Hello,
I'm looking into adding some basic control for my Sharp Aquos TV. This TV has provisions for basic commands via IP in a clear text raw TCP session.
Surprisingly, the commands are pretty well documented in the user manual. I setup the TV tonight and I can connect to it with a terminal program and issue the commands I want, and the TV responds as i want it to.
Now i'm just curious what is the easiest way to have HS3 make a connection and issue these commands.
I checked out drule's ip/serial connector here http://board.homeseer.com/showthread...17#post1132517 and it looks like that might be a good solution, but i'm not sure.
There is a 3 minute timeout on the connection so it would either need a keep alive or some provision to initiate the session, send command and then close session.
Is anyone doing something similar and have any advice?
Thanks!
