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.

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:

Download custom_components folder.
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

Use get_token.py to get your Samsung TV token (use --port 8080). Store TOKEN (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.
Note: In some models the TOKEN can expire after a time (maybe a week, month), or even the TOKEN can be invalidated due to a loss of TV power. In that case you have to repeat this process again.
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)
Reboot Home Assistant
Congrats! You're all set!

HDMI versions

H & J series TV's cannot be turned on over the network. If you have your Home Assistant server connected to the TV by HDMI, and configured so that you can call this service to turn on the TV:

service: hdmi_cec.power_on

So, you can use the HDMI versions and getting full control over your TV.

See HDMI-CEC integration

Additional Features

1. Send Keys

Send keys using a native Home Assistant service:

service: media_player.play_media

{
  "entity_id": "media_player.samsungtv",
  "media_content_type": "send_key",
  "media_content_id": "KEY_CODE"
}

Note: Change "KEY_CODE" by desired key_code.

You can get lots of key codes here

Here you can see an example of a Home Assistant script using the media_player.play_media service:

tv_channel_down:
  alias: Channel down
  sequence:
  - service: media_player.play_media
    data:
      entity_id: media_player.samsung_tv55
      media_content_type: "send_key"
      media_content_id: KEY_CHDOWN
