Samsung PIN-based TV intergration (UE32J5200AK)

[Ferbez]

The problem

Samsung TV integration mentions J-series support, though my UE32J5200AK doesn't really work - it just fails to connect. I tried to play around myself, and had partial success - through port 8080.

Commands like curl -X GET -i http://192.168.1.X:8080/ws/apps/YouTube gave me info about YouTube app, curl -X GET -i http://192.168.1.X:8080/ws/apps/YouTube/install opened SmartHub page with installation and most importantly - curl -X GET -i http://192.168.1.X:8080/ws/pairing\?step\=$\{step\}\&app_id\=$\{this._config.appId\}\&device_id\=$\{this._config.deviceId\} made PIN appear on TV screen. Is it possible to use Samsung TV integration on this TV?

Hi @Ferbez, can you show us the issue and the log when it fails with the integration?

[Ferbez]

It doesn't discover my TV automatically and when I try to manually setup integration via IP it just says "failed to connect". Samsung TV-related logs:

Port 7676 is for UPNP, and is only used AFTER the config entry is successful.
For now this port can be ignored.

"UE32J5200AK" is a "J" model, and according to the documentation:

H and J models
Some televisions from the H and J series use an encrypted protocol and require manual pairing with the TV. This should be detected automatically when attempting to send commands using the WebSocket connection, and trigger the corresponding authentication flow.

So you should be able to connect using the "legacy" mode.
Did you enable logging for samsungctl package or only homeassistant.components.samsungtv?

[Ferbez]

I enabled both samsungctl and homeassistant.components.samsungtv - there's no log entries for samsungctl in log. I even tried to enable debug logging for everything and searched through log - still no samsungctl entries. Looks like this TV just rejects connection - which port is used for configuration?

[epenet]

I don't have an H/J model to test with - so I'm not sure exactly how I can replicate your issue :(
