openhab4 on raspberry pi 4 - smart tv samsung, how will my integration end?
This video concludes my integration into openhab 4 for the samsung smart tv.
I used both the smartthings api and the official samsung binding to get working controls, so i created two things for the tv.
I then created a single equipment that puts together all the points linked to the channels of the two things created.
This is to make openhab see a single tv “object”, even if it is physically a set of two distinct objects.
