Hi @M.a.S.e. I have a TESmart HDMI switch, the HSW1601-E23 for which I’d like an integration if at all possible. This is a link to the Communication Protocols

Test with telnet then an entity can be created with the requesto/http integration and TextOverTCP.

Hi Ralf. Thanks for the suggestion. I did try that, and it failed. I also tried with other devices I currently have integrations for, and they too failed. Perhaps I’m doing something wrong. That said, I have an app on my computer that connects to the device via IP, which allows me to see the status of the switch and gives me access to change the inputs.
Regards,
Mike
What commands did you try? It should work according to the protocol sheet. Make sure to add raw= in front of the command.
@kennymc.c, please excuse my ignorance, but how are you suggesting that I send the command?
To test a command just use the text over tcp entity and put this in the source parameter field for the switch to PC1 command: ip-address:5000, “raw=0xAA 0xBB 0x03 0x01 0x01 0xEE” . Replace ip-address with the real ip address of the device.
If this works I can help you with creating a custom entity config to get a remote entitiy with all commands and select entities for the switch commands and led timeout setting.
Maybe let’s continue here: External community integration - http get/post/patch/put and Wake on lan
Thanks @kennymc.c. I’ll give that a go. I was able to execute the commands using python on my computer
I did as suggested ‘192.168.0.222:5000, “raw=0xAA 0xBB 0x03 0x01 0x01 0xEE”’ and it returned an error stating that the command did not reach the device.
Please post the log here: External community integration - http get/post/patch/put and Wake on lan
In the setup of the integration disable the option “wait for an answer” or similar for TextOverTCP.

Ralf, thanks for the suggestion. We did that, and in conjunction with using the correct double quotes in the command, not the Windows ones, now have it issuing the commands.
Regardss,
Mike
