Random stuff learned about EX-LINK via RS232
The EX-Link port plugs into a 3.5mm keystone wall jack, to 15m of Solid copper 4 core Station Wire, to a MAX232, to ESP32 PoE ESPHome module, mounted in a 42u rack.
If you need to find out a code from your remote enable debug on the EX-Link port
Connect your RS232 cable to the EX-Link port then open Putty or other terminal Use 115200 baud rate and port.
Note: Putty can't translate hex so you will see nothing in the console when not running debug. Use terraterm or something else that supports serial hex I/O.
Power Off -> Mute -> 1,8,2 -> Power On Control -> Sub Option RS-232 Jack -> Left = Debug Serial Log On/Off = On Watchdog = Off Restart the TV (Turn it off and on again)
When you press the button on the remote you will see these keyVal
[A_APPCM/Fatal] 1626 : @@@[KEY_PROCESS] [DTVInputService] t_OnEvent type [20] , keyVal [0x79] <= The value we want
[A_APPCM/Fatal] 1627 : @@@[KEY_PROCESS] Send Background App [rootapp] Key [121] bSync [TRUE]
[A_APPCM/Fatal] 1628 : @@@[KEY_PROCESS] Current App[rootapp] bConsumed [0]
[A_APPCM/Fatal] 1629 : @@@[KEY_PROCESS] Send Background App [mbr] Key [121] bSync [TRUE]
That keyVal is the button pushed.
Now you just have to compute the checksum
0x08 + 0x22 + 0x0D + 0x00 + 0x00 + 0x79 = 0xB0
0x100 - 0xB0 = 0x50
The final command: 0x08,0x22,0x0D,0x00,0x00,0x79,0x50
If we send this to the EX-LINK port we should get: 0C 03 F1
Which means the command was sent OK. You should also see the SmartHub come up on this UN58H5203 generation of 2016 TV.
Don't forget to go back in to the Service menu and reverse the changes and restart the TV or RS232 Commands won't work on the EX-LINK port.
The Excel spreadsheets above will help you decypher most of the commands. Check at the bottom of the tizen one as there are more than 1 TV year sheets in that one not just Tizen.
You can grab 3.3v compatible Dual Port RS232 to TTL converter boards from Aliexpress that should do the same as the board I soldered together above which would make it easier and cheaper. Search terms: RS232 SP3232 TTL to RS232 Module RS232 to TTL MAX3232. The dual port one looks like this:
You can also get Serial to 3.5mm jack adapters on there and modules with a DB9 connector built in just make sure you get the right pinout as they can swap the tip and ring pins on some.
I personally like the route I chose as then I can extend the RS232 cable side for long runs. If you use the above method you will sort of be limited by the connections to be right at the TV.
My goal was to replicate this IR Remote fully in ESPHome Via the EX-LINK port instead of using IR.

Some TVs may not support this but seems to work fine on a 2016 that I was using. Otherwise check your connections TX RX swap etc.
If you don't have a 3.5mm EX-Link port on your SamsungTV there still may be hope with the USB port. One may be able to convert to an RS232 port changing some settings in the service menu. It uses the D+ and D- of the USB port for UART TX and RX.
With newer modules you can also just use the network to control but this method seems to be way more stable on this TV.
