Good luck!
Hi
I've finally got the spare time to try samsunctl. I've installed it on my Raspberry Pi using pip3 as described in the initial post from stavast. No errors during installation but running samsungctl returns an error :
Code: Select all
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ /usr/local/bin/samsungctl -i --host 10.0.0.71 --method websocket
Error: Operation now in progress
I was wondering which port it was using so i looped through the ports that nmap found :
Code: Select all
~$ nmap -p 1-65535 10.0.0.71
Starting Nmap 7.01 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2017-11-17 11:43 CET
Nmap scan report for 10.0.0.71
Host is up (0.010s latency).
Not shown: 65523 closed ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
7676/tcp open imqbrokerd
7678/tcp open unknown
8000/tcp open http-alt
8001/tcp open vcom-tunnel
8002/tcp open teradataordbms
8080/tcp open http-proxy
8187/tcp open unknown
9119/tcp open unknown
9197/tcp open unknown
9999/tcp open abyss
10443/tcp open unknown
15500/tcp open unknown
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 2.34 seconds
Then I went through all of these using --port parameter in samsungctl but still the same error.
Regards,
Per W.

4. Make sure your TV is on, run the following command from the cli (Change xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the IP address of your TV):
Code: Select all
pi@domoticz:~ $ samsungctl --host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --method websocket KEY_MUTE
5. Depending on the setting of your TV, the TV will ask you if you want to allow the external control from the device from which you just send the mute key
6. Allow the external control with your TV Remote and voila! remote control should be working now and the volume of your TV should be muted.
How did you get this working and what is point 5?
Is it mobile device manager notification as I have this off so it shouldn't prompt but on my KS7000 I get
samsungctl -i --host 192.168.1.42 --method websocket
Error: Operation now in progress
Any ideas?

Ok managed to get it further...
I have it working via the command line but specify a port, in my case 8001 and have to add a timeout option, even 1 works, so...
samsungctl -i --host 192.168.1.42 --port 8001 --method websocket --timeout 1
Brings me up a menu from a quick test can send commands.
I transferred the options over to Domoticz, it sees the tv 'alive' but now have this problem

It obviously creates no devices and fails, any ideas?
