Is there any way to control Philips Smart TV with Vera UI7? How to call this api?

If I enter in my safari browser:

http://:1925/1/audio/volume

I get this:

{
“muted”: false,
“current”: 14,
“min”: 0,
“max”: 60
}

If i enter this:

http://:1925/1/sources

I get this:

{
“tv”: {
“name”: “Watch TV”
},
“satellite”: {
“name”: “Watch Satellite”
},
“hdmi1”: {
“name”: “HDMI 1”
},
“hdmi2”: {
“name”: “HDMI 2”
},
“hdmi3”: {
“name”: “HDMI 3”
},
“hdmiside”: {
“name”: “HDMI Side”
},
“ext1”: {
“name”: “CVI”
},
“ext2”: {
“name”: “AVI”
},
“ypbpr”: {
“name”: “YPbPr”
},
“vga”: {
“name”: “VGA”
}
}

I need just basic commands to integrate in UI7. Just To turn ON/OFF my TV, Volume Up/Down/Mute and Select Source (hdmi1, hdmi2, hdmi3, tv, network, usb…)

I have a phillips tv and I tried to do the same thing you are and had no luck. I ended up getting the harmony hub and it functions exactly like to explained. I have it integrated in scenes as well. I am very happy with it, maybe something you could consider?

Can you tell me more about harmony hub, how you setup with your tv?

But in this case you have another hardware near your tv.

Philips MyRemote software works great on my IOS devices. Can anybody write some plug-in for UI7 to control Philips Smart TV?

I use the Vera plugin and it shows each component as its own device and then you can go in and customize the buttons that you see. I have a scene called Watch Movie - Lights dim, TV Back-light turns on, TV power on, receiver power on, change input on receiver, and power on fire TV. It is awesome.
