Samsung JS9000 Smart TV Integration

Devices & Integrations
1

Hi All,

I can’t get this TV integration to work via the Samsung Smart TV (connect) smart app. I first had a child object null issue but I seem to of got passed that by manually installing a Samsung smart TV device from a template then when the auto discovery in the smart app scans it finds the TV, I can add it successfully as a device, the correct hex IP values are added etc just none of the commands work and the debugging window doesn’t give much away. Has anyone else managed to successfully connect a JS9000 series tv? (UE65JS9000)

Thanks
Adrian

I don’t remember this being a supported device, what code are you using to get it going? I have the smaller version showing up in a few days, so I’m kinda curious what the 2 can do together.

Hi sidjohn1,

Thanks for getting back to me

I found the code using the smart app from the templates in the ST labs category

However it always failed on line 125 with child device is null until I added a device type which is also in templates.

The smartview app that is a Samsung app and outside of ST is very powerful, it can control via Ethernet and even stream TV picture to phone/pc in excellent quality, but really all I am after is automatic change source and on/off, on maybe an issue if older models are to go by although I have seen an option in the menu that says something like Resume Quicker from Standby so I’m outside hoping this mean WOL or something similar, and change source etc. A bonus would be smart app notifications on the TV itself.

5

can you post the device code as well? it’s totally not on my list, I’ve checked the ide and the app… and it looks like they are doing some interesting things in the code. @Kristopher is it just me or are they using tcp sockets to communicate to the TV?

6

I found this as well googling around, the code looks similar, and might work better.

Here’s the device code I am using but for the life of me I can’t find it now in templates. The smart app is still there but no device type (maybe I got it elsewhere I can’t remember now).

I did notice that as well, maybe I assumed wrong but as it was similar and older and the one I used was written as a connect app that it was the more appropriate one to use.

I’ll give it a go when I am next near the device

Everything looks OK on the surface at least. I know on some models you have to enable remote management, so you might have to do that here too.

10

I got them both installed, but since i don’t actually have one yet i get as far as Select Samsung TV (0 found) it should be here by friday to play with more.

11

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! Need to investigate to see what TV’s this can work on… @AutomateEverything you see this?

12

I’m using the @NickW version of the app from the link below with success.

13

If its the remote over IP then yeah ive used it for a while to mute my tv when the doorbell rings n stuff like that

14

Is that for a JS9000 series TV? think its different software to other sets, new version of Tizen or something like that

15

Im not sure if mine is the same code, found mine agea ago and tou put in the tvs ip and mac address etc . . . My tv in a 2013 samsung smart 40inch led . . . So not tizen, whats the sifference in apps? What can you do with this you could with the older samsung remote over ip smartapp - im intreagued :slight_smile:

16

I couldn’t tell you as I haven’t got it working but I think its just the same kind of thing on/off .mute etc, once I’m back home I’ll test the older code by Brad or Nick but I don’t hold out much hope, there’s not even a serial connection on this new set, I feel they are beginning to lock things down more.

I may get out wireshark to see what the smartview app is sending out to control it adn see if it matches the commands sent in the code, there is some PIN based authentication for the smartview app so I am beginning to think this is the reason.

17

I also installed it and get the same error or at line 125 on both my Samsung TVs. Please share is you find a solution.

Hi Ron,

I found if you install the device type Samsung Smart TV (included in this post) the smart app will then find and detect your TV. The device for me just doesn’t do anything. I believe its to do with some PIN based authentication that has to happen but that’s just a guess at this stage.

19

I am new to this and I can’t seem to connect my Samsung TV with the Smart TV (Connect) app. It finds my device, but it keeps failing with a “Cannot get property ‘hub’ on null object @ line 126”

I am also unable to install a devicetype with Brad’s file. I always get an error metadata definition not found.

I was just searching for the JS9000 TV integration with ST and found this thread. Does anyone who have samsung JS9000 TV had their TV integration with ST working? I’m unable to detect my JS9000 TV.

I need some help if anyone did this integration successfully.

Thanks in advance.
