Simple Philips AndroidTV that suits my needs.
This is an application providing remote control to Philips Android TV. It looks like this.
The remote does not have any keys associated with watching TV as it is intended to control smart features and watching streaming services. If this is a problem for you, just file an issue.
- Python 3.6 or higher
- Kivy
On desktop simply run main.py.
To pair the TV hold the source button 
for
2 seconds. The pairing window will appear and you should be able to select your TV from the list (make sure it is turned on).
If the program does not discover your TV automatically, you need to specify its IP manually. First, open settings on your TV and
select Wireless and Networks > Wired of Wi-Fi > View network settings. Note the IP address of your TV. Next, hold
the source button for 2 seconds and click
Advanced... to open settings. Then enter the IP of the TV in the appropriate box and click Pair button to pair the app
with your TV.
Just use the buttons on remote. Generally they match the ones on your remote. Holding some of the buttons for 2 seconds will provide additional action:
