I recently bought a Vera3 and trying to setup automation for my HT and other rooms. I was trying to the Sharp IP Control app to control my Sharp Sharp LC-60LE633U TV. I understand that this TV does have IP Control functions, but for some reason I am not able to setup the app correctly to even turn it off and on.
I have created a scene to turn off/on the TV and it seems to run, but nothing happens on the TV. Any ideas where to begun troubleshooting?
Thank you.
Looking at your user manual, it looks like your TV can only be controlled via RS-232C and does not provide IP Control functionality. This is in the Using a PC section starting on page 55. This plugin only supports IP control; however, it may work if you get some type of IP to RS-232C device because at least some of the commands look the same.
One note though is that you will have to send the command "RSPW1 ", which can be sent with the plugin with the onRS232 command, in order to enable turning the TV power on over RS-232C.

Thank you. I’ll try the RS232 route. I have thinking of buying couple of serial to IP adapters a always to control my HT stuff.

I am new to MiCasa and have a Vera3. I installed 1.2 of the Sharp AQUOS app and enabled the TV for IP control. (My tv supports it). Sharp “OFF” command works, but not the “ON” command. Any ideas?
This is because the Remote Power option is not set to IP. In the Advanced tab of a scene, Select the TV and then the RemotePower OnIP command and run the scene. It should be good from there on out.

Worked like a charm. Thanks very much. Sharp AQUOS now turns itself off.

Glad it worked out for you!

Has anyone tried this with UI6 and can confirm whether it works or not?
Hi,
Sorry to canibalise this threat but I was wondering how you where planning to send rs232 commands trough a IP2serial device?
I have a tv and receiver controlled by rs232 with a GC100-12 but I have not manage to control it by the vera yet.
Thanks
Hi, this plugin is IP only, no RS-232 or IR involved. Go to Apps >> Develop Apps >> Serial port configuration and configure the one that has your device attached to it. Then it is just a matter of sending the commands. The implementation file contains these commands and you can send these in the Advanced section in a scene. The service files define the options that are shown in the Advanced section. You can look into plugin development if you want to make one that doesn’t already exist, or just download the Luup files from your vera for another plugin that already uses IP2RS-232.

OtisPresley,
Thanks for your help, but i installed the GC100 plugin, configured the serial port but wheni go to Advanced in a scene i can not select/sent actions with the rs232 only IR and relay.
Do you know a plugin that uses RS232? i looked but did not find one.
And when you say to configure in Serial port config, i have to create a device (in my case a receiver) and assign the serial port to it right? then create a scene but i get an error message!?!?
see screenshots
@Jpcolin, I have never actually configured a serial port or device with a serial port. I do not use RS-232 myself and so would not be the best person to ask. I would recommend starting a new topic in the AV Control forum and see if someone with more knowledge of it can help.
[quote=“OtisPreslsy, post:16, topic:175344”]Thanks guessed!
I went ahead and modified the existing plugin to incorporate a volume slider both on the main control pad and on the Control tab, and a mute button on the Control tab. The only problem is that the slider has 10 clicks and I coded the minimum value as 10 and the maximum value as 60. Rather than jumping 5 at a time, it jumps 10 at a time, so only the first 6 positions do anything. Later, I may make the values 0 to 10 and then do some math in the implementation file to start a volume 10 and move it 5 at a time, making the max 60.
Anyway, I have tested it to verify that it does work and have requested approval to publish version 1.2 of the plugin. Are there any requests for other features, like more buttons on the Control tab?[/quote]
Would it be possible to add in input button on the next version? I’m not sure how this would work with selecting which input. Maybe a picker? I don’t know code at all it’s just a thought.
Also, when creating a scene I can’t select “on” from the device. It shows it at first but then when I return to the scene the device is grayed out again I have to do it from the advanced tab. Is this normal?
Thank you for the plug in by the way!

I am sure it is possible to add an input picker. It is just a matter of how many buttons you want on the control pad. I will look into it when I have time.
When in a scene, grayed out (gray stripes) does not mean unavailable. It should be seen as normal when you click one of the buttons on it. The red circle with the line through it does mean that you cannot use it in a scene though. I am on UI5 and can select the buttons on my TV just fine.

Thank you, what I meant to say is that when I create a scene I must turn it on via Advance Tab. If I select “On” on the device, confirm changes, save, and then go back to the scene the TV is still grayed out. The “On” command via the TV device did not stick.
If I select “On” from the Advance tab (DescretePower1: ON) then it works fine.
I just wasn’t sure if this is normal with the plug-in. It works fine this way so it’s no issue for me.
