Samsung Smart TV - No control?

Martin_Pejstrup · February 24, 2020, 5:18pm

Hi

I’ve installed @roberodin 's component and I have 2 questions:

Do I only get a remote entity? I was expecting a media.player.samsung_tv or something?
What card do people use in Lovelace UI? Anyone willing to share config/picture?

I have a QLED Q6

Thanks in advance

Hey @xchwarze, I’m having some trouble with the custom Samsung components. I’m currently using yours but I feel like I’ve tried them all, same result. I’ve got 2 Samsungs in my house but they both setup up just fine and behave On port 8002. But, when I turn them off and HA restarts, they disappear. Entities become unavailable. I’ve just tried updating the ping method with no change.

One is Wi-Fi, one is Ethernet. Same result. Wi-Fi is still active on my network when it’s off so it doesn’t appear to be a network sleep issue.

Running 0.106, also happened on 105.5

Really hoping you might have some insite

Thank you,

Linton

Hi!
I running 0.106.2 and setup the tv in config.yml and all work fine

Thanks @xchwarze, they are micalously surviving a reboot now, no idea why

I do Sometimes have some trouble with on/off or heavy delays to do so.

I get a lot of task exceptions like this at boot:

Any idea what this? I’ll try and capture the next exception logs that appear when trying to do things

Thank you very much

Yes I have A LOT of those errors too…

Jan_Willem_Maas · March 13, 2020, 5:34pm

Hi xchwarze,

Does your Samsung custom component work with pre 2016 models?
Have you for implemented the “key_press” functionality for all the remote buttons?

The custom component I used stopped working recently after upgrading to the most recent HA version. I have now switched to the standard version, but find that the functions are too limited. Have you for instance implemented the “key_press” functionality for all the remote buttons? This service is not available in the standard version.

DudeShemesh · March 20, 2020, 9:44am

@xchwarze
Thanks for all your contributions. I tried my (European) MU7003 with the official component that’s now based on your lib, but it’s not supported. Any idea what’s needed to make it work?

Thanks!

DudeShemesh · March 23, 2020, 5:29pm

OK, that ended up being a bug in the component, and was fixed in a minor version.

Jan_Willem_Maas · March 27, 2020, 5:26pm

I have used this successfully for a few years, but the standard SamsungTV component was recently updated, and this key service no longer works for some reason. Have you found a solution for this by any change? All my SamsungTV scripts use this “key” service! It is brilliant.

Holdestmade · March 28, 2020, 12:17pm

Just found this on HACS, I’ve tried lots but this is the only one that has worked for me for 2 TVs:

Drywcyfyr · March 28, 2020, 4:51pm

I haven’t. I can’t remember what drove me over the edge but I ended up buying a harmony hub back in 2018. I saw the recent update to the samsung tv component and attempted to use it to integrate my tv directly, but still no luck with my particular model.

Jan_Willem_Maas · March 28, 2020, 6:11pm

The standard Samsungtv component works for a limited set of commands in my setup. But I would like to use “send_key”, but for some reason this is not added as a service and therefore generates an error. I do not know enough how to add that service myself. Do you know how by any chance?

venkattetali · April 2, 2020, 9:49pm

hello every one
i have a samsung tv UA50MU6100 connected to ha without any custom components.
first of all ,my tv worked only after updated my ha version to latest.
So, now the problem are

I cannot switch on my tv with HA but i can turn it off
My tv status in lovelace card is unavaible some times and comes again
Source list shows me only “TV,HDMI” only
Text to speak doesnt work

so now how can i make

tv stable
edit source list and add youtube,netflex,prime etc
Text to speak work

and sorry i forgot the existing ones like volume,mute works fine
thank you

thmry · April 11, 2020, 11:21am

Yeah, same here. While earlier versions of jaruba have worked the same TV. His versions stopped working two months ago. This version does seem to work, however the setup is completely different.

RKor · April 11, 2020, 10:55pm

I have an NU8000, and while the integration works now in showing me the state on/off. It does not show if it’s streaming or anything is playing…

This is a very handy aspect for me, does anyone know of a custom component that shows when you start to play something from Netflix or YouTube for example?

ImNightwing · April 18, 2020, 5:25pm

I have this same issue. TV and HDMI only, where i used to have full control for all the sources. it worked magically. then i updated to 0.108.3 (last i saw it working was a really long time ago)

venkattetali · April 19, 2020, 4:13am

hey
i solved my issue with custom component installed via HACS
search for SamsungTV Tizen in hacs or installed it via manual method your problem will be solved

barqers · April 23, 2020, 1:52am

I just installed this via HACS but when I set this up via the GUI it freezes home assistant until I manually restart the docker and then it never completes. Does anyone else have that issue?

Martinvdm · May 10, 2020, 4:33pm

Is there some explanation why I should choose this xchwarze version of SamungTv or why I should choose for the version of Jaruba or Ollo96 or roberodin version?

brazil885 · June 17, 2020, 1:24pm

hi guys, I have a QE55Q7FNA that I can’t integrate, until a few days ago SAMSUNG TIZEN worked, but now it doesn’t work. which one could I use for my TV?
