Installed two with IP control, no issues. Enable Simple IP control, check that Remote Start is enabled, and off you go. The panel is LG; software and video processing is all Sony.
Serial is not enabled by default on Sony TVs running on the Android platform; enabling RS-232 from the menu is necessary (for models since 2018 at least). If I recall you also select either the physical RS-232 port or CEC in the same menu.
Standard Sony IR codes should also work. If you are hardwiring IR to the jack, make sure that you know the Stereo pinout. I have a generic Sony IR codeset in a URC remote that has worked for several model years now.

Anyone dealt with the new Sony Z Series Displays? I have tried CEC, IR (several drivers), RS232. nothing.
Even other Sony tv remotes wouldn't control the tv (just power toggle, but no menu or other buttons worked). Tech had to get the remote that shipped with the TV to try to turn on Serial.
Is this TV a LG or some other rebrand and that why it won't control?
The model is XBR-85Z8H
Thank you
