Help With Setting Up Samsung TV

HI All, I’d like some advise on setting my Samsung TV up with HA.

So I have successfully added it to my HA overview screen and can turn it on/off.

When I click into though, it has the mute and volume up/down actions. How do I add that to the overview screen also please?

Also, to add extra commands, how do I that please?

My config file is :

media_player:

  • platform: samsungtv
    host: 192.168.0.X
    port: 8001
    name: Living Room TV

Do I add this :

media_player:

  • platform: samsungtv
    host: 192.168.0.X
    port: 8001
    name: Living Room TV
  • type: media-control
    entity: media_player.samsungtv

Next, to change the channels, etc would the config be this :

media_player:

  • platform: samsungtv
    host: 192.168.0.X
    port: 8001
    name: Living Room TV
  • type: media-control
    entity: media_player.samsungtv
    {
    “entity_id”: “media_player.samsungtv”,
    “media_content_id”: “590”,
    “media_content_type”: “channel”
    }

If this is all correct, could I then set favourite channels to my HA overview screen?

And lastly, how would I integrate that to all walk with Alexa? I am trialing cloud currently and have the HA skill set up in my Alexa app.

Sorry for all the questions, and if I totally off with the config’s I’m new to all this and learning as I go, but any help and assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I can call the service “media_player.play_media” under “developer tools --> services” and it works:

entity_id: media_player.samsung_tv_remote
media_content_type: channel
media_content_id: 55
