I’ve just started to play around with openhab2, and i’m still struggling to understand the concepts behind. I’ve added the Samsung TV binding, and it autodiscovered my TVs. with autoapprove:enabled=true it also created/linked some channels, and i’m able to control the volume of all my TV through Basic and Classic UI, and I can also turn off some off my TVs, but not all, and i can turn on none. None of the TVs is showing the channel ID, channel name or Title in any of the UIs, but i dont need these anyway.
What i would like to do is open the web browser on my TVs with a specific URL and close them again after a while (switch back to TV mode) based on rules. I do understand this might be achieved with channels URL and SROPBROWSER, but how exactly ? Can someone point me to the correct direction ?
Regarding powering on a TV that is in deep sleep:
Thats not possible.
Unless you modify the firmware of your samsung tv.
Or you use an IR transmitter (or build one)
I use an ESP8266 with a few IR LEDs to switch the tv on, in case it was in standby mode.
It is connected to OH via mqtt.
Regarding the channel ID:
I can see the channel number, but now title or TV station.
I can only see my input channels:
TV
HDMI2
HDMI3
HDMI4/DVI
But when i select HDMI2 it will be displayed as HDMI-CEC because it will get overwritten.
I have a UE40F6500 without any firmware modifications.
(It was rooted using the Skype method, but i did not keep an eye on that, now my root access seems to be disabled due to firmware updates)
