Panasonic TV Support

[barrymossel]

It seems that when I turn off the TV by remote and later turn it on after a longer (?) time, Domoticz doesn't seem to register TV being turned on. A reboot of Domoticz makes it discover the TV again. Any idea why?

Hello,
my old panasonic TV worked well for a few years (3.5) but sadly died recently, panasonic replaced it with a new one (49FX750B) which unfortunately no longer responds to the plugin or curl.
i reinstalled the panasonic tv 2 app from play store and it needed to be paired to the TV with a pin so i suspect there is now some kind of authorisation happening before control is allowed, are there any workarounds or plans to implement something ?

I couldn't find anything concerning source code of the Panasonic TV plugin - so I'm posting this here. The plugin is great and works like a charm with my 50CX680 - there's only one little pickle I'm having with the plugin: it's hogging the log view. I've set the plugin to a poll interval of 60 seconds - and yet ... I get twelve logs every minute. I'd love to be wrong and overlooking something - but it seems like the polling action ignores the set interval.

This is why 2018 TV's don't work anymore

In regards to your query, I would like to inform you that our TV's only support Crestron and Control4 for IP commands, as JSON is not a supported feature.

it's hogging the log view. I've set the plugin to a poll interval of 60 seconds - and yet ... I get twelve logs every minute.

I have exactly the same problem. Log is flooding by this plugin every 5 seconds, no matter what is polling interval:

Does anyone know how to solve the problem of this Plug, even my Log is flooding by this plugin every 5 seconds.
Are there any solutions ??

[grecof973]

I still ask for help with this proplema, has anyone managed to solve the problem that the Registry is flooded with this Panasonic Plug-In ???

[RedEarth]

This is still a problem, I'd like to enable this plugin and use it, but the flooding of the logs with this 'Connected to...' entry is a real nuisance so I've had to disable the plugin.

I think a change was done several years ago to tidy up the logging on various plugins (maybe when the standard logging options on the hardware page changed?) to make it always log when it has successfully established a connection (e.g. when the TV is first switched on), however it looks like the way this plugin works is by polling the connection every x seconds to read the volume value etc. so if this is the case then I don't think it's necessary log this connection being established on every poll?
