I am not a developer at all, I am learning python and wanted to try this. Let me know any improvements or issues and i will try help. This is still a WIP.

Features

**Update

I have added WOL, You will need to add your MAC address to your configuration. Volume and source list issue fixed and current state thanks to @jaruba .

• Set volume
• Step volume up / down
• Set mute / unmute
• Show if muted / unmuted
• Show current state on / off
• Show current source (Digital TV, HDMI 1, HDMI2, APP NAME)
• Show current volume
• Add source list
• Set source to X
• Add WOL

Todo:

• Current digital channel should work but have no way of testing.
• Add ping method for state
• Automatically populate device IDs
• Play Pause work

Cant:

• Turn on via WIFI
• Launch an app via smartthings api (may have work around)

Set up

Make sure your TV is logged into your smart things account.

Obtain an API key from https://account.smartthings.com/tokens

Go here for your device id for each device. Click on the name of your TV and the device id will be in the URL

In your configuration.yaml add:

media_player:
  - platform: smartthingstv
    name: My TV name
    api_key: "YOUR API KEY"
    device_id: "YOUR DEVICE ID"
    mac: "YOUR MAC ADDRESS"
    expand_sources: True
