That might be the right approach, and there is a precedent with Pioneer and Onkyo, where the former component only works for older pioneer models, and the latter works for the newer ones.
The main question, I guess, is whether you have the motivation to integrate this into Home Assistant. I’m more than happy to try to help, but eventually you know your component best.
I think i dont have time to do all the unit test needed for make the PR
Anyway, I’m still working on this. I have some ideas that I want to try
I like the approach that @roberodin is taking by including a config option for protocol. We can have multiple options there that can take care of the different options. It will be great if that branch can be bought up to speed with the latest fixes in the @xchwarze branch.
Most televisions are Tizen, so I don’t think is a good idea to mix the components
Samsung TV SDK (4.x - 5.x)—> Legacy https://github.com/Ape/samsungctl/
Samsung Tizen (beta - 1.0) —> Broken?
Samsung Tizen (2.0 to present) —> WS (API V2) https://github.com/xchwarze/samsung-tv-ws-api
installed latest version and works good so far on cable.,has held the state as well.
Thanks again!
I can help with tests.
Also, there’s other work being done, maybe you can integrate your changes into that?
Hi,
I am trying to integrate my samsung UE55NU8002 and get “Failed to call service media_player/turn_off. timed out”. I tried 8001 port and 8002 but without lack on both components: samsungtv and samsungtv_custom
NMAP shows:

Any suggestion what can be wrong?
What other files are in your samsungtv_custom folder? you should have:
media_player.py
_ init _.py (without the spaces)
manifest.json
Looking at the LS command you ran on the folder, It looks as if there are only 2 files there. If it cant detect the “manifest.json” it wont know which requirements is needed for the component to work
"requirements": [
"samsungtvws[websocket-client]==1.1.3", //this seems to be what your missing?
"wakeonlan==1.1.6"
],
Hi pegatron89
I have
Maybe I should mentio that I use docker version for HA
Ok, I have found one thing. Pegatron89 you pointed me to pycache and I changed owner to my user for ha and now it generally works! Only “On” not work, “Off”, “Volume” works fine.
Mac adresss is correct one

Any help greatly appreciated 
For what it is worth I have tried a KS7000 which will switch on… thats about as much as I can get out of it. I also have a Q6F which I’ve only managed to get to work with the fork of this code in
Hopefully it helps.
Has anyone managed to control the Ambient mode through HA? Would be nice to integrate that.

I have the same error and i tried deleting “pycache” numerous times too and dont worked here.
My HA is running in Synology too.

I had this problem too. Fixed by:
- Delete pycache folder
- Open terminal and type
pip3 install samsungtvws - Remove the ‘samsungtv_custom’ section from configuration.yaml and restart HA
- Add ‘samsungtv_custom’ section back into configuration.yaml
- Restart HA again
Cant get it working.
Latest HASS
Latest from https://github.com/roberodin/ha-samsungtv-custom
Listening on port 8001
TV: Samsung The Frame 55 inch
Can turn on, but nothing else…
Failed to call service media_player/turn_off. {‘event’: ‘ms.channel.unauthorized’}
Any tips?
EDIT:
some more ino…
I have changed to port 8002 now:
- platform: samsungtv_custom
host: 192.168.1.134
port: 8002
mac: 00:c3:f4:b1:b0:84
sourcelist: ‘{“TV”: “KEY_TV”, “HDMI”: “KEY_HDMI”, “ONKYO”: “KEY_HDMI4”}’
protocol: ctl_qled
name: Samsung The Frame
But I cannot control it again. only turn on. What is strange: if I press on HA “the on button” here:
the accept dialog on the TV appears and I click “accept”
Bu nothing happens and I can continue to do that… click on, accept, on accept, etc…

How do you do this for Docker?
Hi @Saggerus, I got your solution to work and I’m getting a bit further now. The following applies to Synology Docker users:
- Delete pycache folder
- Go into “Docker” in Synology". Go into your “Containers” and open up your Home Assistant Container. Go to the “Terminal” Menu tap and Choose the down arrow beside “Create” and choose “Launch with command”. Paste in “pip3 install samsungtvws” and press “OK”
- Remove the ‘samsungtv_custom’ section from configuration.yaml and restart HA
- Add ‘samsungtv_custom’ section back into configuration.yaml
- Restart HA again
I’m no longer getting the error
Platform error media_player.samsungtv_custom - No module named ‘samsungtvws’
But i’m now getting the following error:

Any help or suggestions as ever are greatly appreciated!
Hi, great component and working pretty well for me on my new Q70 and lets me switch between apps. I’m in Australia and we have a video app called “Stan”. Any way I can grab the code for that app somehow and modify the application.py so I can start it up?
While app switching works well, any of the other controls I try, on/off, play even volume etc pop up the “you must give permission” dialogue box on the TV but doesn’t seem to actually do anything?
Cheers
