Hisense E SERIES (Digital Signage) control commands

Summary

This document is a serial (RS-232) HEX-command control spec transcribed from a Hisense B2B guide. It covers E SERIES digital signage, M SERIES 24/7 digital signage, and WR SERIES interactive touch displays. It is unrelated to the requested PL2NE model.

Transport

# Source is RS-232 serial only. No TCP/IP, HTTP, UDP, or OSC in source.
# (Requested protocol "TCP/IP" is NOT supported by this source - see Summary.)
protocols:
  - serial
serial:
  baud_rate: 9600  # M-SERIES and WR-SERIES use 9600; E-SERIES uses 115200
  data_bits: 8
  parity: none
  stop_bits: 1
  flow_control: none
# E-SERIES serial override: baud_rate 115200 (all other params identical).
# Pinouts differ per series (E: RJ45 pins 4/5/7; M: pins 3/5/8; WR: pins 2/3/5).
auth:
  type: none  # inferred: no auth procedure in source

Traits

traits:
  - powerable   # inferred: Power On / Power Off commands present (all 3 series)
  - routable    # inferred: input-select commands present (all 3 series)
  - queryable   # inferred: query commands returning state present (all 3 series)
  - levelable   # inferred: Set Volume / Set Brightness present

Actions

# Coverage: every distinct command row in the source, across E/M/WR series.
# Each row is a separate action (per granularity rule).
# All payloads are HEX bytes, verbatim from source. xx = screen ID (01-FF, or 00
# for broadcast); yy = XOR check bit; vv = volume 00-64; ww = mode/value as noted.
# Commands are grouped by source series. E-SERIES requires baud 115200; M/WR use 9600.

Notes

All Hisense RS-232 commands are HEX codes, not ASCII.
XOR check bit (yy / xx / zz depending on series) must be computed per target screen ID; value differs per ID. Source links https://onlinehextools.com/xor-hex-numbers.
Screen ID 00 = broadcast to all daisy-chained panels in a video wall (E-series).
Pinouts differ per series:
- E-SERIES RJ45: pin 4=GND, 5=RX, 7=TX (DB-9F: 5,2,3).
- M-SERIES RJ45: pin 3=GND, 5=RX, 8=TX.
- WR-SERIES RJ45: pin 2=RX, 3=TX, 5=GND.
Baud differs per series: E=115200, M=9600, WR=9600 (all 8N1, no flow control).

**TL;DR**: Source mismatch. Output faithful E/M/WR RS-232 signage spec + glaring UNRESOLVED. Not PL2NE, not TCP/IP. Operator pick: confirm model / use community MQTT (port 36669) / keep `no_docs`. Caught 1 source doc-bug in E-series Power Off example too.

Notes

All Hisense RS-232 commands are HEX codes, not ASCII.

XOR check bit (yy / xx / zz depending on series) must be computed per target screen ID; value differs per ID. Source links https://onlinehextools.com/xor-hex-numbers.

Screen ID 00 = broadcast to all daisy-chained panels in a video wall (E-series).

Pinouts differ per series:

E-SERIES RJ45: pin 4=GND, 5=RX, 7=TX (DB-9F: 5,2,3).
M-SERIES RJ45: pin 3=GND, 5=RX, 8=TX.
WR-SERIES RJ45: pin 2=RX, 3=TX, 5=GND.

Baud differs per series: E=115200, M=9600, WR=9600 (all 8N1, no flow control).

--- **TL;DR**: Source mismatch. Output faithful E/M/WR RS-232 signage spec + glaring UNRESOLVED. Not PL2NE, not TCP/IP. Operator pick: confirm model / use community MQTT (port 36669) / keep `no_docs`. Caught 1 source doc-bug in E-series Power Off example too. ## Provenance ```yaml source_domains: - hisense-b2b.com source_urls: - "https://www.hisense-b2b.com/Attachment/DownloadFile?downloadId=5" - "https://www.hisense-b2b.com/Attachment/DownloadFile?downloadId=399" - "https://www.hisense-b2b.com/Attachment/DownloadFile?downloadId=447" - "https://www.hisense-b2b.com/Attachment/DownloadFile?downloadId=855" - "https://www.hisense-b2b.com/Attachment/DownloadFile?downloadId=521" retrieved_at: 2026-06-27T18:11:47.399Z last_checked_at: 2026-06-30T07:07:57.590Z ``` ## Verification Summary ```yaml verdict: verified checked_at: 2026-06-30T07:07:57.590Z matched_actions: 68 action_count: 68 confidence: medium summary: "All 68 spec actions matched their exact hex command sequences in source; transport serial/baud/parity verified across E/M/WR series.
