Is it by chance a 2020 tv? If so, you can connect it direct to Alexa. Direct Alexa integration works around Smartthings ---

Have you tried changing your voice assistant on the TV to Alexa? Go to settings\>general\>voice and you can try it there ---

Once it’s added to the SmartThings app and you add the SmartThings Alexa skill it should work. If the TV is on and you ask Alexa to turn it off does that work? ---
