sleep / wake scripts for Sony BRAVIA TVs and Bluetooth Xbox One Controller

[Kentzo]

I recently finished integrating RetroPie with my AV system. Hope these sleep/wake scripts will be useful to someone else too.

I wanted RetroPie to turn off my AV and disconnect the bluetooth controller on sleep. On wake I wanted it to turn on my AV and select the appropriate Input.

I could not (or missed how) use HDMI-CEC since it only controlled my TV and not my AV receiver with other connected peripherals. I had to use Sony Bravia Rest API instead.

~/.emulationstation/scripts/sleep/1_hdmi_sleep.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Only turn off the AV system if RetroPie is the current input
# which on my system is HDMI 2.

tvIP="..." # IP reserved for the TV (statically or via a DHCP server)
currentInput=$(\
  curl \
    --silent \
    -X POST \
    -H "Content-Type: application/js" \
    -H "X-Auth-PSK: ..." \ # password you set up on the TV
    -d "{\"id\": 103, \"method\": \"getPlayingContentInfo\", \"version\": \"1.0\", \"params\": []}" \
    http://${tvIP}/sony/avContent
)

if [[ "${currentInput}" =~ "extInput:hdmi?port=2" ]]; then 
  curl \
    --silent \
    -X POST \
    -H "Content-Type: application/js" \
    -H "X-Auth-PSK: ..." \ # password you set up on the TV
    -d "{\"id\": 20, \"method\": \"setPowerStatus\", \"version\": \"1.0\", \"params\": [{\"status\": false}]}" \
    http://${tvIP}/sony/system
fi

# No need to waste power on the HDMI port
vcgencmd display_power 0

~/.emulationstation/scripts/sleep/2_bt_sleep.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

controllerMac="..." # bluetooth Mac address of the xbox controller
coproc bluetoothctl
echo -e 'agent on\ndisconnect ${controllerMac}\nexit\n' >&${COPROC[1]}
wait ${COPROC_PID}

~/.emulationstation/scripts/wake/1_hdmi_wake.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Unconditionally turn on the AV and switch input to RetroPie 
# which on my system is HDMI 2.

tvIP="..." # IP reserved for the TV (statically or via a DHCP server)

vcgencmd display_power 1

sleep 1

curl \
  --silent \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/js" \
  -H "X-Auth-PSK: ..." \ # password you set up on the TV
  -d "{\"id\": 20, \"method\": \"setPowerStatus\", \"version\": \"1.0\", \"params\": [{\"status\": true}]}" \
  http://${tvIP}/sony/system

sleep 5

curl \
  --silent \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/js" \
  -H "X-Auth-PSK: ..." \ # password you set up on the TV
  -d "{\"id\": 20, \"method\": \"setPlayContent\", \"version\": \"1.0\", \"params\": [{\"uri\": \"extInput:hdmi\?port=2\"}]}" \

What's left out is "waking" the RetroPie whenever I turn on my controller, but there is no simple way right now:

• RetroPie does not support an event like this, so one would have to use bluez
• Couldn't find how to "wake" RetroPie from CLI
