How do I get a token from a samsung TV?

General
1

I am using this node:

node-red-contrib-samsung-tv-control

It says a token should show up on the debug window, but I see nothing.

Does anybody have any information is this node is working?

that node does not work reliably :frowning: .. i had it working once but after an upgrade I never got it working again .. due to token issue.

I think the network comms or handshake with the TV is not properly implemented

Oh well... apparently you can try the Samsung API too...

With so many nodes in Node-RED, would be nice to have a way to know which ones are working and which ones are not..

Thank you!

How old is the TV?
Does it have Smart things?

I control my Samsung from the authentic Samsung automation studio nodes.

  • On/Off
  • Source Input change
  • Sound level

Etc etc

But they require a Samsung smart things TV
Yes it’s cloud - but I can’t fault their nodes

I use that node/thing and it works for most things.

To get the token you have to go into the TV's menu and find the option to allow network control and get a token.

I can help with more details if you want.
But it may depend on the TV model exactly where it is in the menu structure.

Yes, it is a newer TV and it is connected to smart things from Samsung. I might try it that way when I get a little time.
