Samsung TV Remote for models 2014+

This project is a proof of concept to remote control Samsung TV models 2014+ which require encrypted communication with the internal web service of the TV.

Credits go to Ape/samsungctl#22.

Models working

Until now I could test the connection with my own TV. If you have any new insights with other models, please share your results, so I can update the following list.

Demo

To try out the API quickly, there is a demo which can be found in the ./example/ directory. To start the demo, please use the following commands:

$ yarn install
$ yarn start

This will start a server at http://localhost:3000. After the server is started, open the URL in your browser. You will see a demo UI, which allows you to easily connect to your TV.

Getting Started

To use the API within your project, you will need to follow these steps:

Configuration

The following configuraiton details are required:

const deviceConfig = {
  // address of the TV device
  ip: '192.168.178.50',

  // your client identification  
  appId: '721b6fce-4ee6-48ba-8045-955a539edadb',

  // user id for the connection with the TV
  userId: '654321',
}

Usage

Create and initialize an instance of the SamsungTv library:

const SamsungTv = require('./lib/SamsungTv')

const deviceConfig = {
  // ...
}

const tv = new SamsungTv(deviceConfig)
tv.init()

Then request the PIN:

tv.requestPin()

The PIN should appear at your TV.

Confirm the PIN and establish connection:

tv.confirmPin('9603')
  .then(() => tv.connect())

After the connection is established, use SamsungTv#sendKey() to send keys:

tv.sendKey('KEY_MUTE')
