Sony Bravia Authentication

[arnocl]

Is there anybody who got the IP Control function of the more recent Sony Bravia TV working? I'm able to post a HTTP request trough my phone, only after pairing the device with the TV first with the default sony app. On my PC this is a little more complicated, but after following this guide (post Jul 08, 2015) this seems to work correctly. The PC appears on my TV in the list of trusted devices, along with my phone. The POST request requires to input a pincode visualized on the screen after starting the request.

1. Install Google Chrome
2. Install Simple Rest Client (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/simple-rest-client/fhjcajmcbmldlhcimfajhfbgofnpcjmb)
3. Once Simple Rest Client is installed you should see a blue globe looking icon to the right of the URL field in Chrome. Click on that icon.
4. In the URL field of the REST Client, type in http://192.168.168.198/sony/accessControl
where you replace 192.168.168.198 with IP address of your TV.
5. Click on POST.
6. In the DATA field paste:

{"id":13,"method":"actRegister","version":"1.0","params":[{"clientid":"iRule:1","nickname":"iRule"},[{"clientid":"iRule:1","value":"yes","nickname":"iRule","function":"WOL"}]]}

7. Hit SEND. You should see a message on TV pop-up with PIN code and a Username and Password message pop-up in the Browser.
Leave Username blank and in password field put in the PIN code that is displayed on TV.

It seems the TV needs to trust the device sending requests. Is there a way to enable this with the logicmachine? Previous threads don't seem to work in my case (Sony Bravia script and Sony Simple IP Protocol).


This is the code I tried to use:

Code:

1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132

function ipControlTV(service, cmd)        require('socket')     ip = "192.168.1.135"   port = 80     host = "http://" .. ip .. "/sony/" .. service   reqs = "POST /sony/" .. service .. " HTTP/1.1 \r\n" ..             "HOST: " .. ip .. " \r\n" ..             "X-Auth-PSK: **** \r\n" ..             "Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 \r\n " ..             "\r\n" .. cmd .. "\r\n\r\n"     sock = socket.tcp()   sock:settimeout(3)   res, err = sock:connect(ip, port)   if res then     res, err = sock:send(reqs)     if res then       log(res,err)     else       log('send failed: ' .. tostring(err))     end   else     log('connect failed: ' .. tostring(err))   end   sock:close() end

And to call my code (toggle of power object):

Code:

12345678910

power = event.getvalue() command = "" if (power) then   command =  '{ \\"method\\": \\"setPowerStatus\\", \\"id\\": 55, \\"params\\": [{\\"status\\": true}], \\"version\\": \\"1.0\\" }' else   command = '{ \\"method\\": \\"setPowerStatus\\", \\"id\\": 55, \\"params\\": [{\\"status\\": false}], \\"version\\": \\"1.0\\" }' end ipControlTV("system", command)

I keep getting the following error:

Code:

1234

* arg: 1   * string: JSON Format Error * arg: 2   * number: 400

[admin]

Just remove all \\ from command strings.
More correct approach is to encode data via JSON:

Code:

12345678910111213

require('json') power = event.getvalue() command = json.encode({   method = 'setPowerStatus',   id = 55,   version = '1.0',   params = {     { status = power }   } }) ipControlTV("system", command)

Hi, 

Why do you try Http post command to a tcp socket??

Try this, i have it working on Sony 2019 tv with no auth required as such (apart from the Xauth-psk as defined in the tv settings) also the protocol is well documented here
https://pro-bravia.sony.net/develop/inte...index.html
i just started learning lua so im sure there are some improvements to make to this script.

Change ip adress below to match tv and update ["X-Auth-PSK"] = "123456789", with your pre shared key from the tv

Code:

123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536373839404142434445464748495051525354555657585960616263

Thanks @benanderson_475 for pointing me in the right direction! Everything is working as it should, guess I got a little mixed up. The guide is indeed self explanatory.

[arnocl]

I cleaned up your code a little to be tailored more to my needs. Also included a status object checker, convenient to get a feedback of the actual settings of the TV. 

   

Common Functions:

Code:

123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627

function ipControlSonyTV(service, command)    local http = require("socket.http")   local ltn12 = require("ltn12")   require("json")   local ip = "192.168.1.135"     local response_body = { }   local res, code, response_headers, status = http.request   {     url = "http://" .. ip .. "/sony/" .. service,     method = "POST",     headers =     {       ["HOST"] = ip,       ["Accept"] = "*/*",       ["Content-Type"] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",       ["X-Auth-PSK"] = "************",       ["Content-Length"] = command:len()     },     source = ltn12.source.string(command),            sink = ltn12.sink.table(response_body)   }     response = json.decode(response_body[1])   return response["result"][1] end

Resident Script (every 2 seconds or as much as needed):

Code:

123456789101112131415161718192021222324

command = [[ {"method": "getPowerStatus","id": 50,"params": [],"version": "1.0"} ]] powerStatus = ipControlSonyTV("system", command) powerStatus = powerStatus["status"] if (powerStatus == "active") then   grp.checkwrite('5/0/2', 1, 1) elseif (powerStatus == "standby") then   grp.checkwrite('5/0/2', 0, 1) end if (powerStatus == "active") then   command = [[ {"method": "getVolumeInformation", "id": 33, "params": [], "version": "1.0"} ]]   volumeInfo = ipControlSonyTV("audio", command)   volumeStatus = volumeInfo[1]["volume"]   muteStatus = volumeInfo[1]["mute"]   grp.checkwrite('5/0/5', volumeStatus, 1)   grp.checkwrite('5/0/7', muteStatus, 1)     command = [[ {"method": "getPlayingContentInfo","id": 103,"params": [],"version": "1.0"} ]]   sourceStatus = ipControlSonyTV("avContent", command)   sourceStatus = sourceStatus["uri"]   sourceStatus = tonumber(string.sub(sourceStatus, -1))   grp.checkwrite('5/0/9', sourceStatus, 1) end

Every control object has it's own event script
Power:

Code:

123456789

power = event.getvalue() if (power) then   command = [[ {"method": "setPowerStatus","id": 55,"params": [{"status": true}],"version": "1.0"} ]] else   command = [[ {"method": "setPowerStatus","id": 55,"params": [{"status": false}],"version": "1.0"} ]] end ipControlSonyTV("system", command)

Volume Step:

Code:

123456789

volumeDown = event.getvalue()  -- down = 1 | up = 0 if (volumeDown) then   command = [[ {"method": "setAudioVolume","id": 98,"params": [{"volume": "-1","ui": "on","target": "speaker"}],"version": "1.2"} ]] else   command = [[ {"method": "setAudioVolume","id": 98,"params": [{"volume": "+1","ui": "on","target": "speaker"}],"version": "1.2"} ]] end ipControlSonyTV("audio", command)

Volume:

Code:

12345

volume = event.getvalue() command = [[ {"method": "setAudioVolume","id": 98,"params": [{"volume": "]] .. volume .. [[","ui": "on","target": "speaker"}],"version": "1.2"} ]] ipControlSonyTV("audio", command)

Mute:

Code:

123456789

mute = event.getvalue() if (mute) then   command = [[ {"method": "setAudioMute","id": 601,"params": [{"status": true}],"version": "1.0"} ]] else   command = [[ {"method": "setAudioMute","id": 601,"params": [{"status": false}],"version": "1.0"} ]] end ipControlSonyTV("audio", command)

Source Select:

Code:

1234567891011

source = event.getvalue() power = grp.getvalue('5/0/2') if (not power) then   grp.write('5/0/1', 1)   os.sleep(1) end command = [[ {"method": "setPlayContent","id": 101,"params": [{"uri": "extInput:hdmi?port=]] .. source .. [["}],"version": "1.0"} ]] ipControlSonyTV("avContent", command)
