In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge

Samsung The Frame TV	Works		Integration lets Frame turn off properly instead of Art mode Saved copy My TV automations are simple but very effective: - turning my Samsung frame tv off instead of going to frame/picture mode. “Hey siri - turn tv off” turns Apple TV off which then triggers the frame to also turn off properly. Previously without the integration this would just result in the frame displaying art which was super frustrating - integrating my 10 year old Sony Bravia TV has allowed for turning on/off at the same time as my Apple TV/PS5 (it used to work via HDMI-CEC but it became buggy and the TV would randomly turn off during normal use and then randomly on at night when not in use … Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23.

Samsung UE46ES6750	Works Local		Added successfully Saved copy The problem I already successfully added a Samsung UE46ES6750 (192.168.188.61 powered off in the log file). My other Samsung UE55H6470 (192.168.188.88 in the log file) was not detected automatically, so I tried to add it manually, but it immediatly returns a "connection failed" message. I also tried a custom integration (https://github.com/d-lebed/ha-samsungtv-encrypted) to add this TV.

Samsung H and J series TVs	Partly works Local		Basic support for encrypted models added in 2022 Saved copy Proposed change This adds basic support for H and J SamsungTV models.
