Would you consider doing a custom integration for the AWOL Vision LTV-2500, 3000, or 3500 ultra short throw projectors? What info would you need from me to review and advise, this is one of the last IR devices in my setup. Thanks for considering.

Have you tried the Android TV integration?

I would try BlueTooth or ADB. Manufacturer wrote Android 9 as OS.

Thank you for the suggestion, I did try and was not successful, tried the support recommendations to try and overcome with no success. There is mixed info on the web about this company and support for Android TV, it may be limited and not the fill version that is why it will not work with the suggested integration. I am not a developer but copied the logs from UC and shared here in case this means anything to anyone, I assigned a static IP also.

Thanks you for your recommendation. Hoping MaSe1981 will still consider developing a custom specific integration.

Thanks for the suggestion HarmonyFan but I am nota developer and quick look up of the ADB, not sure I could navigate and make that work base don my limited expertise in this area. Thanks

Did you try Bluetooth?

I did nut it will not stay connected, tried the developer feature in UC settings which worked until the AWOL projector was toggled off in the activity and then it would not wake. Will use IR until an integration is available. Thanks for the suggestion.

It probably needs Wake on LAN to power on. You can use this integration for Wake on LAN: GitHub - kennymc-c/ucr2-integration-requests: A network multi tool integration for Unfolded Circle remote devices

Thanks, I will try the suggestion but will use HA for the WOL request as I have figured this out for my Arcade PC and will duplicate it for the AWOL projector, I did try your integration but was not clear on the configuration entry that was expected to make it work, and I did read the Github readme usage for this. Appreciate the help for me to try and resolve this.

Lyrion Music Server (Sqeezebox) integration is complete:

I have a lot of stuff working through HA using the ADB python integration. While it’s great, Google has locked down some things. Probably the biggest is each Android device has custom codes. Generic ones like “DOWN’ work also but not nearly as fast. Also Google has said they are trying to get rid of ADB which is probably part of their plans to make Android closed sourced going forward so it’s something that will just break eventually which sucks because you can do some really neat stuff like reboot a device or immediately open any app then do specific things inside that app by having a slight delay between commands. You can inspect APK files to get specific app ADB commands. You can still learn codes custom codes, they just don’t work without a rooted device which is a shame because it was super fast…. In dev tools, actions, choose learnsendevent, choose entity, press perform action and press a button on your remote and it spits the code out as a notification, but no longer work unless the device is rooted. Below is the code for the home button on my Sony Android TV. Seems like having the generic codes not work and only custom ones working would be way more secure.

Would love to see a Schiit Forkbeard integration but considering that it only works on iOS right now makes me think this would be difficult. It’s a 50 dollar add on that sends and receives data via Bluetooth. Probably 5 dollars worth of hardware but development costs add up. I think it’s just an ESP32 with a UART connection but I don’t know anything about trying to capture Bluetooth commands. It’s essentially a middle man for controlling devices or getting info from audio hear with no remote.

Need testers for MADVR, please DM me. @Peter ?

@M.a.S.e @Peter @kennymc.c I own a MadVR Envy too - the low end Core version. It is a video processort similar to a lumagen. Would love to be able to have IP control over it as the IR control isnt very good.

Am not a progammer but can definitely help test if provided with instruction :smiley:

@M.a.S.e I DMd you. I own a MadVR Envy Core.

I know there is an existing Philips HUE light integration already but it annoyingly won’t import programmed light scenes nor non-HUE devices despite such devices being linked in the native HUE app (as HUE is Zigbee compatible). Is something that would interest you?

For this, its best to reach out to the developer of the Hue, creating another one just for that seem a duplication.
