My son has a Samsung Smart Tv - Samsung 6 Series (55) (UA55MU6100). It is connected to our LAN at home. I have done nothing to set it up in home assistant (6.0 on hassbian). However it turns up on the home assistant front end, often multiple times. I have not been able to isolate what makes more instances, but I have seen up to 10 instances of it.
In the states page in the frontend it presently shows:
media_player.samsung_6_series_55_ua55mu6100 off friendly_name: Samsung 6 Series (55) (UA55MU6100) supported_features: 17721 media_player.samsung_6_series_55_ua55mu6100_2 off friendly_name: Samsung 6 Series (55) (UA55MU6100) supported_features: 17721
Frankly I don’t care if this TV shows up at all in HA. My son is a sorta adult and I have no interest in knowing what he is watching, or in turning his TV on or off to annoy him.
So the point of my post is to:
-
Draw attention to this bug, and
-
See if there is any way to stop it showing up at all (given that it is being auto-detected by HA).
Thanks in advance.
