The SmartThings Community app is able to set the source of Samsung TV’s to f.e. HDM1. But it needs a Personal Access Token (PAT) to do so. Since Samsung recently limited the validity of a token to 24H, this makes related functionalities useless.
But judging by the changelog of the Official SmartThings app, Homey was able to find a different solution to PAT. But the official SmartThings app does not have the option to set the TV source. Please add this option.
(I also checked the community app “Samsung SmartTV” but the source functionlity is broken and besides depends on PAT as well. And the official “Samsung TV” app only works with the Homey bridge)
Then, create a new Trigg in Olisto. Choose the “Olisto Connect” channel as the trigger. Choose “Connector activated” and create a new connector. Then, as the action, choose SmartThings->Start scene. Select your scene and activate the Trigg. You get the URL at which you can trigger the connector in your email.
Thank very much you for the extensive answer! I’m consider myself reasonably IT savvy, but home automation is completely new to me and only started this weekend. I’ll look into this Olisto option, have not heard of it before.
Had a quick look and I think for my particular use case this is overkill. I simply want: when the TV is turned on then by default HDMI1 should be selected. Since Samsung remembers the last input, this is not per definition the case.
I can do this in SmartThings itself, but since I started doing some flows in Homey, it would be nice to have everything under one roof. But not worth it to have 3 separate apps that needs configuring. So I’ll stick to SmartThings for now for this use case.
Maybe in the future if I start using dashboards as remote I’ll revisit.
