The `vizio` component will allow you to control [SmartCast](https://www.vizio.com/smartcast-app) compatible TVs (2016+ models).
|
||||
|
||||
## Pairing
|
||||
|
||||
Before adding TV to Home Assistant you'll need to pair it manually, to do so follow these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
Install the command-line tool using pip (you can choose to download it manually):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ pip3 install git+https://github.com/vkorn/pyvizio.git@master
|
||||
$ pip3 install -I .
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure that your TV is on, as sometimes it won't show PIN code if it wasn't on during pairing initialization.
|
||||
If you don't know IP address of your TV run following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ pyvizio --ip=0 --auth=0 discover
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Initiate pairing:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ pyvizio --ip={ip} pair
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Initiation will show you two different values:
|
||||
|
||||
| Value | Description |
|
||||
|:----------------|:---------------------|
|
||||
| Challenge type | Usually it's should be `"1"`, if it's not the case for you, use additional parameter `--ch_type=your_type` in the next step |
|
||||
| Challenge token | Token required to finalize pairing in the next step |
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, at this point PIN code should be displayed at the top of your TV. With all these values, you can now finish pairing:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ pyvizio --ip={ip} pair_finish --token={challenge_token} --pin={tv_pin}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You will need authentication token returned by this command to configure Home Assistant.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
To add your Vizio TV to your installation, add following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
||||
media_player:
|
||||
- platform: vizio
|
||||
host: IP_ADDRESS
|
||||
access_token: AUTH_TOKEN
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration variables:
|
||||
|
||||
- **host** (*Required*): IP address of your TV.
|
||||
- **access_token** (*Required*): Authentication token you've received in last step of the pairing process.
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes and limitations
|
||||
|
||||
### Turning TV on
|
||||
|
||||
If you do have `Power Mode` of your TV configured to be `Eco Mode`, turning device ON won't work.
|
||||
|
||||
### Changing tracks
|
||||
|
||||
Changing tracks works like channels switching. If you have source other than regular TV it might end do nothing.
|
||||
|
||||
### Sources
|
||||
|
||||
Source list shows all external devices connected to the TV through HDMI plus list of internal devices (TV mode, Chrome Cast, etc.).
|
||||
|
||||
<p class='note'>
|
||||
Vizio SmartCast service is accessible through HTTPS with self-signed certificate. It means that if you have low LOGLEVEL in your Home Assistant configuration, you'll see a lot of warnings like this `InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made. Adding certificate verification is strongly advised.`
|
||||
|
||||
As an option, you could proxy all calls for example through NGINX.
