Integration for Unfolded Circle Remote Two to control Sony projectors that support the SDCP/PJTalk protocol.
Using uc-integration-api and a modified and extended version of pySDCP that is included in this repository.
- Turn On/Off/Toggle
- Mute/Unmute/Toggle
- Used for picture muting
- Cursor Up/Down/Left/Right/Enter
- The back command is also mapped to cursor left as there is no separate back command for the projector. Inside the setup menu cursor left has the same function as a typical back command.
- Home
- Opens the setup menu. Used instead of the menu feature because of the hard mapped home button when opening the entity from a profile page
- Source Select
- HDMI 1, HDMI 2
- Simple Commands
- Calibration Presets*
- Cinema Film 1, Cinema Film 2, Reference, TV, Photo, Game, Bright Cinema, Bright TV, User
- Aspect Ratios*
- Normal, Stretch**, V Stretch, Ratio Squeeze, Zoom 1:85, Zoom 2:35
- Motionfow*
- Off, Smoth High, Smoth Low, Impulse***, Combination***, True Cinema
- HDR*
- On, Off, Auto
- 2D/3D Display Select**
- 2D, 3D, Auto
- 3D Format**
- Simulated 3D, Side-by-Side, Over-Under
- Lamp Control*
- High, Low
- Input Lag Reduction*
- On, Off
- Menu Position
- Bottom Left, Center
- Lens Control
- Lens Shift Up/Down/Left/Right
- Lens Focus Far/Near
- Lens Zoom Large/Small
- Calibration Presets*
* Only works if a video signal is present at the input
** May not work work with all video signals. Please refer to Sony's user manual
*** May not work on certain projector models that do not support this mode/feature. Please refer to Sony's user manual
If a command can't be processed or applied by the projector this will result in a bad request error on the remote. The response error message from the projector is shown in the integration log
- State (On, Off, Unknown)
- Muted (True, False)
- Source
- Source List (HDMI 1, HDMI 2)
By default the integration checks the status of all attributes every 20 seconds. The interval can be changed in config.py. Set it to 0 to deactivate this function.
- Picture position and advanced iris commands (needs testers as I only own a VPL-VW-270 that doesn't support lens memory and iris control)
- Additional sensor entity to show the lamp time
- Additional remote entity to automatically map all commands to buttons and the ui grid
Planned improvements are labeled with #TODO in the code
According to pySDCP and/or personal testing.
- VPL-HW65ES
- VPL-VW100
- VPL-VW260
- VPL-VW270
- VPL-VW285
- VPL-VW315
- VPL-VW320
- VPL-VW328
- VPL-VW365
- VPL-VW515
- VPL-VW520
- VPL-VW528
- VPL-VW665
Please inform me if you have a projector that is not on this list and it works with pySDCP or this integration
Open the projectors web interface and go to Setup/Advanced Menu (left menu)/PJTalk, activate the Start PJ Talk Service checkbox and click on Apply.
During the initial setup the integration tries to query data from the projector via the SDAP advertisement protocol to generate a unique entity id. The default SDAP interval is 30 seconds. You can shorten the interval to a minimum value of 10 seconds under Setup/Advanced Menu/Advertisement/Interval.
- UCR2 firmware 1.7.4 or newer to support simple commands
- Python 3.11
- Install Libraries:
(using a virtual environment is highly recommended)
pip3 install -r requirements.txtpython3 intg-sonysdcp/driver.pyFor the mDNS advertisement to work correctly it's advised to start the integration in the host network (--net=host). You can also set the websocket listening port with the environment variable UC_INTEGRATION_HTTP_PORT, set the listening interface with UC_INTEGRATION_INTERFACE or change the default debug log level with UC_LOG_LEVEL. See available environment variables
in the Python integration library.
All data is mounted to /usr/src/app:
docker run --net=host -n 'ucr2-integration-sonysdcp' -v './ucr2-integration-sonySDCP':'/usr/src/app/':'rw' 'python:3.11' /usr/src/app/docker-entry.shNote: Uploading custom integrations to the remote is not yet supported with the current firmware. The status can be tracked in this issue: #79
Unfolded Circle recommends to create a single binary file that has everything in it as python on embedded systems is a nightmare.
To do that, we need to compile it on the target architecture as pyinstaller does not support cross compilation.
On x86-64 Linux we need Qemu to emulate the aarch64 target platform:
sudo apt install qemu binfmt-support qemu-user-static
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static --reset -p yesRun pyinstaller:
docker run --rm --name builder \
--platform=aarch64 \
--user=$(id -u):$(id -g) \
-v "$PWD":/workspace \
docker.io/unfoldedcircle/r2-pyinstaller:3.11.6 \
bash -c \
"python -m pip install -r requirements.txt && \
pyinstaller --clean --onefile --name intg-sonysdcp intg-sonysdcp/driver.py"On an aarch64 host platform, the build image can be run directly (and much faster):
docker run --rm --name builder \
--user=$(id -u):$(id -g) \
-v "$PWD":/workspace \
docker.io/unfoldedcircle/r2-pyinstaller:3.11.6 \
bash -c \
"python -m pip install -r requirements.txt && \
pyinstaller --clean --onefile --name intg-sonysdcp intg-sonysdcp/driver.py"I use SemVer for versioning. For the versions available, see the tags and releases in this repository.
