How to remote control a samsung smart TV over TCPIP


I'am searching for an API which enables me to build an app, containing a custom remote control for a samsung smart TV. There are some API's documented at Samsung, but none of them seems to provide the functions which a standard remote has.

How does the original Samsung remote app communicate? Is it an undocumented api?


Solution

  • I solved the problem. I dont't know how, but the guys of openHAB implemented a working binding for samsung smart TVs. It uses exactly the interface I wanted to connect to. A reference implementation in Java is available at their Git repository https://github.com/openhab/openhab/tree/master/bundles/binding/org.openhab.binding.samsungtv
