So far, I have openhab controlling my wemo and nest devices. However, I can’t seem to communicate with my Samsung TV. I opened a logged file and when I issue a mute command. I get the following error
2016-12-27 08:37:34.740 DEBUG o.o.b.s.i.SamsungTvBinding[:73]- Received command (item=‘mute’, state=‘ON’, class=‘class org.openhab.core.library.types.OnOffType’)

I checked the openhab.cfg file and I have an IP address. See below
Host of the first TV to control
samsungtv:livingroom.host=19.18.12.75
Can someone please explain why it is not picking up the IP address
