The TV icon is always colored, even when the TV and the device is off. Is that intentional? The virtual TV device I have changes the icon color to gray when the device turns off.
Yes, that’s the way it works now since that is generally the case for most Roku (stick) devices. I may have to do something different in the future for TV devices, since the on/off state there is different.
OK. Thx for the update!
I also have a Roku TV using this driver (3/7 version) and also do not have an on/off button on the icon.
@TAustin I just had a network upgrade and the result was new IP addresses for everything (yay me). My Roku is the one remaining device I have that the SmartThings device now believes is offline. The ST device is supposed to handle IP address changes right?
It should yes. What happens is that if it can’t find the Roku at the last known address, then it should get picked up in a periodic re-discovery process. Sometimes the Rokus for whatever reason can stop answering discovery queries, so try to power off, count to 10, and power back on your Roku. Then give it a few minutes to see if it is rediscovered again.
If still no luck, can you run some logs with the CLI?
Thank you. I’ll give that a try as soon as I can and report back.
Anyone else having issues with Roku TVS stop working? This has happened twice now. I has to reinstall the driver to start working again.
Everything works perfect then all of a sudden all 5 of my ROKU TV stop responding. They still work with my Alexa Skill.
Is this a known issue?
Sorry you’re having problems. Would you be able to capture a driver log with the CLI? That would help me diagnose what could be happening.
I have not had any issues with my 4 ROKU TVs
Can you provide instructions on how to capture a driver log?
Download the ST CLI and use the command “smartthings edge:drivers:logcat”. You will be prompted for your hub’s IP address and then can select which driver you want to log.
When I launch the App this is what I get in Termanial and cannot run any other commands. Am I doing something wrong?
Responded with a direct message.

Next time it Happens, try just rebooting your hub. This has happens to me everyone once in a while and a simple reboot gets them all back in sync.
FYI, Christopher is going to try and get some logs to capture why this might be happening. Need to get to the bottom of this, as it you shouldn’t have to reboot the hub!
I’d be up for enduring testing. I’m actually curious about how to go about making these drivers.
You can install the driver from my channel here.
Regarding building your own driver, the documentation you need to review is here and here. There are plenty of example drivers available here in this community or on the SmartThings repository or in various community member github repositories.
Does the RokuTV support finding Google TV or will those be separate?
No, this driver only supports Roku devices.
