JVC Projector

The JVC Projector integration allows for the automation of JVC Projectors.

Supported models

This integration is intended for the automation of any modern JVC Projector with a network port.

Prerequisites

JVC is requiring newer 2024+ models to use a user-generated password to access the network port for security reasons.

To set up these models:

  1. Set a password on the projector’s network setup page.
  2. Use this password when adding the JVC Projector integration in Home Assistant.

Password hashing for newer models (NZ800 and NZ900)

For newer projector models (NZ800 and NZ900), the password needs to be hashed before being used in Home Assistant. Here’s how to generate the correct hash:

  1. Set a password in the projector (for example, “1234567890”).
  2. Append the string “JVCKWPJ” to your password (for example, “1234567890JVCKWPJ”).
  3. Generate a SHA256 hash of the resulting string using an online tool like SHA256 Hash Generator.
  4. Use the generated hash as the password when adding the JVC Projector integration in Home Assistant.
