Samsung The Frame

My TV automations are simple but very effective: - turning my Samsung frame tv off instead of going to frame/picture mode. “Hey siri - turn tv off” turns Apple TV off which then triggers the frame to also turn off properly. Previously without the integration this would just result in the frame displaying art which was super frustrating - integrating my 10 year old Sony Bravia TV has allowed for turning on/off at the same time as my Apple TV/PS5 (it used to work via HDMI-CEC but it became buggy and the TV would randomly turn off during normal use and then randomly on at night when not in use …

My Samsung frame tvs do not turn on with the appletv remote but turn off just fine. Have an automation that when appletv turns on, turn on the Samsung frame. Works perfectly now.

On the Frame TV, the art channel answers the status request with `get_artmode_status`. Ignoring that event leaves Art Mode marked unsupported and omits the `art_mode_status` attribute. The TV also reports `PowerState: "on"` while showing art, so the device-info shortcut keeps the media player on even after Art Mode is detected. In the device-info power check, return off when Art Mode is on, while retaining the existing behavior for failed requests, powered-off TVs, and unknown or unsupported Art Mode status. Add regression tests for both status values across the three supported events, …
