Samsung tv control

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Hi guys,
I’ve recently purchased a 55mu6120 4K Samsung I’m not able to turn on or off or do anything with the volume.

Does anyone know how I can get this working?

I have a 49MU6179 4k and only things possible are

  • turn it on (but not off)
  • change volume
  • mute

My setup:

media_player:
  - platform: samsungtv
    host: 192.168.XX.XX
    port: 8001

I am using the 0.64.2 Docker image currently, for dedicated installs you need to install websocket-client package for python. See docs

How do you install the websocket of hassio?
Mines running on a rpi

Don’t know. My homeassistant is running on a RPi too, but using the dedicated Docker image, not hass.io. Websocket module is probably already installed with hass.io

I don’t think it is as my setting match yours
I can see if the tv is on or off yet i can’t control anything

if you insert mac address in other to ip in config.yaml you can control volume, mute and track up/down too
