Just got a Samsung Q9FN, together with a Playstation 5. I have the TV connected to a Chromecast with Google TV, and the TV is connected to an external amplifier. So I have an issue where the volume on the Playstation 5 is way to high and I have to lower it manually each time.
Is it possible to use the Samsung integration to detect when a source is changed on the TV? And when the source is changed from HDMI1 to HDMI2 it should automatically lower the volume to a specific value. And the reverse when switching back.
I am trying to change tv channels to my Samsung Q7 series TV.
I have read instructions here Samsung Smart TV - Home Assistant but i am facing an issue when i try to call the media_player.play_media service, so i have only on/off and voice controll and no channels control.
Seems that i cant call media_player.play_media sevice - any help please ?
So I tried installing this one today. I can change the input to TV and HDMI, but to one of the apps doesn’t work.
This is my config:
media_player:
- platform: samsungtv_tizen
host: xx
mac: xx
api_key: "xx"
device_id: "xx"
app_list: '{"Netflix": "11101200001", "YouTube": "111299001912", "Plex": "3201512006963"}'
Changing from Plex to Youtube will change the source in the attributes to «Youtube» for a little while before it goes back to Plex. Nothing happens on the tv.
Since updating HA to 2021.11 my Samsung TV does not provide any API based info (like channel). The media_player entity also doesn’t list my specified apps. I’ve removed and reinstalled both this integration and the official Samsung integration. I thought it was related to the DLNA discovery initially, but disabling that made no difference either. Might try to revert to my previous installation to see if that works.
edit: Reverting to a previous installation was eventually a success. I had to create a new API key, but now things are back to functioning as they should.
Guys, i have an older samsung TV (pre-tizen) … is there actually a wa to play a youtube video on it? How?
if open youtube on my notebook (chrome browser), it recognizes the samsung tv, to play the youtube video on it… if i do that, i see the TV starting the youtube app… how todo that from HA?
I have tried to find a working integration for my Samsung Frame 2021. I have read that at least 2020 version works with this one. So I installed the integration via HACS, but for some reason I cannot configure it because it cannot be found from the integration list. Cannot figure out why is this. Can anyone help?
Ok, configuration succeeds but still problems. Basically the only thing (so far) I need this integration is that I would like to turn off some lights when TV is switched on. Unfortunately it seems that the integration fails to retrieve the on/off status from the TV. The power switch button works, but the status does not seem to update correctly. Interestingly right after configuration it seemed like it worked, but now it does not. I have read the Samsung TV smart pages and there are a lot of configurations that can be done, but I did not see anything obvious I should do. Can anyone help?
Maybe it’s a stupid question but how do you navigate the menus after selecting the source? There is a possibility to create a navigation panel with directional arrows?
is it possible to get an live entity picture?
Some other integration show the actual image in the media_player as an entity picture.
With this I could use it to create a diy ambilight with my ws2812b led stripes.
This issue can be fixed by using Smartthings to connect with the Samsung TV and then connect Smartthings to HA. This is a very high price to pay for connectivity to the TV. I wish i could get rig of my Smartthings hub.
You can read a lot of things - I will say that my 2019 works to display in HA when Netflix / Youtube / Spotify are playing but does not allow them to be chosen. I’ve tried all code that I can find in all combinations. I am NOT going down the “Key” setup. I am to old for that.
My LG work flawlessly
