Python Plugin: Samsung TV

[Calzor Suzay]

I gave up for now trying to get it working, just kept killing Domoticz.

When the beta goes live stable I might look to try again.

[AndreDomoticz]

Does some one have the plug in functioning on the raspberry with raspbian ?

installation of the plugin went smoothly

the Samsung hardware can be selected

after filling out the information the devices are created
and commands are accepted by the TV
the logs look like:

The volume goes up and down as expected. So the access towards the Samsung TV is working.


but without touching the configuration the thread is stopped by the system.




restarting the system when the samsung hardware is enabled results in a crash....
(using python 3.5 on the latest raspbian release)

disabling the samsung hardware results in starting domoticz




someone has some suggestions or how I can enable some more debugging options to find out more details which might lead to the real root cause



thanks a lot

Does some one have the plug in functioning on the raspberry with raspbian ?

have seen some problem with some plugin on PI;
what you can test:
install 3.4 python and/or compile from source.

[marcellom]

Hi all, im a newbie and my name is Marcello.
I discover Domoticz as Docker and now i have installed it in a rpi2. Is really funny and works very well...
I have a Samsung tv F series and the samsungctl pluging works (thanks ) , but only after some troubles: every time i pushed a "samsung switch" my tv asked for authorization...
At the end the problem was with the empty id field, when I did the first plugin configuration.
Now, with the id field filled... my tv store (and dont forget) the authorization.
But i have a problem: some buttons in the preconfigured switchs dont works as aspected (hdm2 open a window menù, as example ) and i'd like do a modification in the key configuration to match the switch button with the buttons in my remote control.
Could someone tell me how to do?
Thanks in advance
PS I know... my english is bad.. :/

Hi, just edit plugin.py and replace the KEY_XXX by what you want :

Code: Select all

            if (Unit == 2):  # Source selector                    
                if (Level == 10): SamsungSend("KEY_TV",Unit,Level)
                if (Level == 20): SamsungSend("KEY_HDMI",Unit,Level)
                if (Level == 30): SamsungSend("KEY_HDMI1",Unit,Level)
                if (Level == 40): SamsungSend("KEY_HDMI2",Unit,Level)
            elif (Unit == 3):   # Volume control                    
                if Devices[Unit].nValue == 0:
                    numberMute += 1
                if (Level == 10): SamsungSend("KEY_VOLUP",Unit,Level)
                if (Level == 20): SamsungSend("KEY_VOLDOWN",Unit,Level)
            elif (Unit == 4): # Source input selector                    
                if (Level == 10): SamsungSend("KEY_SOURCE",Unit,Level)
                if (Level == 20): SamsungSend("KEY_ANYNET",Unit,Level)                    
                if (Level == 30): SamsungSend("KEY_ENTER",Unit,Level)

and here you can found key code :

Hi Zak I thank you very very much
Ill try and report

[marcellom]

Wow... it works For now just for ch+ and ch-.
I am a total newby in Domotocz and phyton, but your clear answer give me a big help!
Thanks again Zak, well done
Ehm... just a stupid question...
Anyone can share his Samsung key code table with comments?
I have discovered that KEY_EXT30, in my F series tv, runs Netflix app...
KEY_EXTxx, i think, launch the installed applications.
XX is a number between 1 and 40.
Anyone knows Plex code number? Youtube?

[Smiggel]

I installed the plugin before I found out that my TV is not supported "SAMSUNG UE40JU6400".

I could reach the tv using the terminal, but no commands were accepted. Also I never got to see the authorize screen as well. I could add the hardware to my Domoticz system. That worked and even could see in the logs that it detects when my tv is on and off. However, the switch in Domoticz did not work. It always said the tv was on, when I could see in the logs that it detected when it was off.

Like some others here, the script crashed my Domoticz too. When I have my TV on and reboot my system, I could no longer access Domoticz. When I turn of my tv and reboot, I could access the webinterface again.

It's really too bad the script is not working for every TV. Will keep an eye on this script. Hopefully it will be able to work in the future with more tv's.

My challenge:

Domoticz Bèta
Python 3.5
samsungctl (tested with 0.7.x and 0.6.x)
websocket-client
wheel
six
...
well...all that is already mentoined.

When I activate the hardware in domoticz it freezes. System still running...Domoticz offline.
When I rename websocket map in /usr/bin/python3.5 and restart the domoticz service its all working again

What to do?

maybe try to compile Domoticz from source. (info should be on wiki)

I guys, i nice simple guide to install samsungctl on ubuntu 18.04 and domoticz 3.9527 adn 65ks7000 tested

sudo -H pip3 install setuptools
sudo -H pip3 install websocket-client
sudo -H pip3 install samsungctl
sudo cp -r /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/samsungctl/ /usr/lib/python3.6/
samsungctl -i --host x.x.x.x --port 8001 --method websocket --timeout 1 (x.x.x.x is your tv ip)
go to domoticz/plugins folder create samsungctl folder and put plugin.py

put plugin in debug mode and provide full log.

You have let legacy, this mean you have an old television, what's is the model?

I have a new TV and in fact it may be the reason.
If I'm at home, I'll check it.
Thank you so much.

Hi!

I am trying to make this plugin work, but I´m stucked validating the installation.

I am using a raspi, I have phyton 3.5

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pip3 install samsungctl
Collecting samsungctl
  Using cached https://www.piwheels.org/simple/samsungctl/samsungctl-0.7.1-py3-none-any.whl
Installing collected packages: samsungctl
Successfully installed samsungctl-0.7.1
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ samsungctl -version
-bash: samsungctl: command not found

When I try to see the samsungctl version I have that error

Also if I type this:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ samsungctl -i --host 192.168.2.165 --method websocket
-bash: samsungctl: command not found

What am I doing wrong?

If someone can help me would be apreciated

Thanks

Hello everyone, I have installed everything as it comes and I have no problem when executing some action from the command line, but when I go to domoticz and add it, I do not get any hardware called Samsung. Why can this be?

Thanks in advance and greetings, Victor
