Hi,
Can the SmartThings integration be amended to include support for other Media Commands (ex: Home, Direction Left, etc…) similar to other TV’s? These commands are supported by the Samsung SmartThings. Hopefully this means that the API used in our integration here can reference those?
Would be great!
Thank you!
I cannot find those commands anywhere. I’ve searched long & hard for those. The SmartThings API is actually fairly straight forward & pretty easy to use. If you can find out what they are, please let me know & I will add them. Almost everything can be easily tested in CURL. For example, here’s the CURL command to get a list of your devices.
curl -X GET https://api.smartthings.com/v1/devices -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"

I myself sort of gave up on sending those navigation commands through SmartThings. I’m thinking the only way might be through a direct connection to the TV. There is already a feature request for that if you’d like to vote on it
Hi Bill,
I am able to turn the TV’s power on/off through the existing Smartthings integration, and a few other TV commands (will need to check which ones are working).
I’ve actually been tinkering trying to build a plugin to connect to the Samsung TV via WebSocket. I’m not able to get a connection going through The Home Remote (not getting a response from the TV), although I am able to when I test through Chrome’s WebSocket tool.
I’ll attach my latest code here to see if it’s helpful. SamsungTV.plugin (2.5 KB)
Sorry, I really don’t have time to help you with this right now. To be honest, you’re quite a ways away from having something functional. It’ll actually be quicker for me to write it myself. Vote for the feature request if you haven’t already.
