Samsung Tizen Support

and how can i get around this with hass.io installation?

kurniawan77 · August 30, 2017, 8:39am

I would like to know too. Hass.io autodiscovered my Samsung TV but I can’t do anything. Can’t even find it in the config.yaml.

loki · August 30, 2017, 9:28am

i disabled discovery for samsung_tv and added it manualy, changed the port to the newer one and so the on/off state works great but i can’t controll it with hass.io.

kurniawan77 · August 30, 2017, 3:07pm

from what i read here https://home-assistant.io/components/media_player.samsungtv/, is that we need to do pip3 install websocket-client so i connect with putty and gave this command. Then i get this error:
core-ssh:~# pip3 install websocket-client -ash: pip3: not found
i believe we cannot do this with hassio but then how can we have the samsung tv platform working?

Any dev that might have an answer?

@Jonny_Davey got a way here:

It works for me!

I can power it on and off, adjust the volume, mute and unmute. While on Netflix i can use the fast forward and rewind button but the play button doesn’t appear. It does when it’s off… kinda odd.

Model: Samsung 6 Series (60) (UE60KU6000)

configuration.yaml

media_player:
  - platform: samsungtv
    host: 192.168.129.20
    port: 8001
    mac: b8:bb:af:de:0f:36
    name: Living Room TV

It would be great if we could control the play/ pause too and see on what source the tv is to get some fun automtion like when watching netflix, dim the lights or set a scene!

Can i report this on git?

loki · September 5, 2017, 7:53am

@kurniawan77 not bad, my UE55J5670 won’t do anything.

config looks like yours.

I was hoping for the same functionality. Just having a simple on/off status is kind of useless to automate anything for me.

I have a 2016 Tizen, Model UN65KS850D
using samsungctl from my debian laptop i get the same results as i get from my raspberry pi HA installation. (0.51.2). Which leads me to believe the problem lies with samsungctl and not HA’s integration of it.

I can browse to my tv and get all the info about it via http://192.168.22.6:8001/api/v2/.

~$ samsungctl --host 192.168.22.6 --method websocket --interactive --port 8001
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/root/.local/bin/samsungctl”, line 11, in
sys.exit(main())
File “/home/root/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/samsungctl/main.py”, line 101, in main
with Remote(config) as remote:

raise exceptions.UnhandledResponse(response)
samsungctl.exceptions.UnhandledResponse: {‘event’: ‘ms.channel.timeOut’}

I’m a decent tech, but a fairly novice scripter. Anything I can provide to help troubleshoot, i’d be happy to do.

Whats strange is OpenHab’s implementation works as a remote

pbadmin · September 27, 2017, 9:22am

Hi.
I have a Samsung UE55KU6000 and Home Assistant (HASSBIAN, not HASS.io)
I had the same problem, ImportError: No module named ‘websocket’
We are working in a virtualenv and the command sudo pip3 install websocket installs the module in the system instead of the virtualenv. If I activate the virtualenv and try to install the module I get a “permission denied”.
Inside de virtualenv with sudo the module is installed again in outside of the virtualenv.

I got it working:with the next steps.

Connect to the virtualenv:
source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate
Set permissions for the user ‘pi’ so we can install without sudo.
sudo chown pi:pi -R /srv/homeassistant/lib
sudo chown pi:pi -R /srv/homeassistant/include
Install websocket modules
pip3 install websocket
pip3 install websocket-client
Set permissions back for the user ‘homeassistant’
sudo chown homeassistant:homeassistant -R /srv/homeassistant/lib
sudo chown homeassistant:homeassistant -R /srv/homeassistant/include
You can check if module is properly installed in your virtualenv
pip3 freeze

If you have more errors due to permissions in another folder, chown is your way to go.
I hope this helps someone, cheers.

edit:

With these 2 commands works too.

   source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate
   sudo /srv/homeassistant/bin/pip3 install websocket
   sudo /srv/homeassistant/bin/pip3 install websocket-client

After doing the above how did you set up your Samsung TV? Is it normal i.e. adding the samsung TV component in your configuration.yaml?

Thanks.

UPDATE:

I followed your method and it doesn’t work for me.
Get the same warning issues:

WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.media_player] Updating samsungtv media_player took longer than the scheduled update interval 0:00:10

firstof9 · September 27, 2017, 5:28pm

Step 0: sudo bash -u homeassistant -H /bin/bash

Then you can skip step 2 and step 4.

Enjoy!

pbadmin · September 28, 2017, 7:15pm

Thanks!!! I’ll try next time.

pbadmin · September 28, 2017, 9:13pm

firstof9 · September 28, 2017, 9:17pm

sudo bash -u homeassistant -H /bin/bash
source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate
pip3 install websocket
pip3 install websocket-client
pip3 freeze

Captura2

I started with a fresh installation.
