homebridge-mitv

homebridge-mitv is a plugin for Homebridge which allows you to control your Mi TV. Tested working for Mi TV 4A (小米电视4A)

• Remote control

Installation

Install homebridge:

npm install -g homebridge

Install homebridge-mitv:

npm install -g homebridge-mitv

Configuration

Add MiTVPlatform to your config.json in your home directory inside .homebridge.

Single TV Example:

{
    "platforms": [{
        "platform": "MiTVPlatform",
        "tv": {
            "ip": "192.168.1.2",
            "name": "Mi TV"
        }
    }]
}

Multiple TVs Example:

{
    "platforms": [{
        "platform": "MiTVPlatform",
        "tvs": [{
            "ip": "192.168.1.2",
            "name": "Bedroom TV"
        }, {
            "ip": "192.168.1.3",
            "name": "Living Room TV"
        }]
    }]
}

Known Issues

1. This plugin cannot detect whether the TV is sleep or not, so the status cannot be synchronized between HomeKit and TV.
2. When the remote key is pressed, HomeKit sends a "activate" command which makes homebridge-mitv send a power keystroke request. I haven't found a workaround yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
