From what I understood youāll need Wake-On-LAN to do that, or an IR Blaster. But I could be wrong.
I have a 433MhZ Sonoff RF ZBBridge, is there a way of turning it on with it?
You may also be able to use media_player.turn_on if your TV shows up as a media player.
I can turn it off but not on

I have two Samsung TVs. One I can power on through HA and the other I cannot. Seems to be a limitation of the TV, not HA as this has been the case since I added each. Both are connected via WiFi.
Hi, I have been battling this issue with my Samsung TV as well, and I finally found out why.
When the TV powers off, it stops listening for commands. Thatās why commands including power off works. To make it start listening for commands, it needs a WOL packet. Keep in mind the WOL packet doesnt turn on the TV, it only makes it accept commands again.
So, to power the TV on, do the following, in your automation:
- Send a wake-on-lan packet to the MAC address of your TV
- Send a Power On command

Great. It would have been nice had you described how to send a WOL packetā¦ Without that, this post is useless.
You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Try asking nicely, like:
āThank you, could you please explain how to send the packet?ā

Thatās your opinion. Just keep in mind that youāve posted twice in this thread and both have been flagged by other community members.
As for WOL, it helps to look through the integrations.

This could be my answer, does this work over wifi as well?
I solved this without using wakeonlan. On the Frame TV go to settings > Connection > Network > Expert settings. Select āPower on with mobileā and āIP remoteā enable.
Was able to automate turning on the TV with HA as expected after this.
My model is TQ55LS03BGUXXC.

Hi had to press twice on the on/off Control for my Samsung, until I set these parameters on the TV itself. Thanks to lechris-coder!
regrettably that doesnāt work for my UN50RU7100FXZA
Iāll have to try the wol rabbit hole.
[edit, just realized that wol probably wonāt work over wifi. I canāt hardwire my tv, yet]

hmā¦ thatās oddā¦ my SamsungTV is just too old, it seems^^
WOL semms not to work - and I donāt find any settings for this in the TV Settings.
TBH - the Firmware is from 2011 ā¦ maybe time, for a new TV ā¦ 
At least, I could now automate the other devices to turn on, if the TV will be turned on.
Better than nothing.
Iām having this issue too and would really appreciate some help having gone down many rabbit holes. I have a Samsung UN65NU8000 connected though LAN. The TV will turn off fine but wonāt turn on. Iāve enabled āPower On with Mobileā and āIP Remoteā on my TV settings as well as tried Wake On LAN. Screenshot below. Thanks in advance.
Wake On Lan Command:
I have a Samsung 8 Series (43) (UN43TU8000FXZA) that was recognized as soon as I started using Home Assistant (which was, honestly, a delightful surprise for me). The device (named Markās Monitor) has two entities:
- media_player.samsung_8ā¦
- remote.mark_s_monitor
I suspect the latter entity is the remote controller itself, but thatās the entity Iāve used in my automations turning on/off the monitor. As soon as a presence sensor detects that someone has walked into the room, the automation sends a āTurn on Markās Monitorā action to the device and the monitor turns on.
Hope that helps!
If your TV supports smart things, use the smart things integration, and it will work perfectly. had the same problem using the auto-discovered Samsung remote, and now Iām using the smart things integration, and it works perfectly
