Remote control Samsung televisions via TCP/IP connection

Project description

samsungctl is a library and a command line tool for remote controlling Samsung televisions via TCP/IP connection.

Dependencies

samsungctl requires Python 3, but currently no additional libraries.

Command line tool quick help

The command line tool can be installed with

python setup.py install

or run without installation with

python -m samsungctl

Use `--help` for more information about the command line arguments.

The settings can be loaded from a configuration file, which is searched from `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/samsungctl.conf` and `~/.config/samsungctl.conf`. A simple default configuration is bundled with the source as [samsungctl.conf](samsungctl.conf).

Supported models

  • UE40EH6030

  • probably almost all modern Samsung TVs with ethernet or Wi-Fi connection

References

I did not reverse engineer the control protocol myself and samsungctl is not the only implementation. Here is the list of things that inspired samsungctl.
