Not in ReReHome
It supports AirPlay 2, so you can stream to it from an iPhone, iPad or Mac, but it can’t be added to the Home app, so ReReHome can’t switch it on or off, change inputs or show its remote. Homebridge can add it, though; see below.
Bridge it with Homebridge
Works with Homebridge
Samsung TV support is the strongest of any AirPlay-only brand. Samsung Tizen TV is a verified plugin for every Tizen set from 2017 on, and it covers Art Mode on The Frame. The TV has to be on the same subnet as Homebridge. A free SmartThings link adds HDMI input switching and picture modes. Reports are mostly good, with a few sets that drop power state or fail to pair.

- Apple's accessory page listed this product from 2019-02-03 to 2019-04-02 (Wayback Machine snapshots, section “AirPlay 2–Enabled TVs”); it is not on the current page. Apple does not say why a product leaves the list, and many remain in use.
