Yeah
I did more reading after posting and it looks like I'd need one of the 50" to 90" models as these support the new Aquos Lite iOS app - all the models listed against their Smart Remote and Smart Remote + iOS apps are discontinued.
Panasonic, Philips and Samsung all have some models that are controllable but they seem to be older (2009-2012 era) models.
I think the most reliable and proven solution now (2015) is the LG TVs, most/many of which still have a 3.5mm RS232 jack, and there's several copies of an API library out there including one in python.
I'll have a look further - do you fancy turning the python library into a plugin if it looks ok?
