There are discussions about integrating some kind of home AV equipment to ST. There’s a lot of discussion about IR blasters to control some devices (which, if I could find a good Zigbee/z-wave IR blaster that plays well with my setup, I’ll order it in a heartbeat). As a (free) alternative for thos…

+1 to using the chromecast. Until I upgraded my Comcast HD box from the old style box to the new X1, I was actually feeding my chromecast with power from the USB port on the back of my comcast box. I would leave it on to record shows and I could open YouTube on my phone to awaken my tv. I’ve change…

[image] tdh: GitHub - bradmb/smartthings-samsung-tv: Allows controlling Samsung Smart TVs using SmartThings @imbrian Does your Switchboard support controlling Samsung TV’s via WebSocket? The newer Samsung TV’s use a different communication method, so things like Brads previous remote don’t w…

@ghesp - No, SwitchBoard uses Websockets to connect to Samsung TVs. If you have documentation I can refer to, I can see about adding support. Thanks, Brian

@imbrian From what I can tell, the newer models also use Websockets, however from what I can gather, I think a Samsung TV app might be required to receive the connection. If that’s the case, then it’s dead in the water! Reference is here: http://www.samsungdforum.com/TizenGuide

Even the old ones required a Samsung TV app for iOS or Android. The implementations that you see for other systems are simply spoofing. I can look into this - but without an actual device to test on, I’m not sure how far I’ll be able to get. As long as they don’t do any type of encryption, it sho…

@imbrian Sorry, I meant an app on the TV itself, not an Android/iOS app to control the TV. Is there anything I can pull from Switchboard to identify where the issue might be with the existing solution? My TV is 192.168.1.92, in the config.js I have: samsung : { typeClass : ‘samsung’, title …

Oh, I see. That seems…interesting. I wouldn’t have expected a manufacturer to require an app for what seems like a standard feature now’a’days. I don’t want to detract from the SmartThings discussion for things related to SwitchBoard - but you may put console.log messages throughout the device/sa…

I created a console application that can be used to send remote control commands to Samsung TVs that are using the new encrypted communication protocol. Model 2014+ Samsung TVs. Run the executable to setup the pairing connection and follow the instructions. Once the pairing is complete the program …

@Timothy_Elery can you share the protocol used for this program so we can replicate it through ST. I did some of my own homework on this using Wireshark to track down what’s going and it looks like it’s using HTTP Websockets and as series of POST commands with pairing instructions (actually Step0, …

Thank you for the console application. I would also be very interested in the details on how you pair and control the newer TV’s because I’d like to implement it for another platform. Can you give us more details about your implementation (or even some source code)? All I think to know is that to pa…
