Samsung TV K Series - OH2 with exec binding and python3, TV Control -question setting TV volume like Setpoint, Rollershuter

[Jusufs (Jozef Szabo)]

Hi,
I need to control TV volume level by sending exec command of Setpoint item
if arrow up is pressed:
executeCommandLine("/usr/local/bin/samsungctl --host 192.168.100.200 --method websocket KEY_VOLUP")

if arrow down is pressed command volume level down should be executed:
executeCommandLine("/usr/local/bin/samsungctl --host 192.168.100.200 --method websocket KEY_VOLDOWN")

How should I define such an “Setpoint Item” and how should be defined rule.
Thanks.

If there is a command line tool for this, how hard would it be to update the openHAB2 binding to support newer TVs?

[Jusufs (Jozef Szabo)]

I found a solution in Domoticz forum and it works for Openhab with exec binding :0)
for new Samsung TV. I have 65KS7500 Type and it works on Tizen.

You need install samsungctl:

Ape/samsungctl

From pi cmd line install:
pip3 install samsungctl
pip3 install websocket-client (necessary for new TVs.

After this copy modified samsungtv.conf to pi/.config directory
{
“name”: “samsungctl”,
“description”: “Pi”,
“id”: “”,
“method”: “websocket”,
“port”: 55000,
“timeout”: 0
}

After this you can start using a command line like:
/usr/local/bin/samsungctl --host 192.168.100.200 --method websocket KEY_xxxx
Try /usr/local/bin/samsungctl -i --host 192.168.100.200 --method websocket
for all possible commands :0)

Define rules:
rule “Samsung TV Pwr Toogle”
when
Item TV_Pwr received command
then
if(receivedCommand == OFF) executeCommandLine("/usr/local/bin/samsungctl --host 192.168.100.200 --method websocket KEY_POWER")
if(receivedCommand == ON) executeCommandLine("/usr/local/bin/samsungctl --host 192.168.100.200 --method websocket KEY_POWER")
end

rule “Samsung TV Volume Up/Down”
when
Item TV_VolUpDown received update
then
if(receivedCommand == OFF) executeCommandLine("/usr/local/bin/samsungctl --host 192.168.100.200 --method websocket KEY_VOLDOWN")
if(receivedCommand == ON) executeCommandLine("/usr/local/bin/samsungctl --host 192.168.100.200 --method websocket KEY_VOLUP")
end

rule “Samsung TV Volume Mute”
when
Item TV_Mute received command
then
if(receivedCommand == OFF) executeCommandLine("/usr/local/bin/samsungctl --host 192.168.100.200 --method websocket KEY_VOLUP")
if(receivedCommand == ON) executeCommandLine("/usr/local/bin/samsungctl --host 192.168.100.200 --method websocket KEY_MUTE")
end

!!! On first connection with TV you must confirm pairing. Python program simulates Samsung Remote Control unit

[Jusufs (Jozef Szabo)]

My question is about control volume Up and Down with Openhab item/rule like setpoint with arrows.
If you able please rename post to Samsung new type TV control in Openhab2.

rule “Samsung TV Volume Up/Down"
when
Item TV_VolUpDown received update
then
if(receivedCommand == OFF) executeCommandLine(”/usr/local/bin/samsungctl --host 192.168.100.200 --method websocket KEY_VOLDOWN")
if(receivedCommand == ON) executeCommandLine("/usr/local/bin/samsungctl --host 192.168.100.200 --method websocket KEY_VOLUP")
end

This is not usable :0(

Hi,
Maybe coincidence. This is what I posted today:

Exec-Binding and Setpoint

Hi, I was searching for a way to use the exec-binding (openHAB 1.x) together with the setpoint element to create an easy way to show a value and modify it, e.g for volume control, temperture-set, etc. The posts I found where always referring to a combination of number items and rules to make this work. After some more research I found the following way which I would like to share: Create php file and hand over parameters via argument $argv[x] to carry out the actual command for the change: <…

Maybe it helps.
Cheers

Installation

1. Install python3-pip:

Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install python3-pip

2. Install SamsungCTL:

Code: Select all
sudo pip3 install samsungctl

3. Install websocket-client (this python module is needed for the 2016+ Samsung models):

Code: Select all
sudo pip3 install websocket-client

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
samsungctl --host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --method websocket KEY_MUTE

Info about possible KEYs
samsungctl -i --host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --method websocket

@Jusufs

if(receivedCommand == OFF) executeCommandLine(“/usr/local/bin/samsungctl --host 192.168.100.200 --method websocket KEY_POWER”)
if(receivedCommand == ON) executeCommandLine(“/usr/local/bin/samsungctl --host 192.168.100.200 --method websocket KEY_POWER”)

Does this work for you? Once I turn the TV off I can’t turn it back on because the connection is dead. Thinking I may have to setup WOL for on.

P.S. Can you share your sitemap?

[Jozef_Szabo]

Hi.
Wol is functioning ok, but also the rule. It switch between power on and off. I will share sitemap.

[Jozef_Szabo]

Hi,
Prepare all as descibed in the installation above.

On sitemap I have only a group for Dreambox and Samsung
Frame {
Group item=DM8000 label=“DM8000” icon="receiver"
Group item=Samsung label=“Samsung” icon=“television”
}

Rules
rule “Samsung TV Pwr Toogle"

if(receivedCommand == ON) executeCommandLine("/usr/local/bin/samsungctl --host 192.168.100.110 --method websocket KEY_POWER")
end

rule “Samsung TV Volume Up"
when
Item TV_VolUp received update
then
executeCommandLine(”/usr/local/bin/samsungctl --host 192.168.100.110 --method websocket KEY_VOLUP")
end

rule “Samsung TV Volume Down"
when
Item TV_VolDown received update
then
executeCommandLine(”/usr/local/bin/samsungctl --host 192.168.100.110 --method websocket KEY_VOLDOWN")
end

Hi,

Did you cover a problem with going offline TV? Are you able to power on? I have version M (2017) and I can perform commands. I’ve noticed some strange behavior - I’ve added a POWER key with binding OH2 and I can read ON/OFF status (switch value updates), but I can’t send anything.

[Jozef_Szabo]

Hi, I switched to Raspbian stretch and all is not working :0(

samsungctl -i --host xx.xx.xx.xx --method websocket
Error: Operation now in progress

This is something with python3.4 versus 3.5 or
samsungctl 0.6.0 versus 0.7.0 or
websocket-client 0.44 versus 0.4 versions.

I copied python3.4 dist-packages to new python3.5 and it is working !?!?!

And also toogle TV power on/off in standby mode is correct.
Don’t forget switch off the authentification from new connections via wifi.

Is it possible to read somehow state of source - e.g. if it’s HDMI1 or HDMI2 ?

[Jozef_Szabo]

HI, look at table from 2.April. They are two functions, maybe one is equivalent of display sources on TV and another for info? But I have not tryed it. Good luck.
KEY_SOURCE
KEY_HDMI

[orzechszek (orzech)]

Unfortunately not…HDMI changes source and SOURCE shows all sources on TV… maybe any http request ?
I found: http://XXXXXX:8001/api/v2/ - but there is no info about it.
