Native TV App Syncing

I have a Sony Bravia (A80k), with native google TV. I stream everything through the native TV OS itself.

How can i get this to sync with Phillips Hue? I rly dont want to get another box (and remote) and stream that way, if I already have it on the TV

Is there an app, and does it actually work? I mainly watch youtube TV, and youtube.

Also, I stream moviebox off my phone onto the TV, can I get that to work with Hue as well?

There is an app, but not for your Sony Google TV. It’s only for Samsung (Tizen) and LG (webOS) TVs. Sorry.

Native app only works for Samsung or LG. Get a cheap box

I got around it by having all my tvs hooked up to laptop PC's, where the hue app is free. Of course this solution isnt for everyone. All my media is through my laptop, I have apple and fire tvs but I dont use them.
