v3.0.0

  • replaced python mqtt script with mqtt.js for better responsiveness
  • added displaying apps functionality
  • added always on tv functionality

What's Changed

This release has braking changes.
Please read through the plugins documentation and update your configuration accordingly.

Config Changes

  • ifname is now macaddress and should be the mac address of the homebridge server
  • changes in devices
    • showApps (default: false) - show apps as input sources
    • apps (default: []) - list of apps to show as input sources
      • if none are provided, all apps are shown
    • tvType for always on tvs added
      • default normal tv
      • fakeSleep tv with always on where fakeSleep property is used
      • pictureSettings tv with always on where sleep needs to be detected through the tvs picture settings
    • if tvType is pictureSettings the following properties are required
      • menuId - the picture setting to check for sleep
      • menuFlag - the value of the picture settings to check for sleep
    • Advanced Settings section:
      • pollingInterval (default: 4) - seconds to wait between polling the tv for the on/off state
        • if you have a tv that is always on, polling is disabled and changing this doesn't do anything
      • wolInterval (default: 400) - milliseconds to wait between sending WoL packets
      • wolRetries (default: 3) - number of times to send WoL packets to account for packet loss

Changed

  • Instead of using the ifname to get the macaddress, users should now enter there macaddress directly
  • Plugin now connects to mqtt directly while tv is online
    • Connection will stay open as long as possible
    • Input Source is now updated in real time
    • Changing source with the home app works now most of the time
  • WoL packets are now sent multiple times in the background
    • I noticed that the tv sometimes doesn't wake up on the first packet as the packet got lost or the network interface of the tv has some issues
  • Removed telnet dependency as it wasn't used anymore

Added

  • Support for showing apps as Input Sources
    • showApps and apps config options
  • Added support for always on tvs
    • see tvType and the menuId and menuFlag properties
  • Added hisense-tv-authorize and hisense-tv-always-on-test scripts to help with the setup
  • Added additional config properties
    • pollingInterval
    • wolInterval
    • wolRetries
