Your TV does not seem to respond to the pairing request for some reason. Try unplugging the TV and plugging it back in, this sometimes helps with the API issues.

Also, does the mobile Philips remote app work for you?

[domcross]

I did not install the Philipps remote app, but will try your suggestions and report back.

Closing for now, feel free to reopen if any additional info is available.

Update the TVs Android software and successfully paired it with the iOS remote app, but the app doesn't do too much (ratings in the app store complain about missing/broken functionality with the latest app version).

After rebooting the TV now I get following:

python3 pylips.py

The other URLs do not return anything.

This worked for me. But for 2018
