Sony KJX85 Series Control Spec

Summary

Sony BRAVIA KJX85 Series supports Sony Simple IP Control over TCP using a fixed-size 24-byte message format. The protocol includes control, enquiry, answer, and notify messages, with TCP port 20060 and 30-second idle disconnection.

Transport

protocols:
  - tcp
addressing:
  port: 20060
auth:
  type: none  # inferred: no auth procedure in source

Traits

- powerable  # inferred from setPowerStatus and getPowerStatus
- routable  # inferred from channel and input routing commands
- queryable  # inferred from enquiry commands returning values
- levelable  # inferred from audio volume command

Notes

Protocol must be enabled through Network > Home Network Setup > IP Control > Simple IP Control, or through Hotel/Pro Mode > IP Control > Simple IP Control. TCP messages use fixed 24-byte format: header 0x2A 0x53, one-byte type, four-byte FourCC function, sixteen-byte parameter, footer 0x0A. Connections remain open between requests and server disconnects after 30 seconds without command.

Known Gaps

- "source identifies protocol for BRAVIA 2014 models, but does not explicitly confirm KJX85 Series compatibility."
- "no additional non-discrete settable variables documented in source"
- "no multi-step sequences explicitly documented in source"
- "no safety warnings, interlock procedures, or power-on sequencing requirements documented in source"
- "source does not provide exact complete serialized payload notation for every message; command fields preserve documented FourCC and parameter patterns."
- "source does not state whether Sony KJX85 Series specifically supports this BRAVIA 2014 protocol."
