Hisense TV Integration for Home Assistant

Integration of a Hisense TV as media player into Home Assistant. The communication is handled via the integrated MQTT broker and wake-on-LAN. Requires Home Assistant >= 2021.12.x.

Current features:

• Turn on / off

Setup in Home Assistant

1. Download and install the integration via HACS.
2. Restart Home Assistant.
3. Add the client certificate to your Home Assistant config folder.
4. Go to Settings -> Devices & Services -> Add Integration. Search for Hisense TV and add the integration.

Note

During the first setup your TV should be turned on. The integration requires a PIN code from you TV. The PIN will be triggered automatically during setup. This is a onetime step where the client HomeAssistant is requesting access to remote control the TV.

Compatibility

Tested on a Hisense 65U8KQ with firmware version V0000.09.09O.P0930. Calling http://ip:18400/MediaServer/rendererdevicedesc.xml shows transport_protocol=3290.

This repository is a fork of @nikagl's ha_hisense_tv which in turn is also a fork of the original @sehaas ha_hisense_tv. My own contribution boils down to replacing a password salt. So all props to them!
