No controls in HA

[gio261198]

Hello, I followed all the instructions to install the integration, but when I click to open the entity I only see status and no other controls. I have also connected integration with SmartThings (token and device_id are correct) Any idea?

A screenshot and your configuration.yaml entry would help in troubleshooting this. Is there even no power on/off button in the Home Assistant UI?

If the power is off, typically only a power on/off button is shown, only when the media player is detected as on other controls are shown (volume control, source control, etc.)

I did manage to get some controls, like source, but I can't set the app on the tv(like Netflix etc.)

I am seeing this same issue. I can execute certain smartthings key commands when using developer tools such as ST_MUTE.

entity_id: media_player.samsung_tv_remote
media_content_type: send_key
media_content_id: ST_MUTE

This works to mute and after a few moments unmute.

Here's my config file info.

media_player:
  - platform: samsungtv_tizen
    api_key: !secret samsungapikey
    device_id: !secret samsungdeviceid
    host: 192.168.1.15
    mac: !secret samsungtvmac
    scan_app_http: false
    source_list: '{"Blue Ray": "ST_HDMI3", "Switch": "ST_HDMI2", "PC": "ST_HDMI1" }'
    app_list: '{"Hulu": "3201601007625", "Netflix": "11101200001/org.tizen.netflix-app", "YouTube": "111299001912", "Prime Video": "3201512006785", "Disney+": "3201901017640", "Amazon Music": "3201710014874", "WeatherNation": "111399000085"}'

The source's work but none of the apps do, the mute when using the default mediaplayer card in lovelace doesn't work, nor will it power off when you press the power button in the default media player card.

I haven't installed the default samsungsmarttv integration in HA just this one. Should I be doing something different?

I am leaving this here for reference in case some one else finds it useful. I did get mine to work after checking my device manager on the tv and finding the homeassistant was set to denied. I deleted it and set it back to allowed, this resolved it for me.

Hey I just got mine working, I checked on the tv and my home assistant under device connection manager was set as denied. I had to delete that and try to mute again then I could allow it.

@mystex this is indeed a common issue, many users do not realise that they blocked HA at some point on the TV, it's hard to pinpoint too as other home members can also block it without realizing it

I also have no control my config is as follows media_player:

• platform: samsungtv_tizen name: living Room 4k TV host: 192.168.1.126 mac: !secret samsung4kmac api_key: !secret samsungapikey device_id: !secret samsungdeviceid update_method: "smartthings" scan_app_http: false app_list: '{"Netflix": "11101200001", "Plex": "3201512006963", "Prime Video": "3201512006785", "Disney+": "3201901017640"}'

I could as mystex did get the tv to mute from a service call but nothing from lovelace. I did check its not blocked and HA isnt there at all and doesnt ask to connect either which i find very odd. Ive been through the settings on the TV and I cant find anything wrong but I may be missing something somewhere ill keep digging.

I can see what the TV is playing in the lovelace card btw not sure if thats of value or not but thought it worth mentioning.

I havent been able to get the samsung integration working for some time the HA one dont know if that matters
