Hi I have a BenQ TK850i which looks like it might work with this nice integration. I was going to use an rs232 to network adapter would this integration be able to connect to the projector with HA running on a pi? I don't have local access to the rs232 as my pi is a long distance apart. Many thanks.

The integration currently does not support network connections, however I have the parts to built a serial to network adapter using ESPlink-Firmware and have plans to implement that in the future.

What serial to network adapter are you using?

Thanks for the fast response. I haven’t purchased any devices (other than the projector) yet just musing how to do it with your integration. Just learning it’s a not an easy issue to solve!If you get any solutions I will try out!TimSent from my iPadOn 3 Feb 2023, at 08:52, rrooggiieerr @.***> wrote: The integration currently does not support network connections, however I have the parts to built a serial to network adapter using ESPlink-Firmware and have plans to implement that in the future.

Hello Guys,

serial over ip would be fantastic. Your integration looks really good. I was investigating Esp-Link with esp8266 wemos d1.

I tested esphome but you dont get as many infos / updated infos without a custom script

I currently have a W2000+ that doesn't have a LAN connection but a RS-232 port, and with a ESP8266 and ESPHome, I can configure my videoprojector over the network via a Home assistant service : image

Do you think this would be easy to adapt the current project to use a service instead of a serial connection ?

Could you maybe go into a bit of detail regarding your setup please?

I'm very interested in bringing my TK700Sti into HA. I would only really need Power On / Off commands as it will be tied in with other things and I don't really care about the other settings but if I could get Power status that would be amazing!

I just released a major update to the integration: network support. Still very much in beta since I don't own a networked projector. Let me know if it works for you.

Hi! Since I didn't hear anything back on this issue I'm closing the issue
