Sonyapilib
This library controls sony devices of all generations which are supported by the TVSideView app. In contrast to other libraries like https://github.com/aparraga/braviarc this supports older generations aswell.
Code has been taken from the following repositories.
This library is used as communication interface in a home assistant component to control media players, which can be found here: https://github.com/alexmohr/media_player.sony
At the moment not all functions offered by the api are implemented. If you miss a function feel free to create a pull request or open a feature request.
Installation
To install simply run
pip install sonyapilib
This library has been tested with python 3.5 and above, functionality for older python version cannot be guaranteed.
Example
This example connections with device (of which the ip address is hard coded) start the registration process and starts the first available. More detailed examples can be found in the examples folder.
from sonyapilib.device import SonyDevice
if __name__ == "__main__":
# device must be on for registration
host = "10.0.0.102"
device = SonyDevice(host, "SonyApiLib Python Test")
device.register()
pin = input("Enter the PIN displayed at your device: ")
if not device.send_authentication(pin):
print("Failed to register device")
exit(1)
apps = device.get_apps()
device.start_app(apps[0])
device.play()
