Hopefully, Samsung figured out a way to process this out in smartThings.
Want to have fun, look at the SmartThing phone app status. Turn the set on for several minutes and then back on in 10 seconds or so via the remote. SmartThings takes several minutes to detect on again (on my TV anyway). Cause is the powerState being called from the TV set is in standby while it closes out the previous on state. (yes, the samsungTV device handler polls the tv frequently for critical changes (power, inputSource, tvChannel, etc) but not for everything (volume, mute, etc). Go figure).
Funny. I find when my TV is connected to Hubitat through SmartThings, I get switch state updates within milliseconds of turning it on or off, and response time in the app is usually pretty snappy.
When I turn my TV off, it decides to tell SmartThings not only that it's off, but that it's completely offline. I can't control it from the app until I turn it on with the remote again. The SmartThings app says that this can happen when the TV is connected over Ethernet (which mine is), but not if it's connected over WiFi. Of course, my TV can't maintain a stable WiFi connection, even though it's about 20 feet from the router in the same room...
@djgutheinz is the link in the original post for your drivers where I should be watching for the driver you mentioned for the fridge? Forgot to ask this before.
Beyond turning it off, probably not. I never used the app much anyway.
To get on/off status notifications that are timely and accurate (I found that my TV is neither with local control, but both with cloud control) and be able to turn it off from Hubitat. It's not high on my list of critical automations, so I'm willing to have it fail if the cloud or internet is down if it means it will work better when everything is working properly (the vast majority of the time). It's also why the Replica Switch driver serves my purposes well enough.
Update to the Samsung TV Driver.
Fixed logic error not caught in developer test
Expanded options for power-on default display settings (ambient, frame_art, HDMI, TV, etc)
Hi,
I would like to know more about the replica smartthings hub device… I saw the option that HE hub can match the st hub mode or the st hub can match he hub mode… but what ist it? Mode name will match? Or the active mode will match? And if so how it recognize the good mode to match?
You should have similar modes on ST and HE. It does allow you to create and/or delete modes on ST from the DH.
You can then select HE->ST and/or ST->HE mode matching individually. If there is a mode name not matching, it would just ignore.
Maybe a grumpy answer, but please try it before asking questions. Not sure why a blind question to waste others time when you can use your time to figure it out. You are not paying anything ... and my time is valuable too. Just saying.
Thanks but I was not sure how to test since I was not sure if it was for creating mode or setting mode and I use a lot webcore and I have not transferred everything yet… so That s why I ask before to do it, my setup is pretty complicated with a lot of web request and online virtual things.. etc so I worry about results…
Sorry to make you lost your time by posting a question!
If your SmartThings phone interface has the function "Go To Multiroom App", then this driver is very limited in functions. Another driver is available at [Release] Samsung Multiroom WiFi Audio.
NOT TESTED: Audio Notification and Input Source function. My Multiroom soundbar does not support these through SmartThings.
Example audio test url's are in the comments at the top of the driver.
Is it possible to have RGB light bulbs virtual driver and ST Presence Sensor Virtual driver ? I am using Sylvania RGB light that works better with ST Hub.
Im grtting the following app error after setup of the Samsung TV device. HubiThings Replica asyncHttpPostCallback setSmartDeviceCommand status:422 reason:Unprocessable Entity
@CAL.hub . If you have the device in the HubiThings Replica already, go down to the"Device Details" section. In the "data" section there is a lot of data. I need a copy of the data element "description". Private Message this to me as TEXT (not a screen capture). Then I can see what any tweaking potential.
The section will look something like the below image:
