Philips SICP Module

This module can be used to control Philips Signage displays. The module has been tested with Philips 86BDL3511Q, but should be compatible with other displays supporting SERIAL / ETHERNET INTERFACE COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL v2.03 (SICP v1.99 or later)

Config

Make sure your display is connected to your LAN and has a static IP, or you have made a DHCP reservation on your router.

To start the display through Companion, TCP should always be available on your display. In the model I use this is done by setting the "Power save mode" to mode 3 or 4.

Alternatively Wake On LAN can be used, in this case WoL should be enabled on both the display and the module config.

Actions

Currently the following actions are supported.

• Power
  • On
  • Off
  • Toggle
• Set Input Source
• Volume Up/Down (one step, for speakers, audio out or both)
• Set Volume (0-100%, for speakers, audio out or both)
• Mute
  • On
  • Off
  • Toggle

Changing only the speakers or only the audio out with Volume Up/Down requires a recent platform (Dragon 1.6, Himalaya 2.0 or newer, or updated Dragon 1.0/1.5 firmware). Mute is part of SICP v2.01 and later; displays that don't support a command log a warning when it is used.

Feedback

Currently the following feedbacks are supported.

• Power
• Input Source
• Muted

Variables

• power_state: true when the display is powered on
• input_source: id of the active input source (e.g. HDMI1)
• input_source_label: name of the active input source (e.g. HDMI 1)
• volume: speaker volume (0-100%)
• volume_audio_out: audio out volume (0-100%), empty on displays without a variable audio out
• mute: true when the audio is muted

Presets

Presets are available for power on/off/toggle, selecting each input source, volume up/down and mute, including feedback.

Connection

The module polls the display every 3 seconds. When the display cannot be reached, the module retries every 5 seconds. A persisting problem is logged once, and a message is logged when the connection is restored.

Enable "Debug logging" in the connection config to log every message sent to and received from the display. This is useful when reporting problems.

Supported Devices
