Hello friends,

I am developing my small project, but i need help please.

I have android tv Phillips 55PUS6561 and thinking how to control the tv from my raspbbery.

The tv setup is:

Source 1 = Common TV programs like sport,news etc.. basic programs from DVBT2 antenna.
Source HDMI2 = Xbox one X
Source HDMI3 = Apple tv

I can start the tv with siri, when i got the apple tv environment, but i am not able to switching between other sources or switch the tv off.
I am googling few days how to do it, but without luck.


I have two questions:

Is a way how can i controll this tv Phillips 55PUS6561 ( cannot find the technical specification for JSON related to this TV model) from SIRI? with homekit integration? I can see homebridge plugin for raspberry but control the source and programs methods arent available.
Can i changing the tv programs by siri?


I am ok with openhab,homebridge,domoticz or something similar.
Is a way to do it without Harmony hub or something like that, only with RB PI?
Maybe IR blister?
Thanks a lot

Maybe easier using HDMI-CEC using an adaptor from Pulse Eight.
