pylips VS pytradfri

I understand that this Homebridge plugin runs on Pylips (a Python app to control Philips TVs) and here I found the documentation for available commands but I do not know how to implement these, where to put them, how not to mess up things more.

It might be, however it seems that some functionality might be dependent on MQTT requests/responses.

here is an example for philips android tv: https://github.com/eslavnov/pylips

Depends on your media playing set up. For example I have a Philips TV which I control via mqtt using pylips (https://github.com/eslavnov/pylips) and can control my sky q box using sky q media player (https://github.com/RogerSelwyn/Home_Assistant_SkyQ_MediaPlayer) so it should be simple to combine these two to turn the TV on and to a channel, you could query something like https://www.live-footballontv.com/ to get the channel information to know which channel to change it to.

I'm thinking about getting a smart light bulb to my room, but I want to control it from my Raspberry Pi. I checked out LIFX, and it looks great, but a bit too expensive. So, I was looking into buying IKEA's Tradfri bulb, since it costs way less. I found a python API for it, and I can buy a Zigbee module for my Raspberry. Is it possible to use the Tradfri lamp only trough raspberry, without buying any of the controllers from IKEA?

I‘m.not having my decays at hand. I‘d research into https://github.com/home-assistant-libs/pytradfri and try to get it to work.

I see based on this that the -i -m pytradfri sequence looks like it's running some kind of key management code when run in that fashion that won't happen when you import it as a library in a regular Python script.

I guess you can do this with https://github.com/home-assistant-libs/pytradfri ? It's actively maintained at least.
