Samsung combined microwave & range hood

Third party integrations
1

I have a Samsung ME11A7710DS over-the-range microwave/range hood.

The HA SmartThings integration shows many sensors related to the microwave, and a single switch entity (which doesn’t appear to control any aspect of the device that I can observe).

I’d like the hood lamp and fan control to show up in HA. I can see them through the smartthings CLI as a subcomponent of the device, but no sign of them in HA.

> smartthings devices:commands [id] 'hood:samsungce.lamp:setBrightnessLevel("high")'
Command executed successfully

Is this something that could conceivably be provided by the SmartThings integration? Or is this a fundamentally different thing than what the integration supports? Presumably my other options are to write a small integration myself, or use the Command Line integration to make commands through the smartthings CLI?

Any pointers would be appreciated, thanks!

I also am trying to integrate my Samsung microwave into HA and am seeing the same thing as you are seeing. The switch toggle it provides seems to not control anything. Were you able to resolve your issue?

I was able to resolve this issue by following this post: Home Assistant | I just got a samsung smartthings connected microwave | Facebook

Create a Virtual Switch in the “Labs” area which triggers an automation to turn off and on the hood light.

The Virtual switches are presented to HA
