Samsung Family Hub Refrigerator

This is cool. I will have to get Card-Mod setup soon.

What’s up with the built in integration for the cameras:

I can’t get that to work. I know I have the IP correct, and I tried adding a name: too. I would like to be able to display the cameras on the fridge screen, through HA, in a much nicer way than Samsung.

I noticed none of you had that in your pictures… but it seems so obvious to me. Unless it was broken with a Samsung update and will never work again… but then why isn’t that HA page updated to say so?

Can someone please try to get that to work for them and report back?

I figured it all out. Add this repo to HACS and you are good to go:

Took a different approach. Using the SharpTools.io add-on to create the dashboard on my fridge.
It works pretty well, except I have to manually refresh the page after the fridge wakes up from the screensaver.

Does anyone know of a way to wake up the display after it has gone into screensaver mode (other than opening the fridge or touching the screen) ? The maximum setting for the screensaver to start is 5 mins which is too short. It would be nice if I could wake the screen somehow remotely, then I could have the screen come on when someone enters the room for example.

Good news: With the latest Family Hub Update it is finally possible to switch the browser to fullscreen mode! :slight_smile:

Edit: Damn, after returning from standby the fullscreen mode is gone

Edit2: It seems, that this only if any Lockscreen of Family Hub is used. It’s like opening another app which exits the fullscreen Mode. So if you disable the lockscreen it seems to work now.

How are you entering this full screen mode?

With Javascript, there are also HACS addons to have this. But this is not a good solution, because I found out, that the fullscreen mode is exited after some time.

So currently it is enough to open the Home Assistant dashboard URL in the Family Hub Internet Browser and use your finger to swipe the page up (even if there is no scrolling on the page). Then the UI is hidden (like on your smartphone’s internet browser). But after some time the UI also appears back. So there is no longtime solution yet, but still better than previous Family Hub version. It’s a shame what Samsung is doing, or better say not doing, with Family Hub. There is no support, no apps, no developers and the software feels 10 years old.

Anyone know how to solve this? My HA instance is showing up but I can’t add my credentials. Nothing happens when I press the fields or the button
