Samsung App Code and SmartThings tv Channel Name about homebridge-samsung-tizen-applications HOT 11 OPEN

Hi, thanks for your list!

You said that "Updated code list (not exhaustive for the new codes - you can get these using smartThing", could you please describe how? I'm missing a couple of local apps for Spain, Movistar+ and Filmin.

Thanks!!

Sorry, I was mistaken. Sadly, our friends at Samsung provide no clear access to the list. You can use the applaunch capability in
SmartThings to load the app by name. Definition of app launch:

[
id:custom.launchapp, version:1, status:proposed, name:launchApp, ephemeral:false,
attributes:[:],
commands:[
launchApp:[name:launchApp, arguments:[
[name:appId, optional:true, schema:[type:string]],
[name:appName, optional:true, schema:[type:string]]]]]]

Thanks again, @DaveGut!

I'm afraid I'm looking for a REST interface, not sure if the applaunch by name capability is exposed through REST.

Actually, i use https calls to the TV device in determining if an app is installed and then running the app. The code is in the zip file below undern name "davegut.samsungTvApps.

Code tests known apps against the TV set. If the app is installed, it returns a JSON file with the app name and appId. (I know of no way to obtain a list of apps from the TV.)

Additionally, the SmartThing interface is exposed using HTTP calls. That data is in the file below - where I interface to the SmartThings API. This driver (with the library above) provides local control of remote functions plus local app request/control. In addition, it gets attributes from SmartThings as well as providing non-remote control (like setVolume to an explicit value).

Neither do I, though there's an old post at Samsung's development forum with a piece of Javascript code which should get the list of apps:

https://forum.developer.samsung.com/t/app-ids-for-samsung-smart-tv/21687/2

Don't know how to run it, not a Javascript guy. Python would be a different matter.

That code uses the a list of possible apps and checks them one at a time. Same as I do in my code.

Now trying to make work this piece of code, that in theory should get the list:

    def app_list(self):
        _LOGGING.debug('Get app list')
        self._ws_send({
            'method': 'ms.channel.emit',
            'params': {
                'event': 'ed.installedApp.get',
                'to': 'host'
            }
        })

        response = self._process_api_response(self.connection.recv())
        if response.get('data') and response.get('data').get('data'):
            return response.get('data').get('data')
        else:
            return response

It's from the Samsungtvws library.

And this is from the Samsung's web API reference:

Finally!! Another quite comprehensive list of app ids plus how to extract them from the TV:
