Sony Bravia TVs integrate with Home Assistant using Sony’s IP control protocol and the Android TV platform. The integration provides power control, volume management, source/input selection, and app launching over your local network.
As Android TV devices, Bravia TVs can be controlled through both the Bravia-specific protocol and the Android TV Remote integration. Home Assistant discovers Bravia TVs automatically and provides media player entities for automation.
HA DocumentationHow Sony Bravia TV Works with Home Assistant
Getting Sony Bravia TV connected to Home Assistant and running reliably.
Discover & connect
Home Assistant discovers Sony Bravia TV media devices on your network automatically. Add them to see playback controls, volume, source selection, and grouping options.
Multi-room audio
Group Sony Bravia TV speakers with devices from other brands for synchronized whole-home audio. Control each room independently or as zones.
Event-driven media
Build automations that play specific audio based on events — doorbell rings, morning alarms, or custom announcements. Route different media to different rooms.
Common Sony Bravia TV Issues
The problems installers run into with Sony Bravia TV and Home Assistant — and how a managed setup prevents them.
IP control must be enabled on the TV
Sony Bravia's IP control feature must be manually enabled in the TV's network settings. Some models require a pre-shared key authentication, while newer models use PIN-based pairing.
Dual integration confusion
Bravia TVs can be controlled via both the Bravia integration and the Android TV Remote integration, creating duplicate entities and potential control conflicts.
Power on reliability
Waking a Bravia TV from standby over the network depends on Wake-on-LAN support, which varies by model and firmware. Some models require specific power management settings enabled.
Why installers choose managed Sony Bravia setups
- Single integration strategy selected and configured for each model
- Wake-on-LAN verified and network standby settings configured
- HDMI-CEC coordination for unified media system control
