The default Samsung TV component (and my custom extension) both turn my TV on fine. Maybe you’re referring to this?
KEY_POWER
- turns the TV off but not on which is why I include my mac address for wake-on-lan.
My TV does not accept incoming network requests when it’s turned off which is why I can’t use KEY_POWER to turn it on.
Right I guess we have the same issue then. I even tried using the volume but it doesn’t work for me. However your component does detect when I turn my on or off from the remote.
@bachoo786 - Is there a reason you don’t want to use the wake-on-lan functionality provided by the Samsung-TV component?
@Drywcyfyr sorry how do I use that? Because with the Samsung component I can only determine the status of my tv and nothing else I can’t control it.
@bachoo786 - I guess it’s not guaranteed to work on all models but when I provide my TV’s mac address in its configuration, the samsungtv component will fire a wake-on-lan packet when I call the media_player.turn_on service.
media_player:
- platform: samsungtv
host: 192.168.178.XX
port: 8001
name: “TV2”
mac: “xx:xx:xx:xx:xx”
I have the same configuration but it doesnt work for me, my tv is 2015 model.
However I have tried the openhab addon and works for me. I heard they use java which would need to be ported to python for it to work.
Hey, did you manage to get the commands to switch HDMI inputs?
It is possible to set the HDMI input over UPnP. I don’t know if newer Samsung TVs has still the API, but on older TVs (2012, 2013) it was possible. The “MainTVAgent2” UPnP-service has the method “SetMainTVSource”. Also there are several other methods like “SetMainTVChannel”, “SetVolume”, “Play”, “Pause”, “Stop”, etc. I used gupnp-tools on Ubuntu to discover the services and play around with them.
I have Samsung 2011 ue40d6100sw is determined by HA but constantly shows that is turned off.
media_player: - platform: samsungtv host: 192.168.13.99 mac: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx port: 8001
Who can tell me what the problem is?
Thank you so much, my friend. Temporarily question decided to =)
How/where do I implement this code for KEY_“XX” sends?
I’m not sure where to add or find the custom_components/media_player/ folder.
Any insights would be appreciated!
EDIT
I think I’ve worked it out. The folders need to be created in /config.
I get “ms.channel.unauthorized” when connecting to Samsung TV UE55NU6035 and I haven’t been able to figure it out.
Here are the logs when pressing the on/off button in the UI:

I got this as well when pressing the on/off.
Samsung Tv Nu8000 (2018)
media_player:
- platform: samsungtv
host: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

mac: 64:1c:ae:11:14:d5After Update to 0.91.0 changing the Line 11 to
import homeassistant.components.samsungtv.media_player as stv
does the trick and the component is working again
greetings
where is the file where you changed?
In my setup this is the media_player.py file which is located in the custom_components/samsungtv_custom directory.
Hi,
I wonder what to do about the warnings I am getting that for all custom components all dependencies need to be included in the custom component. Which files should we move to the samsungtv_custom directory? How should the includes change in the media_player.py file which contains the samsungtv_custom code?
I tried this but not much luck. I do see the TV comes, but it takes like 3-5 minutes before that happens and when turning my tv off manually, HA doesn’t reflect that. I do also get errors when trying to set the Voume:
