HomeAssistant - SamsungTV Encrypted Component

This is a custom component to allow control of Encrypted SamsungTV devices in HomeAssistant. This should work on H and J 2014/2015 models (according to PySmartCrypto specs). Is a modified version of the built-in samsungtv with some extra features:

Additional Features:

• Send keys using a native Home Assistant service (WIP)
• Customize source list at media player dropdown list (WIP)

Installation (There are two methods, with HACS or manual)

1. Easy Mode

We support HACS. Go to "STORE", search "SamsungTV Encrypted" and install.

2. Manual

Install it as you would do with any homeassistant custom component:

1. Download custom_components folder.

2. Copy the samsungtv_encrypted direcotry within the custom_components directory of your homeassistant installation. The custom_components directory resides within your homeassistant configuration directory. Note: if the custom_components directory does not exist, you need to create it. After a correct installation, your configuration directory should look like the following.

   └── ...
   └── configuration.yaml
   └── custom_components
       └── samsungtv_encrypted
           └── __init__.py
           └── media_player.py
           └── manifest.json
           └── get_token.py
           └── PySmartCrypto
               └── pysmartcrypto.py
   

Configuration

1. Use get_token.py to get your Samsung TV token (use --port 8080). Store CTX and <SESSION_ID> output. Your TV must be turned on and connected to Internet with the specific IP. Terminal where you have executed get_token.py will ask for a PIN, that will be showed in your TV screen.

2. Enable the component by editing the configuration.yaml file (within the config directory as well). Edit it by adding the following lines:

   Example configuration.yaml

   media_player:
     - platform: samsungtv_encrypted
       host: IP_ADDRESS
       token: TOKEN
       sessionid: SESSION_ID
       port: 8080
   

   Note: This is the same as the configuration for the built-in Samsung Smart TV component, except for the custom variables.

   Custom variables

   • token: (string) This contains the token of your encrypted TV (got in step 1)
     

   • sessionid: (string) This contains the sessionid of your encrypted TV (got in step 1)
     

3. Reboot Home Assistant

4. Congrats! You're all set!
