Summary

Sony BRAVIA 2014 LCD TV with Simple IP Control Protocol (v0.6). Binary TCP control on port 20060 using 24-byte fixed-length packets. Provides power, volume, mute, channel, input routing, PIP, and picture mute control plus IR-emulation commands. Source also mentions an HTTP/JSON-RPC "WebAPI" layer but does not detail it here.

Notes

  • Binary protocol: every packet is exactly 24 bytes. Header 0x2A 0x53, footer 0x0A.
  • Type byte determines direction: C (0x43) = control command, E (0x45) = enquiry/query, A (0x41) = answer from TV, N (0x4E) = unsolicited notify.
  • FourCC function codes are 4 ASCII characters at bytes 3–6.
  • Parameter field is 16 ASCII bytes at bytes 7–22. # (0x23) = unused/wildcard. 0–9 for values. F for error responses.
  • Answer success = 16 × 0 (0x30). Answer error = 16 × F (0x46).
  • TCP idle timeout: 30 seconds. Keep-alive or reconnect required for long sessions.
  • Simple IP Control must be enabled on the TV via Network > Home Network Setup > IP Control > Simple IP Control (or Hotel/Pro Mode equivalent).
  • Source mentions a high-level HTTP/JSON-RPC "WebAPI" but does not document it. All low-level commands are stated to be available via WebAPI as well.
  • Protocol version is 0.6 as stated in the source document.

- "protocol version 0.6 stated — compatibility with other versions unknown"
- "which specific BRAVIA 2014 models beyond KDL-48W585B share this protocol"
- "no base_url or path pattern stated (binary protocol, not HTTP)"
- "no settable variables beyond what actions cover; volume level is set via set_audio_volume action"
- "no multi-step sequences described in source"
- "no safety warnings or interlock procedures in source"
- "HTTP/JSON-RPC WebAPI endpoints and format not documented in source"
- "volume range not stated in source (0–??)"
- "maximum HDMI/SCART/etc. port count not stated beyond \"1–9999\" range"
