undefinedConfiguration variables:undefined

key	description
undefinedplatform (Required)undefined	The platform name.
undefinedhost (Required)undefined	The IP of the Sony Bravia TV, eg. 192.168.1.101.
undefinedpsk (Required)undefined	The Pre-Shared Key of the Sony Bravia TV, eg. sony (see below for instructions how to configure this on the TV). Place the psk between quotes if you use digits and those start with one or more zero’s, e.g. ‘0044’.
undefinedmac (Optional)undefined	The MAC address of the Sony Bravia TV (see below for instructions how to get this from the TV). This is used to turn on the TV using WakeOn LAN and is only needed if the TV is non-Android.
undefinedamp (Optional)undefined	Boolean, defaults to False. Set this to True if you have an amplifier attached to the TV and not use the internal TV speakers. Then the volume slider will not be shown as this doesn’t work for the amplifier. Mute and volume up and down buttons are there and working with an amplifier.
undefinedandroid (Optional)undefined	Boolean, defaults to False. Set this to True when you have an Android TV as these TV’s don’t respond to WakeOn LAN commands, so another method of turning on the TV can be used.
undefinedsourcefilter (Optional)undefined	List of text that is used to filter the source list, eg. ’ HD’ (with quotes) will only show TV channels in the source list which contain ‘HD’, eg. ‘NPO 3 HD’ (in my config this will only show HD channels)
