Also, I saw Crestron Marketplace had a "certified driver" that used SSH? WTF? I want to stay away from their certified drivers if I can, as I've not heard good things yet, and they seem to be more trouble than they are worth. All the messages across the internet are rather old about this too, so I'm not sure if it's different now. It seems there may be a menu setting for this, like "Power On standby" or something? This is where I started to get nervous since information was conflicting (or maybe is different based on model). The manuals that I can find, do not mention a WOL packet. Connect on port 1515 using a TCP Client module? Is it that simple? I've heard some TV require a Wake-On-Lan packet to turn them on, and others have not mentioned that. Manuals all say that the protocol is same as normal MDC protocol (set the SetID up like normal). I've found some conflicting info, and need to find out what is correct. Now I have 2 buildings of the QM series, they are all spec'd for IP control only, and I want to make sure I'm good, as timeline is short. This link is what I used to find all the commands.Guys, I've controlled LOTS of Samsung TV's before, so I'm no stranger, but not any via IP before (always RS232 or EXLink). Below is a list of items that you can use for commands: Power on: \x08\x22\x00\x00\x00\x02\xD4 Just make sure to change the port below if you do that (after the IP). I used port 22 but you can adjust this if needed. Once everything is hooked up and you can reach your device on the network (default for these devices is that port 80 is open so you can reach it in your browser), you’ll want to make sure that your TCP device is set to TCP server. As I like to keep all my configurations on my PFSense, I switched this to DHCP.
The TCP to RS232 that I bought had a default IP of 192.168.0.7 and admin admin for username/password. (optional) Since I have POE on all my switch ports, I also bought a POE splitter here. This port looks like a headphone jack (3.5mm) but is indeed RS232. The main reason I did this was to make sure my TV stayed off the internet to keep the ads away/data mining. I am able to adjust volume, HDMI, and power easily. Didn’t find any documentation on the site so wanted to help out anyone that is thinking of a similar setup.
Just making this post about how I added in my Samsung TV to HA.
