I am in the same situation that you. I control status and volume using the custom_components/media_player/samsungtv.py and the turning on/off via hdmi_cec.
I hope to control everything using only one component some day 
How have you achieved to turn it on and off with that?
It’s easy. You must connect the RPI to your TV by HDMI and setup de hdmi_cec component in Home Assistant.
After that, you can send ‘hdmi_cec’ commands to your TV, like turning on/off
action:
service: hdmi_cec.power_on
More info here.
Arh yes, that makes sense. I thought you could without.
One thing I can’t get working is the source change.
Before I was using openhab and had that part working too. I really hope I can find a solution to get that working. I was using it in a rule so that my TV switches from one source to another, showing my surveillance cameras when the doorbell rang. Unfortunately that’s no longer possible 
Anyone else not seeing their tv’s updating after the latest 88.1 update?
This is the error I see in the log:

I get “ms.channel.unauthorized” when connecting to Samsung TV UE55NU6035 and I haven’t been able to figure it out.
Here are the logs when pressing the on/off button in the UI:

I have been following
also but have seen he has stopped. However I also do own an Athom Homey and for that device somebody managed to write an app. For the code see: GitHub - balmli/com.samsung.smart at cd455cbb5cb27988e7e32e2489cf604e7135843d. Possibly somebody could use this to create a working Hass module.

Thanks in advance
Everything stopped working after an update. That happened a couple of weeks after my post. I just bought an ir blaster. Haven’t tested direct commands eversince.
Is there anyway to grab status of hdmi on Samsung tv.
Means can we grab different status of hdmi
Like is it
HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 or HDMI 3 …
Please guide.
Thanks
After HA updates, I have decided to create a custom component, it is working on the latest version of HA 0.99.3, I have uploaded the code to:
I hope it helps you.

Looks promising.
Thanks
Very nice. Does your new component address some of the connection issues in the commonly available Samsungtv component?
Very happy to see work on this, thank you
Very nice.
Thanks
I just seem to get unauthorized error on HA. And no pop up on my TV to allow or deny home assistant. My model is a Samsung UE55NU7100. I have checked in the list of devices on the TV and there is nothing listed there either. any help much appreciated
I did install your component and it works like the HA-Version. I somehow do not get the HDMI’s to work. Even in the events I was not able to use the HDMI keys. All other tested keys did work. I don’t think it has anything to do with your component but I am curious if there are more users with this problem.
