Samsung / Tizen TV API v2

[Joep]

Hello,

I found this Python script to control a Samsung Smart TV.
Can someone help me to modify this Python script to a Lua script?

Thanks in advance.

This API uses websocket/JSON. You can use this example as a starting point: https://forum.logicmachine.net/showthrea...1#pid16331

Got this so far but i'm strugling with the payload. What's the correct way to send the commands?

Code:

12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334353637383940414243444546474849505152

host = '192.168.126.54' port = 8001 name = 'SamsungTvRemote' if not client then   ws = require('user.websocket')   json = require('json')   url = 'ws://'..host..':'..port..'/api/v2/channels/samsung.remote.control?name='..name   client, err = ws.client('sync', 10)   res, err = client:connect(url)     log( res, err)     if res then     client:send(json.encode({       payload = [[         'method': 'ms.remote.control',               'params': {                     'Cmd': 'Click',                     'DataOfCmd': key,                     'Option': 'false',                     'TypeOfRemote': 'SendRemoteKey'                 }               ]]     }))         client:send(json.encode({       payload = [['KEY_VOLUP']]     }))       else     log('connection failed: ' .. tostring(err))     client:close()     client = nil   end   else   data, _, _, opcode, err = client:receive()   if data then     data = json.pdecode(data)     if data then       log(data)     end   else     log('receive failed: ' .. tostring(err))     client:close()     client = nil   end end

Hi Joep,
have you tried with API cloud?

Try this:

Code:

123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536373839

host = '192.168.126.54' port = 8001 name = 'SamsungTvRemote' b64 = require('encdec').base64enc ws = require('user.websocket') json = require('json') url = 'ws://' .. host .. ':' .. port .. '/api/v2/channels/samsung.remote.control?name=' .. b64(name) client, err = ws.client('sync', 10) res, err = client:connect(url) if not res then   log('connection failed', err)   return end data, _, _, opcode, err = client:receive() resp = json.pdecode(data) if type(resp) ~= 'table' or resp.event ~= 'ms.channel.connect' then   log('invalid response', data, err)   client:close()   return end key = 'KEY_VOLUP' payload = json.encode({   method = 'ms.remote.control',   params = {     Cmd = 'Click',     DataOfCmd = key,     Option = 'false',     TypeOfRemote = 'SendRemoteKey'   } }) client:send(payload) client:close()

It's not working as i got an 'unautorized' reply. I know you first need to submit each remote control by a popup that appears a the the tv screen.

So for that i just tested with a basic url:
url = 'ws://' .. host .. ':' .. port .. '/api/v2/'

And then i got this response:
Samsung TV websocket 27.02.2023 14:08:28

* table:

* table:

The same url http://192.168.126.54:8001/api/v2/ in the webbrowser is giving me more information back:

It seems that you need to send KEY_HOME first to get the access token. Then add this token to the query string for further calls: ...samsung.remote.control?name=NAME&token=TOKEN
Add another client:receive() after sending the key and log the results.

This is the script so far:

Code:

123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536

host = '192.168.126.54' port = 8001 name = 'SamsungTvRemote' b64 = require('encdec').base64enc ws = require('user.websocket') json = require('json') url = 'ws://' .. host .. ':' .. port .. '/api/v2/channels/samsung.remote.control?name=' .. b64(name) client, err = ws.client('sync', 10) res, err = client:connect(url) if not res then   log('connection failed', err)   return end data, _, _, opcode, err = client:receive() resp = json.pdecode(data) log(resp) if type(resp) ~= 'table' or resp.event ~= 'ms.channel.connect' then   log('invalid response', data, err)   client:close()   return end key = 'KEY_HOME' payload = json.encode({   method = 'ms.remote.control',   params = {     Cmd = 'Click',     DataOfCmd = key,     Option = 'false',     TypeOfRemote = 'SendRemoteKey'   } }) client:send(payload) data, _, _, opcode, err = client:receive() resp = json.pdecode(data) log(resp) client:close()

The result is this:

Samsung TV websocket 27.02.2023 15:54:54
* table:
["event"]
  * string: ms.channel.unauthorized

-----------------------------------------------------

Samsung TV websocket 27.02.2023 15:54:54
* arg: 1
  * string: invalid response
* arg: 2
  * string: {"event":"ms.channel.unauthorized"}

* arg: 3
  * nil

Comment out this check before the key is sent and try again.

Comment out this check before the key is sent and try again.

Sorry but i don't understand what you mean with ' Comment out this check '

[admin]

Add comments to this check:

Code:

12345

-- if type(resp) ~= 'table' or resp.event ~= 'ms.channel.connect' then --   log('invalid response', data, err) --   client:close() --   return -- end

I have a working script now using wss over port 8002. Only issue is that the TV keeps asking to accept the connection and it seems the token is changing all the time as i got a new one so now and then while testing.

Code:

12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334

host = '192.168.126.54' port = 8002 name = 'MyRemote' token = 16687249 b64 = require('encdec').base64enc ws = require('user.websocket') json = require('json') url = 'wss://' .. host .. ':' .. port .. '/api/v2/channels/samsung.remote.control?name=' .. b64(name) .. '&token=' .. token client, err = ws.client('sync', 10) res, err = client:connect(url) key = 'KEY_MUTE' payload = json.encode({   method = 'ms.remote.control',   params = {     Cmd = 'Click',     DataOfCmd = key,     Option = 'false',     TypeOfRemote = 'SendRemoteKey'   } }) client:send(payload) data, _, _, opcode, err = client:receive() resp = json.pdecode(data) log(resp) client:close()

Hi there,

I am in the same situation as Joep.

websocket library working and comunicating with Samsung IP, but each time i send a KEY command the TV send us a new Token string and ask us to confirm the device.

Anyone have improved this?

And the wol packet i tried several scripts to switch ON the TV without success.... any idea about?

Here's a working WOL script. I just tested with my Samsung tv and it works. Also for my pc and i believe many other devices.

Code:

1234567891011

function wol(mac) local m = ''   for w in string.gmatch(mac, "[0-9A-Za-z][0-9A-Za-z]") do     m = m .. string.char(tonumber(w, 16))   end   local udp = require("socket").udp()   udp:settimeout(1)   udp:setoption("broadcast", true)   udp:sendto(string.char(0xff):rep(6) .. m:rep(16) , '255.255.255.255', 9) end wol('60:2D:BE:C3:4A:BC') -- MAC address of your device

Thank you very much Joep. I will try it later.
