I solved this with installing Smarthings on my tv, then added the RIng Doorbell to it, so now I get a live view everytime some comes.

You can send an “Enter” key with a delay after starting the video.

Well this was good, I was just about to tell I couldn’t launch the Netflix app cause it gave an error, saw this update, installed it and it worked right of the bat 🙂 Awesome 🙂

Another question @balmli can you share you flow for determine if watt is below 50w and then mark it as offline?  
Thanks for awesome work.

Hi! Thanks for a great app!! Turning on my TV via Homey only works 1 out of 20 times. I can’t figure out why, and any help is greatly appreciated.

The TV is a SAMSUNG 65" 4K UHD QLED TV QE95Q9FNAT - with WOL support as far as My understanding goes…

@Martin_Tschanun  
I see that sometimes the mobile app does not stay in sync with Homey / app, at least on iOS / iPhone.  
Can you hard restart the mobile app and then see if the status has been updated?  
And can you check the onoff status if you look at the device on [https://my.homey.app/](https://my.homey.app/) ?  
It’s also possible to search for the device if you open this link [Homey Developer](https://developer.athom.com/tools/devices)  
and check the “onoff” capability for the TV-device.  
I will appreciate help testing this 🙂
