This component is no longer maintained as I switched to the HA Sony Bravia integration which now also supports using the Pre-Shared Key. I can still merge PRs made and tested by the community and release new versions.
A huge thanks to all users and contributors
It was really fun to develop this custom integration and see that so many people use(d) it
