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'.

Got the same settings (minus the python35.zip). Still driving me nuts too. As you see a few posts up, having problems with the 'test' phase. i do have various Python packages, but still it failed. With python --version I get Python 2.7.12 Why has Synology have to make it so difficult to instal this

Keep in mind that the samsungctl doens't work on all types of samsung smart tv's. Mine is a ue55JU7000 and although the plugin, receives the on/off status, i cannot control my tv with it.

Hello,

I have a nice Samsung TV and want to control it from Domoticz.
I followed the wiki and have the following problems at this moment:

Code: Select all

bert@DS1515:~$ samsungctl -i --host 192.168.2.15 --method websocket
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/bin/samsungctl", line 11, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/samsungctl/__main__.py", line 93, in main
    config = _read_config()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/samsungctl/__main__.py", line 37, in _read_config
    except FileNotFoundError:
NameError: global name 'FileNotFoundError' is not defined
Anyone an idea what I can / have to do to get this solved? Help is appreciated.

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/samsungctl/ --> this show that you have installed on python version 2.7

Plugin system need python 3.x !

Hi Zak,
Thanks for your answer. I have a synology and on that one python 2.7 and 3.5 is installed.
Ok, now i know this is the trouble I'm going to switch over too another forum (Synology) to ask there how I can achieve that Synology will run with Python 3.5.

Got it work on my Synology. Originally I got the same error, then I had a quick look in the plugin.py:

Code: Select all

if sys.platform.startswith('linux'):
    # linux specific code here
    sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(os.__file__) + '/diste-packages')
change this to:

Code: Select all

if sys.platform.startswith('linux'):
    # linux specific code here
    sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(os.__file__) + '/site-packages')

@Drikus

Zak, I could not get the interactive control from the command line to work.
I have a Samsung J model from 2016, and I use this command line to test it:

Code: Select all

sudo samsungctl -i --host 192.168.0.8 --port 8001 --method websocket
but when i use any key, the TV does not respond to any of them.

Do you know what can be the issue?

This is the log from the plugin

If someone has an idea of what can be happening, I'll be glad to hear from you.

Thanks
