Admin password not accepted

In attempting to set up the HA integration, the Admin/Admin is not accepted. verified on the actual Jtech that the Admin/Admin is correct.

I get the same thing. I would love to have this integration inside my HA.

[russojoh]

Has anyone made any progress on this?

[snoman63]

I see some forks of this code, but I am not sure how to test those other forks in my HA.

[NicholsonDimes]

Same here.

If anyone wants to help adopt their units, open page inspector before the login, choose network tab, check “preserve log” checkbox, then click login button on page. Inside the network page you will see the network request its making, post what you get here

I ended up creating multiple python scripts to telnet into the HDMI matrix to change source/EDID. I then put those in my HA via YAML and used pyscript HACS addon to allow these scripts to be triggered to HA and then exposed them to google. So I can say "Hey google, play PC in living room" and it does it all for me. works great! however, every time HACS Pyscript is updated, i need to repush my python scripts back to its location in my home assistant docker container.

@snoman63 i can try to add those telnet way to the integration as opposite to web api method, however i need more info for that. share your experience and configs you made

So what I did was I ran a command to export all the available CLI commands:
Below are all the usable commands that can be placed in a Python script that can run against the JTech Matrix Box:

Jtech HDMI final Commands


Output 1 = Living Room TV
Output 2 = Basement TV
Output 3 = Bedroom TV
Output 4 = Basement Office

Input 1 = PC
Input 2 = Living Room Switch
Input 3 = Basement Switch
Input 4 =


Outputs Off
#video_d out1 onoff=0

Once you plug in your devices and figure out what input/output and what EDID it needs to be, I created a separate PY script for each source. Meaning, I have a script for changing Input 1 to go to output 2 and I have another script for changing Input 3 to go to output 4 and so on.

Here is an example PY Script that I have on my Docker host to change an input to a specific output with a specific EDID using Telnet to get into the JTech box.

Python Script example:

# ip adress of whatever you want to control
HOST = "IP ADDRESS OF JTECH HERE"
telnet = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST)

# wait for : before writing username
telnet.read_until(b":",1) 
telnet.write(b"MATRIX_USERNAME_HERE\n")

# wait for : before writing password
telnet.read_until(b":",1)
telnet.write(b"MATRIX_PASSWORD_HERE\n")

# wait for "/cli" before writing command
telnet.read_until(b"/cli>",2)

# commands
telnet.write(b"#video_d out1 onoff=0\n")
telnet.write(b"#video_d out2 onoff=1\n")
telnet.write(b"#video_d out3 onoff=0\n")
telnet.write(b"#video_d out4 onoff=0\n")
telnet.write(b"#video_d out2 matrix=3\n")
telnet.write(b"#edid in3 cfg=2/2\n")

# wait for "/cli" (commands have been executed)
telnet.read_until(b"/cli>",5)

# all done, exit and close
telnet.write(b"exit\n")
telnet.close()

Once you have all your scripts created, I then had to install "pyscript" in HACS via this repository or directly in HACS.
https://github.com/custom-components/pyscript

Then I had to copy ALL my PY scripts from docker host into my Docker Home Assistant Volume using this command
sudo docker cp /Docker/HomeAssistant/JTech HomeAssistant:/config/custom_components/pyscript/jtech

Once all the scripts have been copied into the Home Assistant container volume, inside HA, i had to create a HA script to call the PY script. Anytime there is an update to the HACS "pyscript" the python scripts on the Docker host need to be re-copied back into the HA Docker volume.

Note: I have blocked all external incoming and outgoing WAN traffic via a firewall rule on my router as I did not want this device leaving my internal network. This is an extra step you can do but not necessary. It just gives me the assurance this device is not going outside my internal network.

I know this is a very lengthy comment, but I hope this is enough info for you. Apologies on the long delay of this comment.

I have the JTECH-MX445-UHD. I can control it over the network with the iOS app. All it asks for is the IP address, but doesn't require a username or password. I'm unable to bypass the username and password in the Home Assistant integration. I've attempted to enter default credentials I found when Googling: admin/admin, admin/123456, but neither combination works.
