Samsung TV Tizen HACS Integration

Third party integrations
1

I’ve installed the Samsung Tizen integration from HACS, but when I go to add it in HA Configuration Integrations tab, it’s not listed. I’ve rebooted (even power cycled) several times without success. The UniFi Protect app did not have this problem.

Any hints what might be going on? I’m new to this, so most likely it’s my error. I’m using a Odroid HA Blue device.

You need to review the docs:

Some HACS integrations allow you to set them up in the HA Integrations UI but others like this one require yaml so add something like the following to your configuration.yaml but make the necessary changes for your IP and MAC address:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
  - platform: samsungtv_tizen
    host: IP_ADDRESS
    mac: MAC_ADDRESS

Good luck though, I have tried many times to get my Samsung TV working reliably but never suceeded.

Yea, I’m finding it really hard to get it to work. I was able to register 2 TV’s with the Samsung TV integration (the one available outside of HACS), but I’m unable to turn off the TV with it.

What TV works best with HA?

1.Use Cabel not WIFI
2. HA - samsung https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/samsungtv/
My TV samsung floorplan animations https://community.home-assistant.io/t/floorplan-animations/351520/2
or
Use Smarthings app + HA https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/smartthings/

My TV’s are all hardwired. I’m not sure if they are compatible with Smartthings. They’re all from 2016, so I may have TV’s that just aren’t compatible.

I’m able to add 2 of my TV’s, but not the third. Of the 2 I’m able to add, it’s reading everything correctly, but none of the commands work.

Hello ,
I am not sure if you were able to resolve your issue. but as of now the Best solution is the HACS integration from Jaruba. [Samsung TV Tizen HACS Integration]

So after installing it you have to go to your file editor and imput that

media_player:

  • platform: samsungtv_tizen
    host: IP_ADDRESS
    mac: MAC_ADDRESS

Forget for now the HA integration. just use that one.

Im reading and been bussy for some weeks now. I cant find proper easy info about how to set this up.

Now i putted the following in my configuration.yaml:

    media_player:
      - platform: samsungtv_tizen
        name: "TV beneden"
        host: xxx.xx.x.x
        mac: 64:xx:xx:xx:xx
        app_list: '{"Netflix": "11101200001", "YouTube": "111299001912", "Spotify": "3201606009684"}'

Where can i find this one now? If i use media player card i cannot find this one. Im lost. For a newbie the documentation on the hacs is hard to understand.

Im bussy to make a button that opens spotify on my Samsung tv and starts playing music. But i can just put my tv on and off with the standard samsung integration.
