So, which folder does this need to be placed in to have it load up with Domoticz?

I want to be able to create virtual switches for different commands, or selector switches for source, can this be done?

[leecollings]

And just how is this used then? How can I run the script and press the source button, followed by a number button? What URL would be used, or command line prompt?

[leecollings]

So in terminal (this is from my Mac, but I'm SSHd into my Pi), I'm in the directory the script is saved in, and I'm using the command:

Code: Select all

./toshiba.sh info

I'm expecting the TV to show the info panel, but I don't get anything. However, the terminal window does show this:

Code: Select all

pi@domoticz:~/domoticz/scripts $ ./toshiba.sh info
Toshiba Lan Remote Control V0.01
http://10.0.0.119:56789/apps/SmartCenter
Verbindung zu http://10.0.0.119:56789/apps/SmartCenter wird hergestellt

So it seems the script is running, and I'm assuming the last line is saying a connection has been made, but then there's just a blank line, as if the script is waiting for something else. What do you think I'm doing wrong?

[leecollings]

Hmm I've just thought, it could be that my TV (Techwood) although seems to be one of the brands Vestel manufacture, may not be included in this list, as it's not in the list you've posted above.

Where did you get this list of brands from?

[freakyman88]

When i try to run the commands manualy to my Hitachi television it is giving the error code: curl: (52) Empty reply from server
When trying with a different portnumber nothing happens.

Is is possible the link which the script is using is not working on all televisions from these brands?

Can you please eleborate how you came to understanding which link you should be using, so i can try to figure this out for my own Hitachi tv?

Hello. I used the android app for my tv with a packet sniffer on smartphone to locate the needed port.
It was always try and error method.

Most Information I get here

[DarkG]

I copied the script to /home/pi/domoticz/bash
Use like this

pi@raspberrypi:~/domoticz/bash $ /home/pi/domoticz/bash/toshiba.sh volup
Toshiba Lan Remote Control V0.01
http://192.168.0.111:56789/apps/SmartCenter
Verbindung zu http://192.168.0.111:56789/apps/SmartCenter wird hergestellt
