Hi, thank You for great HA integration. I cant fully / properly use it. I think I dont properly installed it. I have HA installed as a Docker image on Synology nas 920+

Ive use HACS. Add repository, add integration and restart HA.

I didnt have anycard on Lovelace. Ive manually put into "configuration.yaml" following snippets replacing proper Api key and device id.

media_player:
- platform: smartthings_soundbar
  name: Soundbar
  api_key: "YOUR API KEY"
  device_id: "YOUR DEVICE ID"
  max_volume: 30

I see a card in lovelace but it dont controll anything on soundbar. Pve put some wifi music on it and I cant even turn off speaker.

So finally

• do I need to put config manually or theres a place in Your code?
• where to look for clues why its not working?

[PiotrMachowski]

Hi,

your configuration is put in a correct place.

This problem occurs when device id is invalid, can you check if it is configured correctly?

[PiotrEsse]

Thank You for answer. Ive doublecheck - Device ID is correct. As for API key - Ive created one on this page: https://account.smartthings.com/tokens#

Ive set token to have almost all permissions (no "installed app" permission) but still it doesnt work.

I have homeassistant installed in my local network NAS (Synology) - maybe this is culprit of issues?

Errors are the same.

[PiotrMachowski]

Can you try to run this script?

Do you have SmartThings integration set up?
