Built-in Samsung TV integration - selected source

Configuration
1

After recent update to Samsung Integration (a month or two ago) I found it pretty reliable. It doesn’t require reauthentication every few days like the previous version. Thanx for that.
Also, what surprised me even more, the integration automatically provides list of sources (incl. applications) and allows to change them (ie to select Spotify or iptv app). it encouraged me to add TV to HA GUI.

What is missing at this point, is an attribute saying what exact source/app is active. Integration documentation mentions the source attribute, but dev tools don’t list it. Here are attributes provided by dev tools:

source_list: TV, HDMI, 4NET.TV, Apple Music, Apple TV, Dramox, Gallery, Google Play Movies, HbbTV, Internet, Lepší.TV / goNET.TV, MALL.TV, Magio GO, Netflix, Oktagon.TV, Prime Video, PrivacyChoices, Rakuten TV, SWEET.TV, Skylink CZ, Sledovani.tv, SledovaniTV 2.0, Spotify - Music and Podcasts, T-Mobile TV GO, VOYO.cz, YouTube, e-Manual
volume_level: 0.11
is_volume_muted: false
device_class: tv
friendly_name: Samsung Q70 Series (65)
supported_features: 20413

The source doesn’t appear even after selecting the app from within the entity card. Of course TV accepts the change.

Is it the integration bug, missing support from TV or do I miss something else?

is nobody using this integration?

I gave up on it before since it was so unreliable, as you said, but I added it again now. The SmartThings integration with my TV (that used to be equally unreliable, but was still there in HA, as I discovered now) also seems to be working again, and there is an ‘input_source’ sensor there, so you could try that as a workaround.

Im using a simple setup as per my attachement and its working perfectly with the stock Samsung official integration. My Aqara button on each single press changes between the available used HDMI inputs only. Works perfect for my needs, i.e. switching between the PC and STB inputs.

I have the same issue. Did you find a solution?

How are you doing reauthentication? My source_list for my TV keeps disappearing and breaks my automation every couple days.
