Discrete power off & on IR commands for Philips OLED & Sony Blu-Ray

General
1

Hello together,

to reliably toggle the activities I need the discrete power off & on IR commands for my Philips OLED 808 & Sony UBP-X800 Blu-Ray Player.

The “funny” thing is I got a working power on command for the Blu-Ray player and a power off command for the Philips TV but not the opposite.

I tried all possible codes from the globalcache database als well as other codes I got from different sources but didn’t get any of the missing codes working. I found a post for a discrete power on command for a Philips OLED 807 but I don’t know how to use the code: https://www.avforums.com/threads/help-me-to-find-ir-discret-code-to-power-off-philips-tv-2021.2379218/

Does anyone know how to use the code above or any other solution to get the missing “TV power on” and “Blu-Ray power off” commands working?

Thanks in advance for any help :slight_smile:

Try IRSrcutinizer (google it for the GitHub page)… That gives me this output so if it works, you can use it for any other conversions you need to do:

Off:

0000 0073 0000 000C 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0040 0020 0CA8

On:

0000 0073 0000 000D 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0CA8

Hi,
Why IR for the Philips OLED? I have the OLED806 with the Android TV Integration and there are discrete switch_on and _off. You can simply use a mixture of IP and IR because not every IR command is available with IP.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll give that tool a try.
Unfortunatelly the code posted also turns the TV off.

IP doesn’t work for power on, because the Wifi-connection gets cut off after a short time in standby. Generally IP wasn’t working reliably for me and I switched back to IR commands after a short time.

6

Which WiFI gets cut off after entering standby? Remote? This can be switch off in the activity settings by enabling prevent sleep on the left side. My Oled806 only does not react on WiFi in the first 10-15 Minutes after I switch on the power plug after that it works perfect for me.

I may have done a bad copy and paste so give the tool a try.

The Wifi of the TV.

I tried it myself but same result. All codes I have found so far only turn the TV off. I also tried the codes for switching HDMI-Inputs but they only seem to act as the “home” button.
Maybe there is something wrong with the conversion of the codes or an issue with how the codes are send by the Remote 2.

10

I learned the IR codes from my Harmony and there only HDMI1 and 4 were working.

11

Are you running Home Assistant with your R2? If you are, you should add the NodeRED integration and then this library might work for Power On and HDMI input for your Philips TV.

Hello. I want to buy Remote 3. I currently use harmony 700 and I have a problem like someone above. I have Oled 818 and I can only turn on HDMI 1 and 4. I got codes from Philips support in the form of RC5 and RC6 to turn on HDMI. Unfortunately Harmony does not support RC5 and RC6 codes. How does it look in Remote 3?

13

Harmony supports RC5 and RC6 but not for all systems. Windows MCE for instance is RC6. Problem for Harmony is that most devices are programmed with the original remote and they hardly support direct input switching.

14

I understand. Now the question is how is it with Remote 3. Is it possible to put the RC5 or RC6 secret HDMI code somewhere so that it plays it? The original remote does not have it. I need some device to which I will enter the RC5 or RC6 code and this device will convert it to IR.

15

post the codes here. I (and perhaps others) can check then. I have an 806 with Harmony codes only HDMI 1 and 4 are working.

16

Post the codes here and I might be able to convert them to standard pronto hex which can be imported into RC2/3.

17

Thanks in advance for your help. This is the file with the codes I received from Philips support. If there is a chance to convert them to pronto hex, I would be very grateful :slight_smile:
The most important thing is that there is a tab called discreet commands (RC5)

I have no way of testing these, but here’s what I get:

Power On:

0000 0073 000D 0000 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 09B7

Power Off:

0000 0073 000C 0000 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0040 0020 09B7

It’s an odd file for RC5 or 6 codes so I am guessing. The tools to use are old and on the Remote Central website (RC5 to Hex or IRSrutinizer). You may get stuck in a trial and error loop to get this to work.

It is the same as with my harmony. On seems really only on but off is a toggle. Only real discrete commands are possible with the Android TV integration.

Hello again.

While waiting for my new unfolded 3 to arrive I am still struggling with my philips oled 818 tv and switching to HDMI 2. Unfortunately I was unable to set it via hex on my logitech harmony 700.

I have read some information that this problem can be bypassed via IP protocol and using google assistant to enable the appropriate HDMI. I do not know how up to date this is though?

I have found these topics

Has anyone ever done something like this?
Can someone tell me how to execute these commands? I tried to get to the TV by IP address via putty but it doesn’t work.
