Tools to control Philips 2016 Android TVs

The API is roughly the same as [JointSpace](http://jointspace.sourceforge.net/) with the following

differences:

* Uses HTTPS over port 1926

* Uses /6/ instead of /1/ as the API path

* All calls have to have digest auth to be successful

* An initial pairing to determine the user/pass is required

* Channel and Source methods aren't available

Channel status and changes are performed using a different protocol that isn't described here.

The tool here will do the initial pairing. The credentials can then be used in a standard way

(digest) in other tools.

## Getting started

To get started with thie library you can install the requirements with pip using:

`pip install -r requirements.txt`. After which you can run this script to pair your Philips TV 

with `python philips.py --host  pair` to receive the credentials for your 

television. When you have received the correct credentials, you can run the other commands.
