[workaround]Control Samsung Smart TV

---

Hi,
has anybody tried to control a samsung smart tv via IP?
I have an UE40H6270. Controlling via App is possible. The next days I will try sniffing the network
Best regards

Is the App using wifi (tcp/ip) or IR?
I have a relative recent Samsung SmartTV overhere, but couldn’t make a connection with it apparentlySamsung stopped with a open service/port to control the TV over IP.

If yours does work over IP, do searc for some python examples on controlling Samsung TV’s, there a re few implementations based on python.

maybe it helps

edit - sorry , won’t help much, i just reviewed the threats. better forget about it …

First topic is what I was talking about, but I understand they stopped making models with that option.

as i just read the protocols are encrypted on models build after 2014.
using espimatic and an ir sensor for ir transmitting might be an option i guess, but then with lots of rules and workarounds.

ESPimatic can send IR
