I have been using the excellent node-red-contrib-samsungTV. I note the presence of KEY\_CUSTOM in the list of commands. Can anyone explain whether this works to send a custom key and if so how. For example KEY\_ENTER and KEY\_EXIT are missing. I can manually edit the flows to include these, and this works but is then invisible in the GUI editing.

I suggest you ask the person who wrote it:

[Here](https://github.com/Toxblh/node-red-contrib-samsung-tv-control)

If it the one of which I am thinking.

DOH - checked help in the gui - simple, leave command empty and pass values as msg.command - works with KEY\_ENTER and KEY\_EXIT.

I do have issues with HDMI input selection. KEY\_HDMI gives HDMI2 while KEY\_HDMI1 to KEY\_HDMI4 do nothing (the result is given as "success" no error message).

You are ahead of me with that.

But I would do it the other way and say:

`input select` then left/right to select the desired input.

So what exactly do you mean with the `KEY_CUSTOM` and how it works?
