I had previously been using a script to turn my TV off but native support & the extra functions are really appreciated. Clearly many Vieras don't have wake on LAN but there is a way that this can be achieved for some of us if someone is clever enough to be able to code things.
My TV has a Sky HD box connected via HDMI & if the Sky box is turned on it will send the wake command to the TV (& connected soundbar) hence a great substitute for wake on LAN The problem is that Sky are terrible about letting people into the secrets of controlling their equipment over IP. There was a discussion here http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic ... +hd#p62783 a few months ago but Lee gave up & I never managed to get the script mentioned running on my pi.
Someone with a bit more knowledge could hopefully do something similar to the Panasonic thing & get some native support sorted out in Domoticz. In the UK there are literally millions of Sky boxes so support could enable many people to turn their TVs on remotely even if there is no IP control.

Sorry am not clever enough to code things, the 1700 lines of code for the Panasonic support was written by fairies and they told me it was really easy.

And how many of the millions of sky users will actually be using Domoticz in their home? What does this have to do with the price of cheese? I don't have a sky box so I have no interest in writing support for it.
Thanks for making me feel insulted for not completely doing everything for you.

I've checked the Sky API, and in actual fact my Panasonic code would work quite well and there isn't a lot to change, all you need to do is alter the commands sent, and the functions BuildXMLStringNetCtl and BuildXMLStringRendCtl that build the xml data to be sent, then alter the UI and all the usual domoticz stuff to create the plugin and you're good to go.

My reply was in no way meant to insult you. I should have added my thoughts regarding Sky to a different thread as it wasn't directly related to the Panasonic development, I just thought that there could be interest from others as many TVs lack WOL functionality & IP controllable set top boxes are a different way to achieve this. I wasn't meaning that you should have done it or indeed even looked at it but your subsequent comments about similarities are interesting.
The code to fully integrate with Domoticz is beyond my level of expertise I'm afraid - I may have another go in a month or so when I have some spare time but my last efforts did not end well & I chose to keep my various scripts running on timers instead.
Thanks but I couldn't even get the Sky control from https://github.com/dalhundal/sky-plus-hd working as I couldn't get node.js to install properly on my pi despite hours of trying
Lee had some help & got so far but it was never finished & would have required a separate daemon to constantly run anyway. He dumped it here https://drive.google.com/folderview?id= ... sp=sharing). I believe that previously he had a basic python script that he managed to get some functionality out of but had been advised to go down the route of using dalhundal's work.
My attempt at full integration with Domoticz was to link things up to my alarm system but I realised that the python scripts I had written to do proof of concept were actually far easier hence me sticking with them.
It seems that the remote control will not display.
Nothing happens when I click on the remote icon. I'm running Domoticz build 2.4426 on debian jessie.

Which browser are you using?
I just noticed this evening that in Chrome it's not working but does on Firefox...
Hello
I have a TX-48AX630B that I can control with curl etc and I can use your plugin to get it to switch off but all the other functions do not work.
Is there any trouble shooting I can do ?
i get this in the log on an Off command, but nothing else on any button press.
