Sony Projector ADCP integration for Unfolded Circle Remote Devices

⚠️ Disclaimer ⚠️

This software may contain bugs that could affect system stability. Please use it at your own risk!

Integration for Unfolded Circle Remote Devices running Unfolded OS (currently Remote Two and the upcoming Remote 3) to control Sony projectors that support the ADCP protocol.

Using uc-integration-api.

Table of Contents

Usage

Supported models

Most Sony home cinema projectors with an Ethernet RJ-45 port that were released since 2016 should be supported. Please refer to Sony's user manual for more details.

For a full list of all supported ADCP commands by your model see ADCP Supported commands list.

If your model is older or not supported you can try to use the deprecated Sony SDCP integration

Projector Setup

You need to either assign a static ip address to your projector or configure your router's dhcp server to always assign the same ip address to the projector. This is due to a technical limitation on how the SDAP advertisement protocol used by Sony projectors works.

You may need to activate the WebUI and network management in the projector menu first to configure the following settings and be able to turn on the projector remotely.

ADCP Authentication

Authentication for ADCP is enabled by default on most models. Therefore it's required to enter the WebUI password of the projector in the integration setup. Leave the field empty if you disabled authentication.

Important note: If you ever change the hostname of the device the integration is running on or use a configuration file that was created with on a different host, you need to reconfigure the projector in the integration setup.

Activate ADCP & Advertisement (SDAP)

On most projectors ADCP and Advertisement via SDAP is turned on by default. Please refer to Sony's user manual on how to turn these services on manually as there are different variants of the projector WebUI depending on the model you are using.

Advanced setup settings

If you're using different ports for ADCP or SDAP advertisement than the default values, you need to activate the advanced settings option when configuring the integration. Here you can change the ADCP/SDAP ports & ADCP password and timeout as well as the interval of both poller intervals.

Please note that when running this integration on the remote the power/mute/input poller interval is always set to 0 to deactivate this poller in order to reduce battery consumption and save cpu/memory usage.

Entities

  • Media player
    • Source select feature to choose the input from a list
  • Remote
    • Pre-defined buttons mappings and ui pages with all available commands that can be customized in the web configurator
    • Send native ADCP commands via the send command and send command sequence command (useful for commands thats are not available as simple commands)
    • Use command sequences in the activity editor instead of creating a macro for each sequence. All command names have to be in upper case and separated by a comma
    • Support for repeat, delay and hold
      • Hold just repeats the command continuously for the given hold time. There is no native hold function for the ADCP protocol as with some ir devices to activate additional functions
  • Sensor
    • Light source timer
      • Light source hours will be updated every time the projector is powered on or off by the remote and automatically every 30 minutes (can be changed in the advanced setup) while the projector is powered on and the remote is not in sleep/standby mode or the integration is disconnected

Attributes poller

Media player

By default the integration checks the status of all media player entity attributes every 20 seconds while the remote is not in standby/sleep mode or disconnected from the integration. The interval can be changed in the advanced settings. Set it to 0 to deactivate this function. When running on the remote as a custom integration the interval will be automatically set to 0 to reduce battery consumption and save cpu/memory usage.

Light source timer sensor

The sensor value will be updated every time the projector is powered on or off by the remote and automatically every 30 minutes by default while the projector is powered on and the remote is not in sleep/standby mode or the integration is disconnected. The interval can be changed in the advanced settings.

Installation

Run on the remote as a custom integration driver

Limitations / Disclaimer

⚠️ This feature is currently only available in beta firmware releases and requires version 1.9.2 or newer. Please keep in mind that due to the beta status there are missing firmware features that require workarounds (see below) and that changes in future beta updates may temporarily or permanently break the functionality of this integration as a custom integration. Please wait until custom integrations are available in stable firmware releases if you don't want to take these risks.

Missing firmware features
  • The configuration file of custom integrations are not included in backups.
  • You currently can't update custom integrations. You need to delete the integration from the integrations menu first and then re-upload the new version. Do not edit any activity or macros that includes entities from this integration after you removed the integration and wait until the new version has been uploaded and installed. You also need to add re-add entities to the main pages after the update as they are automatically removed. An update function will probably be added once the custom integrations feature will be available in stable firmware releases.

Download integration driver

Download the uc-intg-sonyadcp-x.x.x-aarch64.tar.gz archive in the assets section from the latest release

Install the custom integration driver on the remote

Since firmware version 2.2.0 you can upload custom integrations in the web configurator. Go to integrations, click on install custom and choose the downloaded tar.gz file

Upload via Core API or 3rd party tools
curl --location 'http://$IP/api/intg/install' \
--user 'web-configurator:$PIN' \
--form 'file=@"uc-intg-sonyadcp-$VERSION-aarch64.tar.gz"'

There is also a Core API GUI available at https://Remote-IP/doc/core-rest. Click on Authorize to log in (username: web-configurator, password: your PIN), scroll down to POST intg/install, click on Try it out, choose a file and then click on Execute.

Alternatively you can also use the unofficial UC Remote Toolkit

Run on a separate device as an external integration

Remote requirements

  • Firmware 1.7.12 or newer to support simple commands and remote entities

Bare metal/VM

Requirements

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Start the integration
python3 intg-sonyadcp/driver.py

Docker container

For the mDNS advertisement to work correctly it's advised to start the integration in the host network (--net=host). You can also set the websocket listening port with the environment variable UC_INTEGRATION_HTTP_PORT, set the listening interface with UC_INTEGRATION_INTERFACE or change the default debug log level with UC_LOG_LEVEL. See available environment variables in the Python integration library.

All data is mounted to /usr/src/app:

docker run --net=host -n 'ucr2-integration-sonyadcp' -v './ucr2-integration-sonyADCP':'/usr/src/app/':'rw' 'python:3.11' /usr/src/app/docker-entry.sh

Build

Instead of downloading the integration driver archive from the release assets you can also build and create the needed distribution binary and tar.gz archive yourself.

For Python based integrations Unfolded Circle recommends to use pyinstaller to create a distribution binary that has everything in it, including the Python runtime and all required modules and native libraries.

Build distribution binary

First we need to compile the driver on the target architecture because pyinstaller does not support cross compilation.

The --onefile option to create a one-file bundled executable should be avoided:

  • Higher startup cost, since the wrapper binary must first extract the archive.
  • Files are extracted to the /tmp directory on the device, which is an in-memory filesystem.
    This will further reduce the available memory for the integration drivers!

We use the --onedir option instead.

x86-64 Linux

On x86-64 Linux we need Qemu to emulate the aarch64 target platform:

sudo apt install qemu binfmt-support qemu-user-static
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static --reset -p yes

Run pyinstaller:

docker run --rm --name builder \
    --platform=aarch64 \
    --user=$(id -u):$(id -g) \
    -v "$PWD":/workspace \
    docker.io/unfoldedcircle/r2-pyinstaller:3.11.6-0.2.0  \
    bash -c \
      "cd /workspace && \
      python -m pip install -r requirements.txt && \
      pyinstaller --clean --onedir --name int-sonyadcp intg-sonyadcp/driver.py"

aarch64 Linux / Mac

On an aarch64 host platform, the build image can be run directly (and much faster):

docker run --rm --name builder \
    --user=$(id -u):$(id -g) \
    -v "$PWD":/workspace \
    docker.io/unfoldedcircle/r2-pyinstaller:3.11.6-0.2.0  \
    bash -c \
      "cd /workspace && \
      python -m pip install -r requirements.txt && \
      pyinstaller --clean --onedir --name intg-sonyadcp intg-sonyadcp/driver.py"

Create tar.gz archive

Now we need to create the tar.gz archive that can be installed on the remote and contains the driver.json metadata file and the driver distribution binary inside the bin directory

mkdir -p artifacts/bin
mv dist/intg-sonyadcp/* artifacts/bin
mv artifacts/bin/intg-sonyadcp artifacts/bin/driver
cp driver.json artifacts/
tar czvf uc-intg-sonyadcp-aarch64.tar.gz -C artifacts .
rm -r dist build artifacts intg-sonyadcp.spec

ADCP supported commands list

If your projector is not listed in the supported commands list please contact your authorized Sony dealer to get the full ADCP supported commands list document for your projector model.

Planned improvements

  • Add a sensor and use media player title, artist and album from the media player to show signal infos (resolution, framerate, color space, 2D/3D status, light source output setting/value, picture position)
  • Replace the light source timer sensor with a projector status sensor that also includes temperature, warning & error status
  • Add a simple command to trigger the update of sensor values and media player playback attributes as the integration itself and not the remote core are responsible for updating these data and frequent poller tasks are a battery killer. This command can e.g. be combined in a macro with the enter and return command of the media playback device.
