Samsung TV 2014 H Series not working

cjsimmons · March 9, 2020, 4:39am

Wow!! Finally something with some potential. It kinda works for me. I have a UA60H6400.

Power Off does not work
Only have TV and HDMI as sources. This seems consistent with all other Samsung TV components I have tried with my other Samsung D6600 TV.
This I just cannot work out
It seems to timeout and stops working. I have to turn off, which doesn’t work, and wait for it to detect the TV is on for it to work again.
I don’t use mute/volume keys on this TV, so would be good to be able to hide those controls.

The development of this component was moved to: https://github.com/sermayoral/ha-samsungtv-encrypted

You guys may also to try my fork from the HACS one. https://github.com/StevusPrimus/ha-samsungtv-custom/tree/H-J-Models-integration . Works with my UE55H6600. Please vote for my pull request https://github.com/roberodin/ha-samsungtv-custom/pull/42 if you tested it working

What just happened with repo? It was 2.0, and then 1.0 was released about 30 minutes ago.

sermayoral · March 17, 2020, 9:42pm

Sorry I had a problem with HACS, so I had to remake the repository again…

Now available again and …

WE ARE IN HACS!!!

Please help me, i get the message:

from . import crypto

ValueError: Attempted relative import in non-package

what do i wrong?

I’m sure this is a stupid question, but…
I already installed SamsungTV Encrypted using HACS, but I’m stuck in the first step of the configuration:

Use get_token.py to get your Samsung TV token (use --port 8080). Store CTX and <SESSION_ID> output. Your TV must be turned on and connected to Internet with the specific IP. Terminal where you have executed get_token.py will ask for a PIN, that will be showed in your TV screen.

How do I execute get_token.py???

sermayoral · March 20, 2020, 9:08pm

You need to have Python installed.

I want to do anything in the custom in order to execute the get_token.py script for you

ForumUser · March 21, 2020, 8:52am

StevusPrimus,
have downloaded your component, and am playing around with it to work an H series tv. Have configured as per your readme file, using the following in my configuration.yaml:

media_player:
  - platform: samsungtv_custom
    host: !secret samsungtv_IP
    port: 8001
    mac: !secret samsungtv_MAC
    protocol: ctl_beta
    token: !secret samsungtv_token
    id: !secret samsungtv_id

When the server (v0.107) starts, I get an config err

Invalid config for [media_player.samsungtv_custom]: [token] is an invalid option for [media_player.samsung_custom]. Check media_player.samsungtv_custom->token. (See ?, line?)

Any ideas on how to resolve (or even start troubleshooting)?

sermayoral · March 22, 2020, 2:14am

What component have you installed?

Mine would be:

media_player:
  - platform: samsungtv_encrypted
  ...

Johann_Edelmuller · March 22, 2020, 12:55pm

I can not get the token from tv

Host must be an IP, like 192.168.1.XX

andrepia · March 24, 2020, 12:23am

Hi! Is there any way to define entity name for the entities created by samsungtv_encrypted?
I have 2 Samsung TVs and got them working with this setup:

media_player:
  - platform: samsungtv_encrypted # Samsung TV da Sala
    host: !secret samsungtv_encrypted_sala_host
    token: !secret samsungtv_encrypted_sala_token
    sessionid: !secret samsungtv_encrypted_sala_sessionid
    port: !secret samsungtv_encrypted_sala_port

  - platform: samsungtv_encrypted # Samsung TV da Suite
    host: !secret samsungtv_encrypted_suite_host
    token: !secret samsungtv_encrypted_suite_token
    sessionid: !secret samsungtv_encrypted_suite_sessionid
    port: !secret samsungtv_encrypted_suite_port

These were the entities after setup:

media_player.samsung_tv_remote = Family Room TV
media_player.samsung_tv_remote_2 = Bedroom TV

But after I restarted HA, they changed entities names and messed up the automations, Lovelace cards, etc…:

media_player.samsung_tv_remote = Bedroom TV
media_player.samsung_tv_remote_2 = Family Room TV

Johann_Edelmuller · March 24, 2020, 5:48am

This is my ip

python3 get_token.py -ip 192.168.1.118 -port 8080

StevusPrimus · March 24, 2020, 8:59am

@andrepia Please try:
name:

At least in the code I see that the property name exists and is filled with “Samsung TV Remote” by default

StevusPrimus · March 24, 2020, 11:32am

hi @ForumUser,

you may have done just a clone and not change the branch. I merged my chenges into my master so a git pull should fix it.

andrepia · March 24, 2020, 11:49am

@StevusPrimus
Great!! It worked!!
Thank you!!!

trient · March 24, 2020, 1:57pm

For me the syntax that worked was python ./custom_components/samsungtv_encrypted/get_token.py -ixxxxxx -p8080 (I used my tv’s local hostname, so the parameter to -i doesn’t have to be an IP)

Johann_Edelmuller · March 24, 2020, 4:22pm

No

@StevusPrimus
I’ve been downloading the zip file from the website link you posted, and get a similar file whether I select master or “H-J-Models-Integration”. I then get a file downloaded called ha-samsungtv-custom-H-J-Models-integration.zip

I load the relevant directory into custom_components

A server restart yields a config error. Forcing my host to kill and restart the docker container, starts the container but an error occurs on boot. I suspect the relevant part of the error stack is

File "/config/custom_components/samsungtv_custom/media_player.py", line 84, in <module>                                                        
     vol.Optional(CONF_ID): cv.string,                                                                                                          
NameError: name 'CONF_ID' is not defined

The boot then fails, and I can’t restart until I delete the samsuntv_custom custom_component.

Thanks for your help, and your efforts in trying to get this working.
