A python tool to control Philips Android TVs (2016+) and Ambilight (+ Hue)

by gyrga

Hey guys, I've created a small tool to control Philips Android TVs through their reverse-engineered API. I hope it's OK to share it here.

You can find an unofficial API reference and the tool (both are ‘work-in-progress’) here: https://github.com/eslavnov/Pylips (comments are welcome!)

It’s far from being done but it already allows to do a lot of cool stuff like turning 'Ambilight + Hue' on and off:

python pylips.py --host %ip_address% --user %username% --pass %password% --command ambihue_on

python pylips.py --host %ip_address% --user %username% --pass %password% --command ambihue_off

If this works for you, please share your TV model! Thank you in advance!

What a wonderful project! I have been scratching my head trying to figure out the JointSpace API for a long time to control the Ambilight + HUE integration.

I can't wait to try this out at home. Great job!

Cool stuff. You should integrate it in Home Assistant

Edit : nevermind, just read it's already planned
