Installation

Known Issues

• For the media_player, the current source is not known until an option is

selected. Source selection changes performed outside of Home Assistant will not be reflected.

Advanced Commands

For advanced needs, additional commands, such as menu navigation, may be sent via the developer tools, under the 'Services' tab.

select service 'hisensetv.send_command'
click 'FILL EXAMPLE DATA' at bottom
select Entity - must be HisenseTV device (media_player or switch)
update command value, as desired

Furthermore, the media_player can request an updated list of connected input sources, as physical changes will not be automatically reflected.

select service 'hisensetv.update_sources'
select Entity - must be HisenseTV device (media_player)
