Samsung 2022 TV adapter for ioBroker

First start configuration.

configuration description
IP address Provide the IP address of the TV here. You might get this from your router configuration. Make sure, that the IP address does not change over time. This is dependent on your local network configuration
mac address This configuration is needed to wake up the TV when it's idle. The mac address may be obtained from your router as well.
REMOTE_NAME This is the name, that will be displayed in the configuration of your TV. It will name the adapter in order to distinguish it from other connected remotes
TOKEN This is a secret generated by the TV on the first connection. See further how to create one.

Token generation

  1. Turn on the TV
  2. Configure the correct IP and mac address
  3. The adapter should restart automatically when the configuration is saved
  4. On your TV, there should be a popup with a connection request.
  5. Approve / allow the connection
  6. The token will be obtained automatically and saved to your preferences.

Getting started

You are almost done, only a few steps left:

  1. Clone the repository from GitHub to a directory on your PC:

    git clone https://github.com/Marinek/ioBroker.samsung2022
  2. Head over to src/main.ts and start programming!

Best Practices

We've collected some best practices regarding ioBroker development and coding in general. If you're new to ioBroker or Node.js, you should check them out. If you're already experienced, you should also take a look at them - you might learn something new :)

Scripts in package.json

Several npm scripts are predefined for your convenience. You can run them using npm run <scriptname>

Script name Description
build Compile the TypeScript and React sources.
watch Compile the TypeScript and React sources and watch for changes.
build:ts Compile the TypeScript sources.
watch:ts Compile the TypeScript sources and watch for changes.
build:react Compile the React sources.
watch:react Compile the React sources and watch for changes.
test:ts Executes the tests you defined in *.test.ts files.
test:package Ensures your package.json and io-package.json are valid.
test:unit Tests the adapter startup with unit tests (fast, but might require module mocks to work).
test:integration Tests the adapter startup with an actual instance of ioBroker.
test Performs a minimal test run on package files and your tests.
check Performs a type-check on your code (without compiling anything).
lint Runs ESLint to check your code for formatting errors and potential bugs.
translate Translates texts in your adapter to all required languages, see @iobroker/adapter-dev for more details.
release Creates a new release, see @alcalzone/release-script for more details.

Configuring the compilation

The adapter template uses esbuild to compile TypeScript and/or React code. You can configure many compilation settings either in tsconfig.json or by changing options for the build tasks. These options are described in detail in the @iobroker/adapter-dev documentation.

Writing tests

When done right, testing code is invaluable, because it gives you the confidence to change your code while knowing exactly if and when something breaks. A good read on the topic of test-driven development is https://hackernoon.com/introduction-to-test-driven-development-tdd-61a13bc92d92. Although writing tests before the code might seem strange at first, but it has very clear upsides.

The template provides you with basic tests for the adapter startup and package files. It is recommended that you add your own tests into the mix.

Publishing the adapter

Using GitHub Actions, you can enable automatic releases on npm whenever you push a new git tag that matches the form v<major>.<minor>.<patch>. We strongly recommend that you do. The necessary steps are described in .github/workflows/test-and-release.yml.

Since you installed the release script, you can create a new release simply by calling:

npm run release

Additional command line options for the release script are explained in the release-script documentation.

To get your adapter released in ioBroker, please refer to the documentation of ioBroker.repositories.

Test the adapter manually with dev-server

Please use dev-server to test and debug your adapter.

You may install and start dev-server by calling from your dev directory:

npm install --global @iobroker/dev-server
dev-server setup
dev-server watch

Please refer to the dev-server documentation for more details.
