Samsung TV integration Question -- Driver info starting post 127

I will be following this thread with intense interest. I am so happy to see this development in progress so thank you!!

I have 4 Samsung TVs 2018+ and have tried everything under the sun to integrate reliably without success. Due to time constraints involving my day job I cannot test this for about a week. Should I assume that all TVs must be configured for WiFi and not LAN to enable the power on command? WOL never worked reliably in my prior testing but I can confirm that once I configured the TVs to use WiFi I am able to use the new Samsung app to power on the TVs from an off state reliably for the first time (and this is only recently).

108

I have only tried on WiFi, not on wired connection. I will test tomorrow on wired.

Doesn‘t work for me on 2017 model:(
Log is as follows:
The device toket in the device section is: 12345678. Is that correct? And the popup on the tv is missing

I will have to fix the code. The value for Token support is incorrect causing the error.

WoL over LAN cable doesn't work on my 2020 Samsung and ASUS router.

Update to hopefully correct problem on 2017 model.

Updated code. Update driver only and save preferences.
Link to driver code (can use import button on driver's edit page).

Changes:

  • Correction for tokenSupport = null
  • Additional logging on setup to catch other errors.
  • Tweaked Art Mode commands to increase time from command to closing the socket to 10 seconds
  • Added more test commands:
    • A You Tube
    • commands to emulate TV, HDMIn keys.
      • A Source0 - should get you to source TV
      • A Source1 - should get you to the item immediately left of TV on the source list.
      • A Source2
      • A Source 3
      • A Source 4

Tested by reinstalling and testing keys on my 2015 and 2020 TV with expected results;

  • 2020 - works as planned
  • 2015
    • Device data updates as expected
    • WebSocket interface as expected (get errors on menu commands (2015 is not supported using this interface)).

Dave

Requirements:

  • Model Years 2016 - 2020
  • Need Node JS server for 2018 and later (can be tested on your pc/laptop)

Data and Instructions Location:

Request: need install log file for 2016 thru 2018 tv's and confirmation if it works. We have already tested on 2019/2020 models.

What I am see is that your device supports tokens. The code is trying to go to port 8002. In your browser:

  • enter "https://IPADDRESS:8002/api/v2/
  • You may have to accept the invalid certificate (this is safe) or accept the action on your TV.
  • Copy the results back to me.

You may have to install the nodeJS server. You can do this to your PC laptop temporarily. See installation instructions provided at site.

117

Once you get all the bugs worked out, any plans for nodejs on a raspberry pi? I don't really want to keep my pc running all day.

118

Lewis,

It is designed to work on a raspberry pi, pc, or any viable NodeJS platform. In the past, I even successfully ran on a Amazon Fire Tablet (TP-Link Kasa Integration). Setting up the pi is out of my expertise.
My use of the PC is for developmental purposes. A quick interface to modify the node applet as changes are necessary. The node app is pretty stable. Needs a few lockouts to avoid one error - but that is mostly in my chaotic development environment. Then modify logging for main events and errors only. However, I may change the applet to a webSocket interface.

Currently, I am in both a development and external testing. I have a 2020 standard and @Cal has a 2019 Frame TV. We are adding new - type functions (a few a day - like running youTube and browser yesterday) while testing on other years to expand the envelop. Also refining edits and assuring a relatively stable baseline. BUT - I need help on earlier models (2016, 2017, and 2018) to assure implementation.

119

I've just installed this driver and it seems to work OK on my 2016 Samsung UE49KU6400. I've only tested the Mute command as my wife is watching the TV at the moment. If there is anything you want me to try or any log details you want, I'm happy to help.

120

When you get time, try some of the other commands and see if the TV reacts. For example:
menu
exit
exit
home

OK.
Have you installed the node.js app on a pc or raspberry pi and started that app? You need to do that to proceed. Instructions are at the my code site.

All the following commands worked fine:

home
menu
exit
vol up
vol down
mute
channel up
channel down
channel list
previous channel
enter
guide
hdmi (cycles through available HDMI connections)
numeric keypad
arrow up/down/left/right
source0/1/2/3/4 commands
On/Off
launch browser
Send key command worked with MUTE as the text. I don't know any others to try

The only commands that did nothing were the Art Mode on/off/status but I don't even know that my TV has that as a function. I have no idea what it is if it does!

Great work.

124

I think art mode is for the frame tv's.

Do you have an instruction for Raspberry?
Unfortunately I don’t have a Windows OS at home.

126

Great. The 2016's work. I will be providing an initial release next week or so and now I know it works on 2016 + commands. With that will be an explanation of the keys as well as a way to integrate with dashboards.

Thanks for the assist.

Dave
