Samsung 6-series TV (Sweden)WorksInputs work via SmartThings API once TV is signed into Samsung account

Very strange. I can see by your model number that the TV is 6-series. I also have a 6-series TV and it's working just fine with SmartThings (except the power on). It may be something related to your country because I can see that model is specific from one region.

Samsung Q7 series TVWorksUser says plugin works great on Q7 series
Saved copy
Hi Tavicu! First of all thanks for taking your time to make this plugin for us :) It works great on my Samasung Q7 series T.V but having little problems with my second T.V in media room. I've added the second T.V (Media room T.V) to config file via the Homebridge config UI X and everything almost works fine except the pairing notification did not pop up on the T.V to click allow. However, it still pops up in the accessories of Homekit and I've added it in already. Homekit also displays the T.V power status correctly when its on or off but I can't control the T.V when pressing the power button …

I use this plugin and it’s pretty predictable https://github.com/lukasroegner/homebridge-apple-tv-remote#readme ... you have to do a small amount of legwork, but the readme will explain it all. This plugin turns my TV on or off easily as a HomeKit button now.

The homebridge-samsung-tizen plugin works well, gives you a TV tile for power/input control and control center remote. Needs some manual config for inputs and customizing the remote but the documentation is excellent: https://github.com/tavicu/homebridge-samsung-tizen Not HB2 beta compatible yet but tavicu is working on it.

Thank you for that, I'm not using a frame TV, just a standard Samsung QN65QN90CAFXZA 2023 running the latest Samsung Firmware 3.5.1 / VD-STV-2023. I moved over to the SmartThings plugin from the Tizen version, still having issues with the device and app staying in sync. Smart Things app shows the correct status, Home app is stuck ON. Seems like the plugging are evaluating a "True" value in the device ping for the "alive" variable as an indicator the TV is actually ON. Device level attribute data available in the SmartThings Web UI shows the TV as actually OFF. For my TV it stores this as a …

Samsung Frame TV (2022+, Tizen 6.5)Partly worksSamsung removed Art Mode API; only real power control, manual config
Saved copy
Attention for users with TVs from 2022 (Tizen 6.5) or newer. Samsung decided to remove the API for Art Mode. Unfortunately they didn't offer an alternative yet. Only TVs from 2022 or newer are affected, TVs that have Tizen 6.5 OS. When Samsung will decide to add an API in SmartThings we will implement it right away. Until then the only option is to control only the Real Power of TV. For the moment this is not done automatically. So you will have to set the config manually. You can also create a custom switch which will send the `KEY_POWER` command just like you have on physical remote or in …

Samsung QN90C TVPartly worksTV falls out of sync with Home app; SmartThings plugin also has sync problems
Saved copy
u/slimsly did you find a fix here? I'm running 5.3.2 of the homebridge-samsung-tizen plugin with an NQ90C Samsung TV. The TV falls out of sync with the home app often, using the Apple TV to control power. I'm struggling to nail down the cause. Something is telling the Home App the TV is ON, while it's OFF. I experience these issues with LG Thinq or generally any device that relies on an external server to complete a circuit.

Hey, I added a plug-in to my Samsung series 7 TV (homebridge-samsung-tizen) I noticed an issue: The TV does not turn on properly when using Homekit (does not respond and turns on only if I press the button several times). I can turn it off and transfer inputs without a problem. The only problem is just turning the TV on. Anyone had this problem? Is there a way to solve it?

Samsung Smart Monitor (OLED) USB-C and DisplayPort inputsRequestedPR adding USB-C/DisplayPort inputs was closed unmerged

For those who don't understand, SmartThings API is using a different command for monitors to support USB-C or DisplayPort. From the local API there is no way to find out if the device is a TV or a monitor to be able to use different commands depending on what device it is. SmartThings have an api which will tell you what commands the device supports. So the correct implementation will be to query SmartThings api and see if the device supports the command that changes to USB-C or DisplayPort. Then if it does, to use that command. Otherwise to use the command which is used now. A not so good …
