Library to control Panasonic Viera TVs
Project description
panasonic-viera
UPDATE (2019-03-28)
Pincode and encryption support has been added for newer TV models circa 2019. For example, the "FZ" Panasonic models. These new models require pincode authentication and communication is now encapsulated in AES-CBC-128 encryption with HMAC-SHA-256. See issue https://github.com/florianholzapfel/panasonic-viera/issues/9
Please note that these new changes have not yet been tested thoroughly, use at your own risk.
Usage
Code
Examples
Request a pin code and get credentials
import panasonic_viera
rc = panasonic_viera.RemoteControl("<HOST>")
# Make the TV display a pairing pin code
rc.request_pin_code()
# Interactively ask the user for the pin code
pin = raw_input("Enter the displayed pin code: ")
# Authorize the pin code with the TV
rc.authorize_pin_code(pincode=pin)
# Display credentials (application ID and encryption key)
print rc.app_id
print rc.enc_key
# We can now start communicating with our TV
# Send EPG key
rc.send_key(panasonic_viera.Keys.epg)
Use saved credentials
import panasonic_viera
rc = panasonic_viera.RemoteControl("<HOST>", app_id="BSkeeKuuwakd9Q==", encryption_key="EarvNQodKYlj5zTEIhZoXQ==")
# We can now start communicating with our TV
# Send EPG key
rc.send_key(panasonic_viera.Keys.epg)
Increase Volume By 1
import panasonic_viera
rc = panasonic_viera.RemoteControl("<HOST>")
volume = rc.get_volume()
rc.set_volume(volume + 1)
Send EPG Key
import panasonic_viera
rc = panasonic_viera.RemoteControl("<HOST>")
rc.send_key(panasonic_viera.Keys.epg)
