# Control Sony BRAVIA 8A via HTTPS in Home Assistant

The BRAVIA 8A uses only HTTPS for communication, which makes the Home Assistant integration SonyBravia unusable. This project provides a workaround.

The main script ```bravia8_pyscript.py``` utilizes the HACS custom integration ```pyscript``` (https://github.com/custom-components/pyscript).

## Changelog
```
15.06.2026 - 2.0.0 - Update to latest pyscript version (2.0.1), removed modified pybravia module,
                     as latest versions (>0.4.0) can handle HTTPS.
      2025 - 1.0.0 - Initial release using modified pybravia module
```
