Python Plugin: Samsung TV

[Calzor Suzay]

I've for now got rid of plugin.py as it seems to crash Domoticz.
Would like to get it working though

[dextm80]

News about a simple guide?

[dextm80]

when i try this command: samsungctl -i --host xxx.xxx.x.xx --method websocket

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/samsungctl", line 11, in <module>
load_entry_point('samsungctl==0.7.1', 'console_scripts', 'samsungctl')()
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/samsungctl/__main__.py", line 110, in main

File "/usr/lib/python3.5/samsungctl/remote_websocket.py", line 72, in _read_response
raise exceptions.UnhandledResponse(response)
samsungctl.exceptions.UnhandledResponse: {'event': 'ms.channel.timeOut'}

any ideas?

@dextm80

do you have tried in this way :

samsungctl -i --host x.x.x.x --port 8001 --method websocket --timeout 1

Samsungctl do not work on all model ... here is the link to the supported models:

Hi zak45 thanks. I ve 65ks7000

[HM31]

Thanks. Going to try this.

Code: Select all

root@DiskStation:/volume3/@appstore/domoticz/var/scripts/python# pip3 intall samsungctl
-ash: pip3: command not found

Before that I already did a 'sudo -i' (something that Synology wants instead of just plain sudo'.

It seems that on Synology access to pip3 must be done from inside python3. I follow a combination of this http://blog.vincentpau.com/2015/08/17/where-is-pip3/ and, of course, this https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Plugins/SamsungTV.html to install samsungctl on my two Synology. But on the one with DSM 5.2 the Python Plugins seems not to be implemented on evansport architecture (ds214play), thus i can't have Samsung TV hardware . And on the other one, with DSM 6.1, I got the Samsung TV in hardware list but this is at another place where I don't have the TV ...

Does anyone have built a version of Domoticz on ds214play with DSM 5.2 and python extension installed because jahdal don't have (http://www.jadahl.com/domoticz_beta_5.2 ... 20Version/)

I can compile a test version for you with Python plugin, but you have to take backup of your database and scripts and uninstall the old domoticz version before you install the new version with Python plugin.
I have limited time to do support on this test build, so use it at own risk.
BTW DS214play use arch-evansport, check on my server for it in 20 min.

You also have to install Python spk package for DSM5.2 from here: http://ukdl.synology.com/download/Packa ... .4.1-0101/

Sorry, i'm a newbie, how and what can i update (samsungctl is 0.7 verision)?

Thanks

[HM31]

You also have to install Python spk package for DSM5.2 from here: http://ukdl.synology.com/download/Packa ... .4.1-0101/

Many thanks.

Hope it will work because on another post you mentionned that Python3 must be v3.5.1 to work (with DSM 6.1 by the way) and it seems that on DSM 5.2 the last version Python V3 version is V3.4.1-0032 for DS214Play DSM 5.2. I can't install the version of Python you gave because it needs DSM 6.0

Download plugin.py from dropbox.

[HM31]

@Drikus
thanks for this TIP.

if someone else using Synology can confirm.. then will add that to the wiki.

Doesn't change anything for me on DSM 6.1.

[Gdroos68]

I want to use this plugin with my Samsung QLED tv. When I install this plugin in my hardware and I use port 8001, it sees whether my TV is alive. However Domoticz gets really unstable and I many times I can not even acces domoticz anymore by means of my webbrowser. The only possibility I then have is to replace the domoticz.db and/or domoticz.sh. Does anybody know how to resolve?

Possibly "Calzor Suzay" has the same issue.

After losing domoticz once again, I restarted with ./domoticz and got the following:

And Domoticz stops. If i turn of the tv and again use ./domoticz, domoticz keeps running and I can remove the samsung plugin and autostart agoin works.

Maybe this helps in figuring out what goes wrong.

Not sure which part you mean but I did all kinds of owner variant and none have worked. Even tried to change python version (3.4) but not sure if I did it correctly and had no effect.

[zak45]

another way to investigate: compile Domoticz from source.

Compiling from source did solve my issue of domoticz service stopping. However now I get similar problems as dextm80. I can see my tv is connected but get all kind of errors:

Probably my new SAMSUNG QE65Q7F is not yet supported or am i doing something wrong?

This error is not due to TV model but say to not able to find a required python module, which should be in your case : websocket-client.
Do you have installed it ?
