HomeAssistant-PhilipsAndroid2014

Custom component for Philips TV's running Android which are built between 2014 and 2016. Written in Python3 for Home Assistant. NOTE: Credits fully go to SirGilbot which made this modification based on the original Philips HASS component. I've contacted him and am awaiting his reply. I will probably be adding features in the future.

Tested on:

• Philips 55PUS9109/12 (2014)
• Home-Assistant
  • 0.95.x

If you are experiencing issues please be sure to provide details about your device, Home Assistant version and what exactly went wrong.
