(Release) Samsung Multiroom Speaker Integration (Unofficial)

Hi Dave,
I use a simple trick to switch Off a group of speakers (R7/R6/M3/M5/M7) and maybe you can integrate it in your code because some users have asked for.

There is an HTTP request for the sleeptimer and this is exactly what I use to turn off the speakers.
I send a http request with the value of 1 second to the main speaker of a group and after one second all speakers turn off.
here is the example with one second:

http://your_mainspeaker_ip:55001/UIC?cmd=%3Cname%3ESetSleepTimer%3C/name%3E%3Cp%20type=%22str%22%20name=%22option%22%20val=%22start%22/%3En%3Cp%20type=%22dec%22%20name=%22sleeptime%22%20val=%221%22/%3E

Very interesting idea. I will look at it. I think it will also work for any speaker (and put them to sleep).

Did a test. It does not work for the soundbars (the time in soundbars is in minutes); however, there is an off command for the soundbar that does the same thing. It gives me way to stop all playback vice going to pause.

Hi Dave,
thanks for testing it with the soundbar which I not have, but good to know there is a “off” command available.
But I can confirm that it works fine with all speakers of the Samsung WAM series.
I think you know all HTTP commands for the Samsung Multiroom Speakers (more than 200) - if not, let me know and I will publish the complete list.
For the M-Series there is also a command to get more bass (has nothing to do with the equalizer) and works only with the M-Series (M3/5/7) but has a great sound effect. I always use the highest setting which is 3 (1, 2 or 3 is possible), because the M-Series sounds a bit too flat for my taste.
Here’s the setting for the highest level to 3:

Do not know those details. This integration will die when Samsung abandons the current IDE>

Hi @Gutheinz, is this release also compatible with the Samsung Soundbar HW-Q90R please?
Thanks.

No, I do not believe it is compatible. The integration:

  • Is designed to work with Samsung Speakers that can be controlled by the Samsung Multiroom App (that is the API I use).
  • Will die with the current IDE in the near future.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Hi Dave, I have been following your directions on the device handler (for two R1 speakers and WAM compatible soundbar). Things went will until I ran the smart app. It found all 3 speakers but I am stuck on a “devicenetworkid must be unique” error when saving. Any advice?

Thanks!

That usually means that there is already a device with the same DNI already installed. I use the device mac for the DNI. Check other devices you have for the same DNI. Also, see if the OFFICIAL integration has installed the speaker (which would also have the same DNI.

Dave

yeah, I searched around and found a reply you had to a similar question. I had already installed/added them to ST (in the past). Deleted them from ST and then ran the app again and it worked. Thanks so much Dave!

For users with Samsung R1/Rx speakers and still using the Talking Alarm Clock smartApp I was able to update it to work again with weather forecast and temperatures.
