MQTT interface to Hisense televisions.
Project description
A work-in-progress python API for Hisense televisions based off of mqtt-hisensetv.
Installation
Linux
sudo -H python3.8 -m pip install hisensetv
Windows
py -3.8 -m pip install hisensetv
Usage
hisensetv --help usage: hisensetv.py [-h] [--authorize] [--get {sources,volume}] [--key {back,down,exit,left,menu,power,right,up}] [-v] hostname Hisense TV control. positional arguments: hostname Hostname or IP for the TV. optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --authorize Authorize this API to access the TV. --get {sources,volume} Gets a value from the TV. --key {back,down,exit,left,menu,power,right,up} Sends a keypress to the TV. -v, --verbose Logging verbosity.
One Time Setup
hisensetv 10.0.0.128 --authorize Please enter the 4-digit code: 7815
Keypresses
hisensetv 10.0.0.28 --key up [2020-02-29 13:48:52,064] [INFO ] sending keypress: up
Gets
hisensetv 10.0.0.28 --get volume [2020-02-29 13:49:00,800] [INFO ] volume: { "volume_type": 0, "volume_value": 1 }
Limitations
Concurrency
Multiple instances of this class will conflict with one-another.
Not thread-safe.
This API really should be asyncio in 2020, but asyncio is not yet part of the paho mqtt library (see 445).
Reliability
Tested only with a single TV.
The concurrency issues contribute to reliability issues in general.
Unit tests do not exist yet.
Security
The self-signed certificates from the TV are completely bypassed.
Requirements
Python 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8 are supported.
