Remote Controlling My Samsung Q8ยค
Tizen OS Platform (from api/v2 below)
API Exploreยค
There is contact. Main problem with python default samsungctl
is the ms.event.unauthorized I'm getting with this series for any use case.
update: Regarding auth read this: https://github.com/Ape/samsungctl/issues/114. Note that python code below works w/o token !

This works w/o auth:

Detour to JSยค
This has even NodeRED:
https://github.com/Toxblh/samsung-tv-control
conda install nodejs
npm install samsung-tv-control --save
node modules in $HOME then..., no idea why not in conda: /home/gk/node_modules/samsung-tv-control/lib
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Toxblh/samsung-tv-control/master/example/index.js -O r.js
config:
const config = {
debug: true, // Default: false
ip: "10.0.0.28",
mac: "123456789ABC",
nameApp: "NodeJS-Test", // Default: NodeJS
port: 8002, // Default: 8002
token: "12345678",
};
node r.js
Inspecting what's happening led to a first python api, where I can switch on/off the TV, send keys, send text or open a browser URL:

Funny that it works now w/o taking care for the token. Hmm...
