compatibile with THE FRAME 2020 QE55LS03TAUXZT about ha-samsungtv-smart HOT 42 CLOSED

I just release a new version that implement a dedicated service set_art_mode. Please try it and let me know if it works.

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

You inverted media_content_id and media_content_type! And do not quote KEY_POWER

entity_id: media_player.office_tv
media_content_type: 'send_key'
media_content_id: KEY_POWER

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

...oh jeez, thank you for noticing. That worked, thank you :) You can add it to the official documentation on how to turn on art mode :)

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

I just added my 2020 47" frame to HA with this integration.

1. Make sure you generate a smartthings token and add it during the set up sequence when you add the Host IP. Token info link
2. Make sure to accept the prompt on the TV to allow home assistant to control the TV right after you. (If you're not in front of the tv this my be difficult, helps to have someone else watch the TV and "accept" while you do this step.)

I don't believe this integration has the ability to switch to art mode though.

I don't believe this integration has the ability to switch to art mode though.

This is implemented, power button should be able to switch between modes, but I don't have a frame model so I cannon guarantee that everything work properly. Refer to issue #19 for detail on what was already done.

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

it shows it as a status attribute, so you can check if art mode is running or not but i don't think you can turn it on into art mode (this would be amazing btw)

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

@Riggaa you are able to switch between art mode and power on mode?

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

@Riggaa you are able to switch between art mode and power on mode?

No, I do not have the ability to switch to art mode in HA, just normal Samsung TV control.

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

so, this custom components isn't able to manage art mode of FRAME models?

this custom component works fine with homekit integration of HA?

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

Hi,
I installed it via HACS on my HASSIO 2020.12.1 on Rpi3b+, integration via UI don't works, so I configured it via configuration.yaml:

samsungtv_smart:

• host: 192.168.4.151
  api_key: "98529d37-xxxxxxxxxxx-7fbf073eb0a6"
  device_id: "1362c781-xxxxxxxxxxx-3931eb8366b0"
  device_name: SamsungTV
  mac: "a4:30:7a:e7:7a:f0"
  app_list: '{"Netflix": "11101200001", "YouTube": "111299001912"}'
  show_channel_number: True
  broadcast_address: 192.168.4.255

at HASSIO reboot, I authorized it directly on TV, but then I don't find any new media_player entity...which name it could have?

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

@Riggaa you are able to switch between art mode and power on mode?

No, I do not have the ability to switch to art mode in HA, just normal Samsung TV control.

The component is able to manage art_mode, but the power command is designed to always turn on or off the device. This means that:

• if tv is in art_mode, the switch command turn it off
• if tv is in normal_mode, the switch command turn it off
• if tv is off, the switch command turn it on

I don't have a frame TV, so please explain what is the current behavior and how you would expect it work, I can review the switch command sequence and control.

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

Hi,
I installed it via HCAS on my HASSIO 2020.12.1 on Rpi3b+, integration via UI don't works, so I configured it via configuration.yaml:

Do not use configuration.yaml for initial configuration, it only create problem. Remove any row in condiguration.yaml, reboot and configure using UI. If it doesn't work check the HA log for error.
While you configure the TV be sure that TV is on and remove any authorization, it should ask for authorization on TV screen during setup. If you want to use smartthings, be sure that your TV is configured in phone app.
If your TV is on a different subnet (HA installed in docker) the component doesn't work, this is an issue related to the WS library.

@ollo69 is there anything I can do to help you add the art control functionality? Maybe capture some packets? I think art mode is just like any app on that tv. Maybe it can be switched on just like Netflix app?

As I know is not as any app, it have a dedicated control channel. But as I explained, I'm managing it. The question is what you are expecting? There is an attribute that should provide the art mode status. Does it work?

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

The attribute status works great! Thank you for that! I wanted to have automation when I enter the room tv is turned on and goes to art mode automatically, currently, that's not possible since I can only turn it on or off remotely.

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

So you need a command to set the TV in art_mode right? May be this could be a service?
How you set the art_mode from TV remote when TV is off? There is a dedicated button or you press power button multiple time?

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

Service would be awesome!

• Power button press > art mode
• Power button press again > fully on
• Power button press again > back to art mode
• Power button hold > fully off

Even using the Samsung Smart Things app creates the same behavior above. Here is event details (from Smartthing Website) when I turn on the tv using Samsung Smart Things app and it goes to art mode:

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

I think that you can switch fully on -> art mode (and vice versa) simply using service media_player.play_media with this paramter:

  "entity_id": "media_player.<your entity>",
  "media_content_type": "send_key",
  "media_content_id": "KEY_POWER"

Turn on in art mode is not possible because turn on is manage by WOL, there is no control on this. But you can check the artstatus mode attribute and than send the command explained before.

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

Hmm doesn't seem to work get "Unsupported media type" in the log when I send it. I tried using the service tab and converted it to YAML syntax:

entity_id: media_player.office_tv
media_content_id: 'send_key'
media_content_type: "KEY_POWER"

for me it can be useful switch from art mode to on mode...

to troubleshoot initial configuration using web UI, how I can setup debug logs?

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

for me it can be useful switch from art mode to on mode...

Call service media_player.turn_on

to troubleshoot initial configuration using web UI, how I can setup debug logs?

Add the following line in configuration.yaml:

logger:
  default: info
  logs:
    custom_components.samsungtv_smart: debug

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

sorry, where I have to put it: media_player.turn_on?

In lovelace, I have this one:
type: media-control
entity: media_player.samsung_tv

In homekit integration, I have only media_player.samsung_tv

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

media_player.turn_on is a service. You can call it from lovelace using a custom control like mini media player that allow you to create additional button and associate services.

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

if some time media_player.turn_on service don't works, what suggest to do? see logs?

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

Yes, enable debug and check logs. There are some specific condition when service don't work?

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

I'm not sure...I'm looking for logs...

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

@pilot1981 are you getting any errors? To turn on the tv by default you should be able to just press power button on the entity that's created. To turn on just the art mode which is what this threat is about you need to call a play_media service.

Here is how to do this:
Go to developer tools > services (homeassistant-url/developer-tools/service) in the service drop-down select:
media_player.play_media
in the entities drop down select your Frame TV. Should be something like
media_player.tv_name

then in the service data field add 2 additional lines as per ollo69's comment so the data field should be:

entity_id: media_player.tv_name
media_content_type: 'send_key'
media_content_id: KEY_POWER

Press call service, If your tv is in the off mode sending this will turn on art mode. If you press it again tv should turn on. If this works you can now set up automation or scripts that follow the same logic. So you can go to the automation screen and create a trigger (ex: motion detection) followed by a service call (repeat steps above)

Hi,

I don't know if this is due to a different model, version or configuration, but in my case, when I press the Power/Art key on my remote when the Frame TV is completely off, the last state the TV was on is restored.

For example, if I turned off the TV while it was on HDMI1, if I press Power, or send the KEY_POWER keys through play_media, the TV turns back ON on HDMI1. Pushing KEY_POWER again then turns it to Art mode.

If the TV was left in Art mode then powered off, or was manually powered off, then Art mode will start after pushing Power.

The way you guys are talking , it seems like in your case , whatever state the TV was on when turned off doesn't matter, and Art mode ALWAYS start when pushing Power. Is that correct ?

I went through my TV settings and didn't see anything that could explain this.

This makes managing Art mode impossible with HA. I was looking at turning ON Art Mode in the morning, but if the TV was left blasting on the Set-top box the night before, the automation will turn on the TV and wake everyone up. I've tried sending the KEY_POWER twice when the art_mode_status attribute = off, but the sounds comes up really quick on this TV so it's too slow anyway.

Basically at the moment, there are no confirmed method to send a proper signal to the TV to get into Art mode, whatever state it's in at the moment ?

Hi @PaleoW

I have the QE65LS03TAUXXC (2020 model) and my TV behaves like yours.

Using the following switch template, I can set the TV to Art Mode. No matter what the previous state was.

Note: You might need to tweak the wait_template part to fit your needs.

  - platform: template
    switches:
      tv_art_mode:
        friendly_name: "TV Art Mode"
        value_template: "{{ state_attr('media_player.samsung_the_frame_65_tizen', 'art_mode_status') == 'on' }}"
        turn_on:
          - service: media_player.turn_on
            entity_id: media_player.samsung_the_frame_65_tizen
          - wait_template: "{{ (is_state('media_player.samsung_the_frame_65_tizen', 'on') and state_attr('media_player.samsung_the_frame_65_tizen', 'art_mode_status') == 'off') or (state_attr('media_player.samsung_the_frame_65_tizen', 'media_content_type') == 'video' or state_attr('media_player.samsung_the_frame_65_tizen', 'app_id') == 'TV/HDMI') }}"
            timeout: '00:02:00'
            continue_on_timeout: false
          - delay: '00:00:01'
          - service: media_player.play_media
            data_template:
              entity_id: media_player.samsung_the_frame_65_tizen
              media_content_id: 'KEY_POWER'
              media_content_type: 'send_key'
        turn_off:
          - service: media_player.turn_off
            entity_id: media_player.samsung_the_frame_65_tizen

works for me, thank you for doing this @ollo69 it really makes a difference :)

Works on my 2020 65".
Loving this component more and more. Thank you!

my tv change always ip because go from wired to wireless connection and from wireless to wired connection. so I have trouble to use this module...any suggestion?

I already tr to use only wired cable, but something go wrong on the tv and smarthing connection....there is a workaround?

Map a static IP address to your smart TV! Either in your router(/ISP modem) configuration (map MAC address to IP in DHCP settings).

Or try to set a static IP address in the Network Settings of the TV (don't know if this is possible).

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

@Letrab this isn't possible to assign same ip address to both nic because they have different mac address...you have same mac address for both?

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

Don't know really. You could check your DHCP reservation list? But for me it seems the mac-address is the same for both.
Either way, I checked: you can set a static IP on your TV as well, so you could try that.
In my case it seems I cannot be connected to both wired and wireless together, so static IP is possible then, because no conflict could occur.
Or try to fix the wired connection with Smartthings? Works perfectly here, so no need to switch constantly. There are additional settings in the Network setup menu for allowing to control your TV, so check that out.

But this is quite off-topic for this issue. Hope you'll figure it out.

I do not understand how is possible that your TV change automatically from wired to wireless, as I know you must specify in TV configuration which kind of connection you wand to use. May be your problem is that router is assigning different IP to your TV when you turn it on? In this case you must set a static IP in the TV configuration or create a DHCP reservation in your router.

Hi,
I'm having some issue with homekit integration of Samsung TV; I go to explain better:

1. I started from scratch homekit integration with TV and other items:
2. I obtained in integration section of HA 2 homekit integration cards: 1 for samsunt TV and 1 for HA bridge
3. I rebooted HA
4. I see only HA bridge (I don't see anymore card for integration of only Samsung TV)
5. I joined HA bridge in apple home app, but I don't have samsung TV in my homekit installation

what you suggest to see Samsung TV in my homekit installation?

regards

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

for now I fixed problem on homekit integration, integrating only samsung tv (no any other HA entity).

Now, on my Samsung TV FRAME I have 2 mac address with 2 IP address: there is a way to config single TV with 2 mac address and 2 ip address?

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

I just release a new version that implement a dedicated service set_art_mode. Please try it and let me know if it works.

@ollo69 please, can you say howto use service 'set_art_mode'?

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

please, can you say howto use service 'set_art_mode'?

What do you mean? Is a HA service, just call it with the TV entity and the TV should be set in art mode, as the service name suggest.

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

If I have service samsungtv_smart.set_art_mode on entity media_player.samsung_tv how I can create a switch to it on lovelace or in Homekit?

from ha-samsungtv-smart.

This is not the right place (BTW this is a closed thread).
Anyway a simply solution is to use mini media player, for other solution refer to HA documentation and forum
