What people report

Philips Android TVs work over the local API, but some models refuse the pairing connection or have closed API ports.

Philips PUS7304 series TV	Partly works Local	Workaround for connectivity drops: reports unknown instead of off Saved copy Fixes #32 I've found a workaround for this models that have sometimes some connectivity issues. In this case when a tv lacks connections it sets the status to unknown instead of off so any automation about this status can be set specifically when the status changes to on from off and discarding connection drops. May be also helpful for other models where the network is not stable. Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23.	PR #38 · 2020-05
