Flow to put The Frame in art mode

Questions & Help
1

I am trying to make a flow to put Samsung The Frame TV in art mode (the TV orginally in off state).
I am using the Smart Things app.
Using the “toggle on/off” command seems only to work when the TV has been turned off for a short time. If it has been turned off for a longer period, the toggle on/off turns the TV on, instead of putting it in art mode.
Has anyone found a good solution to this?

I have a non-Frame Samsung TV (so this may not work). The Samsung SmartTV-app for Homey allows you to send specific key presses via a flow to your Samsung TV. The following THEN card enables ambient mode, in my case. I assume this is the art mode on a Frame model:

Unfortunately there is no Art Mode option, and it’s not possible in the official SmartThings Routines either, although six years ago they said they would consider adding it one day.

Not sure, but is Ambient Mode not the same as Art Mode? The app (linked in my earlier post) can send a keypress that enables Ambient Mode.

I can confirm that sending the “ambient mode” key to the Frame actually puts it in art mode(!!)
I’ll test whether it also works when the TV has been turned off for a longer period - and will post back when I have tested it.
Thank you @SunBeech !!
