Samsung Hubitat TV Integration (2016 and later)

Cool, happy to do any debugging or testing. Let me know if I can pull any logs or other info.

It is a FrameTV 2020.

83

Uninstalled and reinstalled via HPM, but still having issues with the WOL. I don't see a location to enter a MAC address, only the IP. Is there a step that needs to be done besides getting a token in order to allow WOL to work correctly?

84
  1. year model on your TV?
  2. WiFi or cable LAN interface for your TV?

The MAC is captured after you set the IP address and do a save preferences. No need to enter the MAC manually. The captured MAC appears in the data section of the device's page.

Pardon my ignorance as a new Hubitat user, but I'm trying to set up an automation to my The Frame TV to turn on to Art Mode at sunrise and in Rule Machine do not see my TV listed in switches to toggle the on state.

However, if I use the Devices page or set a switch in a dashboard the power on/off toggle is working as expected.

If I could get a nudge in the right direction on how to find the switch/toggle/button code to set up in my Rule it would be much appreciated.

Welcome to the quagmire and I hope the community is helpful. I will be updating the driver today and add Capability "Switch".

Excellent! You are a fscking rockstar.

I installed this the other day and I haven’t played with it much yet.

I have a 2019 UN55RU7100 and for the first time since switching it from wifi to Ethernet I am able to turn the damn thing on remotely!! Outside of HE I previously attempted to use a magic packet WOL with no success so I am surprised that this is working. Awesome.

Ok my real question and I think I know the answer.

I added the device to the list of devices available to Alexa but the TV is not showing up in the Alexa app.

I assume it is not supported directly through this interface and I need to create virtual switches to trigger an RM to do the function I want.

I just originally assumed I could add the device directly to support on and off functions.

Using the alexa app or alexa skill in HE?

Nice to see progress being made on this! Being away from it for some time.

Please any luck/update with the Smartthings API inclusion? Would love to be able to see the current source and application running:

91

Just a heads up, I currently use HubConnect to get my TV info. I created a custom driver that has the inputSource and the tvChannelName (current app running). I also had to edit the HubConnect code in 1 location to deal with nulls (when no app is running, tvChannelName becomes null and HE doesn't like nulls so it gives it the previous value).

It had been working pretty well but for some reason, recently, HubConnect has been missing updates from the TV. In ST, I see the updates but not in my device in HubConnect. Before that, it worked perfectly. Can also share the driver info if you guys want.

@lewis.heidrick does yours (using the AVR driver) consistently update? Trying to understand why mine is misbehaving.

92

I haven't noticed any issues but I also don't really pay much attention to it. I spend too much time here on the forums to notice when something isn't working. It's usually my wife that lets me know if something isn't working.

93

Thanks. So you have your TV set up in ST? And in ST, can you see the current app running and the current input source?

94

Yes

Version 1.3.4 (NOW) adds Capability Switch. This will allow direct link to Alexa,

96

New BETA 1.3.4 Available. Addresses (attempts):

  • WiFI to/from Wired Interface: Updating MAC after converting wired to/from WiFi. Simply do a save preferences and the settings (including MAC) will update.
  • ArtMode: Toggle not working. Update preferences and try again. It may take two pushes to initialize the toggle (get the latest state).
    • Open: Getting artMode state directly from TV. Need code feedback with debug log while trying artMode. I think I found the issue, but.,,,,
  • Capability Switch: Enabled. Allows rule machine, Alexa, etc to access on/off function.

Paths, etc. are in top post of this thread.

Hint: There are three ways to update:

  • Use HPM
  • Copy file directly from GitHub Link
  • Open code in Hubitat editor and use Import function.

I should have been specific.

The Amazon Echo Skill and I should also note that I am in Canada and I know there are some differences between US and here.

Last note. I installed the Samsung TV os on the other hub connected via hub mesh.

99

Awesome !!!

Do you have a test sequence to help debug? I cycled between Art mode and TV mode a couple times with logging on, will send you logs in DM.

artModeStatus in the device page is populating now (used to just say NULL). It reports "on" when the device is actually in Art mode and also when the TV is on. There's a brief moment when you switch from TV to Art mode where the status will report NULL before switching to "on" again.

Let me know what other info you need. Thanks again, this is awesome.

Sorry guys, I lost you on the last few changes. How to I make a dashboard button to say power on or off since these command buttons interfaces have been removed?
