JVC Projectors Home Assistant Integration

Archived

Warning

The latest HA release removed setup functions this integration uses. I don't have the time to rewrite this integration. Please use the offical integration from now on https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/jvc_projector/

I will eventually get around to adding features to the official one.

This is a Home Assistant JVC Custom Component implementing my JVC library

Features

All the features in my JVC library including:

• Power
• Picture Modes
• Laser power and dimming
• Pretty much every JVC command
• HA Attributes for current settings like power state, picture mode, laser mode, input, etc
• and so on

Note: JVC projectors currently only support a single network connection at a time. If you're running other control systems or attempt to run the JVC AutoCal software, keep in mind you can only have one control system connected at a time.

Installation

This is a custom component.

Install HACS, then install the component by adding this as a custom repo https://hacs.xyz/docs/faq/custom_repositories

You can also just copy all the files into your custom_components folder but then you won't get automatic updates.

Home Assistant Setup

# configuration.yaml
remote:
  - platform: jvc_projectors
    name: { entity name }
    password: { password } (optional for non-NZ)
    host: { IP addr }
    new_model: false | true (true if you have NZ800/900 or newer)

The new_model flag is now required because JVC made a breaking change to how the password is encoded. Because I can't know the model before connecting, you have to tell the library to handle the password differently.

You can use the remote entity attributes in sensors, automations, etc.

Adding attributes as sensors

replace nz7 with the name of your remote entity

sensor:
  platform: template
  sensors:
    jvc_installation_mode:
        value_template: >
            {% if is_state('remote.nz7', 'on') %}
              {{ states.remote.nz7.attributes.installation_mode }}
            {% else %}
                Off
            {% endif %}

Usage

Use the remote.send_command service to send commands to the projector.

$command,$parameter example: "anamorphic,off" example: "anamorphic,d" example: "laser_dim,auto3"

It also supports using remote codes as ASCII found here (Code A only)

example: "remote,2E"
