Samsung Smart TV - No control?

Configuration
228

Hello, I’ve a 2019 55Q60 and jaruba repo works almost fine, the only problem I’m facing is that I get a notification every 10 seconds in my TV asking for permissions that I’ve already accepted. Also I deactivate notifications from the TV and stills showing…

Any ideas? thnx

Hello,

I managed to install https://github.com/xchwarze/ha-samsungtv-custom and gain some basic control over my Samsung TV RU8009. @xchwarze thank you so much for your work!

What works: select TV or Youtube App as Input, turn on and off and basic controls.
What does not work: select a specific HDMI channel as Input.

Questions:
How can I select a specific HDMI channel?
How can I obtain the app IDs for other apps like Youtube?

Also, can somebody link me how to add some custom buttons to lovelace or the media-control-card? The default card only features few buttons like play, pause, on, off etc.

Thank you so much!

Hi!
I upload a new version

Changelog:
Add debug info for help in creation of custom app_list
Add ON command support for legacy TVs (port 8001)
Add KEY_HDMI_FIX virtual key for emulate a double KEY_HDMI key press

Until Samsung does not publish all the commands of ms.remote.control this is all that can be done

238

thanks, is the ip address of the tv not pingable when turned off…it’s normal?

239

I think I remember that

@xchwarze now that the component that’s bundled in has been rewritten, with config flow and all, any chance to convince you to contribute to it so that it uses your library and supports more models?

241

Already exist a PR for that

And this PR use https://github.com/xchwarze/samsung-tv-ws-api as dependency

Reply to my own post… I still have this exact same issue with the latest (HACS installed) component. Tv only goes on, all other services I call gives me an approve promt on the tv but nothing happens… any hint?

244

I have been working on a smart things custom component that allows control of Samsung TV

You could try that and see if it works any better for you

245

Thank you, but I prefer not to have Samsung in between and keep local :slight_smile:

RM Mini 3
Reset the device , reconfigured , it learn and send commands!
Samsung tv , still no luck…
If someone want to try to understand commands
On app store there is an app called samsung smart view… this works flawless as a remote through wifi…

The procedure is:

  • delete any previous samsungtv_custom folder
  • delete any entry in configuration.yaml about said component
  • restart HA (optional)
  • copy the folder
  • restart HA
  • add the configuration you need to configuration.yaml

It worked for me.
