The `samsungtv` platform allows you to control a [Samsung Smart TV](https://www.samsung.com/uk/tvs/all-tvs/).

{% include integrations/config_flow.md %}

### Turn on action

If the integration knows the MAC address of the TV from discovery, it will attempt to wake it using wake on LAN when calling turn on. Wake on LAN must be enabled on the TV for this to work. If the TV is connected to a smart strip or requires a more complex turn-on process, a `turn_on` action can be provided that will take precedence over the built-in wake on LAN functionality.

You can create an automation from the user interface, from the device create a new automation and select the  **Device is requested to turn on** automation.
Automations can also be created using an automation action:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
wake_on_lan: # enables `wake_on_lan` integration

automation:
  - alias: "Turn On Living Room TV with WakeOnLan"
    trigger:
      - platform: samsungtv.turn_on
        entity_id: media_player.samsung_smart_tv
    action:
      - service: wake_on_lan.send_magic_packet
        data:
          mac: aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
```

Any other [actions](/docs/automation/action/) to power on the device can be configured.

### Usage

#### Changing channels

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

```yaml
entity_id: media_player.samsung_tv
media_content_id: 590
media_content_type: channel
```

#### Selecting a source

It's possible to switch between the 2 sources `TV` and `HDMI`.
Some older models also expose the installed applications through the WebSocket, in which case the source list is adjusted accordingly.

### Remote

The integration supports the `remote` platform. The remote allows you to send key commands to your TV with the `remote.send_command` service. The supported keys vary between TV models.

### Known issues and restrictions

#### Subnet/VLAN

Samsung SmartTV does not allow WebSocket connections across different subnets or VLANs. If your TV is not on the same subnet as Home Assistant this will fail.
It may be possible to bypass this issue by using IP masquerading or a proxy.

#### H and J models

Some televisions from the H and J series use an encrypted protocol and require manual pairing with the TV. This should be detected automatically when attempting to send commands using the WebSocket connection, and trigger the corresponding authentication flow.

#### Samsung TV keeps asking for permission

The default setting on newer televisions is to ask for permission on ever connection attempt.
To avoid this behavior, please ensure that you adjust this to `First time only` in the `Device connection manager > Access notification` settings of your television.
It is also recommended to cleanup the previous attempts in `Device connection manager > Device list`
