any updates from samsung on this?

Not seen or read anything spyd4r. An update is due for the v2 hub in a day or so, maybe something will be included in that but if im honest i dont hold my hopes up, it does appear quite a few people are annoyed by the very odd decision to remove a perfectly fine and working option so a proper announcement on a fix should be how its resolution is handled… (in an ideal world)

Same here, not holding my breath. But it does appear that “plenty of people” are making noise about it, so hopefully in due course it will be resolved. My 6000 series TV was integrated and working perfectly for a year or so before the latest TV firmware update.

Haven’t tried this myself yet but sounds promising… Hub Firmware Release Notes - 20.16

Unfortunately, the Samsung Digital Appliance (DA) list does not include televisions.

So Samsung still has not fixed the TV problem…Glad I went to a android TV.

I got it to work for me. Though I still can’t get it to turn on, only off. I basically removed my account on SmartThings app and deleted the app. Samsung says they no longer support that app. Downloaded Samsung Connect app and it was able to find my smart TV (KU6300) almost instantly. Connected that to same account as my TV and voila it worked. It also connected to my Samsung Smart Hub and everything else (lights, plugs, camera).

Wow! Really glad I read all this before taking the plunge and buying the ST Hub. Thanks guys. I’ll avoid for now (or forever lol)

Any updates, Brad_ST?

I doubt it. All hands are on migration. The TV is probably a lost cause at this point. I’ve given up hope

You can onboard a compatible TV with the new SmartThings app by signing into your TV with the Samsung account you use in the new SmartThings app, a factory reset may be necessary if you were signed into the TV previously.

If you use the same Samsung account to log into the SmartThings classic app, you should also see and be able to control, except for turning on, the TV from SmartThings classic. However, longstanding SmartThings users will may see that the TV is on a different location than their Hub/devices. Additionally, because account migration isn’t fully rolled out that may cause a separation between the account where your Hub/devices are vs the location where the TV is added.

This isn’t a new update but there is continued work on the ability to turn a compatible TV on with both of the SmartThings apps and the ability to move the TV device between locations.

How would I control it from SmartThings Classic? I have the TV added in the new SmartThings app, but I don’t see it in Classic. I really just want to be able to turn my TV off using my Echo–can I do this again? Thanks!

Brad i believe this IS new information !

Unless ( entirely possible ) i missed a post on the forum this is the first time anyone has mentioned your method of Tv connection

Can you elaborate on factory reset please, which device? Tv, Hub

The 6000 series was/is a compatible Tv but as i have posted many times… no connection in classic or new St

I have factory reset many times on the Tv, sign in using same account as new st but still no connection

Actually for the heck of it i tried a Tv hub reset … again, something i have done many times in the past

I can confirm for the first time in months the 6000 series Tv actually does now connect to new smartthings with the new controller Ui once the tv is found, i can also confirm that classic now has basic control AND amazon echo once again has the Off ability, not on but heck i wont complain

This is definately a new progression and probably deserves its own thread just to state that some Tvs should now work… just not switch on.

Thank you to everyone involved in making this work again

Anyone had luck with more recent models or it only work stills with previously supported models?

Could you elaborate how to get it to appear when search?

I had a tv originally connected to the new app as it doesn’t need a to be connected to a hub. I have since then got another ST hub and slowly moving stuff over. At start the TV (Samsung 5 series K5500 40”) was still showing and functioning. However after me accidentally deleted the location I started reinstalling but the TV wouldn’t show up. At one point somehow it appeared again but only for a short while and the app would actually connect to the TV…(keep ‘checking status’ or ‘disconnected’)

So I deleted it again but yet to be able to find the tv

What do you press while the new app searches for the tv? I tried everything from simply turning the tv on to frantically press every button on the damn remote…don’t laugh. This automation intrigues and annoyed me at times.

The SmartView definitely works it’s connected to the network alright…

Thanks

Still no official fix?

Hello I bought a Samsung TV series 7 NU71000 but I’m not able to turn on via Google home (mini) I already add the smart things integration with Google and when I arrive home in my smartthings app on my phone the TV appears as disconnected until I turn on the TV when I turn off, the TV appears in the app as TV turned off but like 5 minutes later it appears TV disconnected, sorry for my bad english
