via Postman do, then please respond here so I can look into how to solving this. Many thanks!

[muenzpraeger]

The issue is that after the remoteKey call immediately setOn is called. As it's not in your code I'm wondering if that's intentionally (by HomeKit), and you'd need some other logic or state management.

@g30r93g The behavior also exists with iOS 13, just FYI.

[muenzpraeger]

@g30r93g The last iOS 13 beta fixed everything. Works fine!

[g30r93g]

Great to hear! Do open this up if it stops again.
