Hisense 85U8K RS-232 / IP control commands

Summary

Hisense Prosumer TV (model 85U8K) supports both RS-232 ASCII command/query protocol and discrete IR remote control. RS-232 commands carry a per-TV MAC-suffix client ID (or ALL broadcast), fixed-length ASCII fields, an 8-bit checksum, and 0x0D termination. Source also documents Pronto CCF / hex IR codes for the same buttons.

Transport

protocols:
  - serial
serial:
  baud_rate: 9600
  data_bits: 8
  parity: none
  stop_bits: 1
  flow_control: none
auth:
  type: none  # inferred: no auth procedure in source

Traits

- powerable     # inferred from POWR / PWRE / BTTN1012 power commands
- queryable     # inferred from numerous ???? query commands returning values
- routable      # inferred from INPT input-source selection commands
- levelable     # inferred from BRIT / CONT / VOLM / BKLV range commands

Actions

# Wire framing (from source, "Basic Format for Control"):
#   Set:    S{CLIENT_ID 3B}{COMMAND 4B}{DATA 4B}{CHECKSUM 1B}{0x0D}
#   Query:  Q{CLIENT_ID 3B}{COMMAND 4B}????{CHECKSUM 1B}{0x0D}
# CLIENT_ID: last 3 bytes of TV Ethernet MAC (hex ASCII), or "ALL" broadcast.
# CHECKSUM: 8-bit sum of all preceding bytes (incl. checksum byte) equals 0x00.
# The `command:` field below holds the 8-byte ASCII mnemonic+data field verbatim
# from the vendor's "Command" column. Implementations must wrap with the
# framing above per source. See Notes for examples.

Events

# UNRESOLVED: source does not describe unsolicited event notifications from
# the TV; all returns appear to be solicited ACK responses to Set/Query.

Macros

# UNRESOLVED: source does not describe multi-step macros.
# (One semi-macro is documented in prose: enable RS-232 remote power-on by
# sending PWRE0001, THEN sending POWR0001 to actually power on from standby.
# Not formalized here because source does not present it as a structured macro.)

Safety

confirmation_required_for:
  - factory_reset       # source labels RSET9999 as "Restore Factory Settings" - destructive
interlocks: []
# UNRESOLVED: source contains no electrical, thermal, or installation safety
# warnings beyond a note that RS-232 power-on in standby requires both
# Custom-Install "Power On Command = Enable" AND command PWRE0001 to be sent
# beforehand.

Notes

Custom Install setup (from source). Before RS-232 control works, the operator must enter the Quick Settings menu and type the unlock sequence 7 3 1 0 to expose the Custom Install menu, then set Custom Installation: Enable. To allow power-on from standby over RS-232, also set Power On Command: Enable in the same menu (this is the persistent equivalent of sending PWRE0001).

Wire-format details (from source). All RS-232 commands use fixed-length ASCII fields wrapped as:

S{CLIENT_ID 3B}{COMMAND 4B}{DATA 4B}{CHECKSUM 1B}{0x0D}      (Set)
Q{CLIENT_ID 3B}{COMMAND 4B}????{CHECKSUM 1B}{0x0D}           (Query)

CLIENT_ID is the last 3 hex digits of the TV's Ethernet MAC, or ALL (broadcast to every TV on the bus). For a TV with MAC suffix 465, "set power on" becomes S465POWR0001 + 1-byte 8-bit checksum + 0x0D. The checksum is chosen so the sum of all preceding bytes (including the checksum byte) equals 0x00 mod 256. Protocol is case-sensitive. ACK strings include OKAY, EROR, and WAIT.

Worked source examples (verbatim ASCII / HEX).

Enable RS-232 power-on: S5FAPOWER232[0xCD][0x0D] → 5FA:OKAY####[0x4A][0x0D]
- Then turn on TV 5FA: S5FAPOWRON##[0xC6][0x0D] → 5FA:WAIT####[0x49][0x0D] then 5FA:OKAY####[0x4A][0x0D]
Query current input: Q5FAINPT????[0xBC][0x0D] → 5FA:OKAYHDM1[0xCB][0x0D]

Connector & pinout (from source). DB9 female chassis-mount on the TV. Female pinout: 1=RI, 2=TXD, 3=RXD, 4=DSR, 5=GND, 6=DTR, 7=CTS, 8=RTS, 9=Power Input/DCD. USB-to-Serial adapter required if controller has only USB.

IR vs RS-232 coverage. Source documents both transports. The IR-only commands above (ir_* prefix) are listed for completeness — the underlying transport is consumer IR (NEC-style), not RS-232. A controller wanting bidirectional control + feedback should use RS-232; IR is one-way and toggle-style on several commands (POWER, INPUT, PICTURE MODE, SOUND MODE, PIP, Guide, Freeze, TV MENU, INFO/DISPLAY).

Multi-TV addressing. The 3-byte CLIENT_ID lets a single RS-232 trunk address multiple TVs (each with a unique MAC suffix), with ALL broadcasting to every TV. Queries to ALL are not meaningful (no aggregate response).

Known Gaps

- "source 85U8K-specific model coverage not explicitly listed in extracted text (the \"Models\" section was blank in extraction); pulled model from operator input."
- "TCP/IP / network control not described in source — only RS-232 and IR."
- "additional POIS values (HDMI inputs, VGA, etc.) likely exist in"
- "additional IR codes between TV TUNER1 (04FB748B) and HDMI.1"
- "query mnemonic for power state not explicitly listed in extracted text; POWR is the set command."
- "source does not describe unsolicited event notifications from"
- "source does not describe multi-step macros."
- "source contains no electrical, thermal, or installation safety"
- "the worked source example uses the mnemonics POWER232 and POWRON, but the structured command table only documents PWRE (4-byte mnemonic) and POWR. These appear to be earlier-revision aliases; the table-form PWRE0001 + POWR0001 are the canonical set commands. The aliases are not enumerated as separate actions here because the source treats them as illustrative."
- "TCP/IP control endpoint. Source mentions Ethernet MAC for client-ID purposes only; it does not describe a TCP or HTTP control endpoint."
- "full POIS (power-on input) enum and any commands documented after the POIS section — the refined source file is truncated mid-table immediately after POIS0003."
- "complete IR discrete-code list between TV TUNER1 (04FB748B) and HDMI.1 (04FB7C83) — refined source extraction shows a gap in this band of the discrete-IR table."
- "firmware version compatibility, protocol revision applicability to the specific 85U8K model (source title is generic \"Hisense Prosumer TV\"; operator asserted 85U8K)."
