The `samsungtv` platform allows you to control a
[Samsung Smart TV](http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/tv-audio-video/televisions/).

When the TV is first connected,
you will need to accept Home Assistant on the TV to allow communication.

To add a TV to your installation,
add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
  - platform: samsungtv
    host: 192.168.0.10
```

{% configuration %}
host:
  description: "The IP of the Samsung Smart TV, eg. `192.168.0.10`."
  required: true
  type: string
port:
  description: The port of the Samsung Smart TV. If set to 8001, the new websocket connection will be used (required for 2016+ TVs).
  required: false
  type: integer
  default: 55000
name:
  description: The name you would like to give to the Samsung Smart TV.
  required: false
  type: string
timeout:
  description: The timeout for communication with the TV in seconds.
  required: false
  type: time
  default: 0 (no timeout)
mac:
  description: "The MAC address of the Samsung Smart TV, eg. `00:11:22:33:44:55:66`. Required for power on support via wake on lan."
  required: false
  type: string
{% endconfiguration %}

Currently tested but not working models:

- J5200 - Unable to see state and unable to control
- J5500 - State is always "on" and unable to control (but port 8001 *is* open)
- J6300 - State is always "on" and unable to control (but port 8001 *is* open)
- JS8005 - State tracking working but unable to control (but port 8001 *is* open)

- JS9500 - State is always "on" and unable to control (but port 8001 *is* open)
- JU7000 - Unable to see state and unable to control (but port 8001 *is* open)
- JU7500 - Unable to see state and unable to control
- MU6300 - Port set to 8001, `pip3 install websocket-client` must be executed, turning on works, status not working reliably, turning off is not permanent (it comes back on)

None of the 2014 (H) and 2015 (J) model series (e.g., J5200) will work,
since Samsung have used a different (encrypted) type of interface for these.

If your model is not on the list then give it a test,
if everything works correctly then add it to the list on
[GitHub](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.github.io/tree/current/source/_components/media_player.samsungtv.markdown).
The first letter (U, P, L, H & K) represent the screen type, e.g., LED or
Plasma. The second letter represents the region, E is Europe, N is North America
and A is Asia & Australia.
The two numbers following that represent the screen size.
If you add your model remember to remove these before adding them to the list.

Changing channels can be done by calling the `media_player.play_media` service
with the following payload:

```javascript
{
  "entity_id": "media_player.office_tv",
  "media_content_id": "590",
  "media_content_type": "channel"
}
```

Currently the ability to select a source is not implemented.
