Remote Stopped Working after TV Software Update

Driver connects using Simple IP. So make sure that stays enabled.  With just did a commercial job with 60 Sonys. They haven't called yet.

Exactly right... Something changed in their network stack, I can see the behavior in both Allonis and Home Assistant.... and it started right after the update. Looking back at the logs, everything was perfectly normal before the update.

While most TVs got an update, only some of them were upgraded to Android 14.  My A80K is still running Android 12.

The newest TVs might already come with Android 14.  Only the few that got upgraded are having problems.

Your steps worked... The TV is staying connected! Thanks for the suggestions!
