Sony Bravia XBR-65X900A (2013)	Works	Works; WOL broadcast address option added for cross-VLAN setups Saved copy Really only super old TVs need WOL, doesn't it work without? My TV is a 2013 model - XBR65X900A. I can use the official Sony remote app only when in the same vlan, but it will not work if my phone is connected to the vlan where the homebridge server is connected.

Sony Bravia TV	Partly works	Has native HomeKit; plugin option offers similar control Saved copy I was looking around to see when should devices be added to Apple Home vs. Homebridge. For example, I have Sony Bravia TV that has Homekit available. I can add it to my Home and interact with it. But I have noticed there is a Homebridge plugin that provides same level (not positive) of interactions. My Homebridge setup does have Google Home integration and use that to voice commands a few items in Homebridge. Perhaps, telling my Google Home to turn on my TV to an input is something that I need to use Homebridge for, when that provides cross-platform interaction. This all leads me to a … Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.	Reddit thread · 2021-05
TCL Android TV	Won’t be supported	Owner: plugin is only for Sony TVs; connection reset Saved copy Yes, this is definitely only for Sony TVs, but it works with some Sony TVs that are not running on AndroidTV On Sat Jul 18, 2020 at 9:50 PM CEST, Facundo wrote: Yes, maybe, I have a TCL Android TV.
