Installation (There are two methods, with HACS or manual)

1. Easy Mode

We support HACS. Go to "STORE", search "SamsungTV Custom" and install.

2. Manual

Install it as you would do with any homeassistant custom component:

  1. Download custom_components folder.
  2. Copy the samsungtv_custom direcotry within the custom_components directory of your homeassistant installation. The custom_components directory resides within your homeassistant configuration directory. Note: if the custom_components directory does not exist, you need to create it. After a correct installation, your configuration directory should look like the following.
    └── ...
    └── configuration.yaml
    └── custom_components
        └── samsungtv_custom
            └── samsungctl_080b
            └── samsungctl_qled
            └── samsungtvws
            └── __init__.py
            └── media_player.py
            └── manifest.json
            └── tv-token.txt
    

Configuration

  1. Enable the component by editing the configuration.yaml file (within the config directory as well). Edit it by adding the following lines:

    Example configuration.yaml for default ctl protocol

    media_player:
      - platform: samsungtv_custom
        host: IP_ADDRESS
        mac: MAC_ADDRESS
        port: (8001 or 8002)
        sourcelist: '{"PlayStation": "KEY_HDMI1", "RaspberryPi": "KEY_HDMI2", "Chromecast": "KEY_HDMI3"}'
    

    Example configuration.yaml for ws protocol

    media_player:
      - platform: samsungtv_custom
        host: IP_ADDRESS
        mac: MAC_ADDRESS
        port: (8001 or 8002)
        sourcelist: '{"PlayStation": "KEY_HDMI1"}'
        protocol: ws
    

    Example configuration.yaml for ctl_beta protocol

    media_player:
      - platform: samsungtv_custom
        host: IP_ADDRESS
        port: (8001 or 8002)
        mac: MAC_ADDRESS
        sourcelist: '{"RaspberryPi": "KEY_HDMI2", "Chromecast": "KEY_HDMI3"}'
        protocol: ctl_beta
    

    Example configuration.yaml for ctl_beta protocol for H/J Models

     media_player:
       - platform: samsungtv_custom
         host: IP_ADDRESS
         port: (8001 or 8002)
         mac: MAC_ADDRESS
         sourcelist: '{"RaspberryPi": "KEY_HDMI2", "Chromecast": "KEY_HDMI3"}'
         protocol: ctl_beta
         token: kdsjfbsdkjbsdkjfskdjf:2
         id: 07270e01-0078-1000-8cd0-c4576e9dxxxxx
    

    The token get be fetched via https://github.com/eclair4151/SmartCrypto The id can be fetched vie http://IP_ADDRESS:8001/api/v2/

    Example configuration.yaml for ctl_qled protocol

    media_player:
      - platform: samsungtv_custom

        applist: "YouTube, Apple TV, Plex, Prime Video, Spotify" (only for QLED and similar)
