Samsung Wake On Lan is deprecated #287

Description

@x0rnn

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Implicit WOL on Samsung is deprecated; the power button does not work reliably.

Describe the solution you'd like
The current solution for a basic toggle to turn on or off the TV is to add this automation:

alias: Samsung WakeOnLan
description: ""
triggers:

trigger: event
event_type: call_service
event_data:
domain: media_player
service: turn_on
service_data:
entity_id: media_player.samsung_tv
actions:

action: wake_on_lan.send_magic_packet
data:
mac: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

The power button in the Universal Remote Card for Samsung TV should be modified to send the magic packet to turn on the TV.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I use a direct toggle to turn on/off, not the power button.
