Homebridge Samsung Tizen

Appearance

Examples ​

The settings screen in Homebridge UI writes the config for you. These examples show what it looks like in config.json. Every key is described on the Settings page.

TIP

Assign a static IP address to each TV on your router before you add it.

Subnet

Samsung TVs do not allow WebSocket connections across subnets or VLANs. The TV has to be on the same subnet as Homebridge.

inputs, switches and keys can be set once on the platform, and every TV gets them. Inputs and switches set on a TV are added on top of the platform ones. A key set on a TV replaces the same key from the platform.

clientId and clientSecret belong on the platform. deviceId belongs on each TV. See SmartThings integration.
