Try to connect UA65HU8500W

[giotdev]

This is 2014 model, so try the traditional way with port 55000. Seems the TV reject to setup the TCP

Try the websocket method. Installed websocket with command "sudo pip3 install websocket-client". When restart HA, got the error below:

did I install the websocket correctly?

 ImportError: No module named 'websocket'

There is something wrong with out websocket installation.

What does pip3 --version print on your system?

What does pip3 --version print on your system?

pip 9.0.1 from /home/pi/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages (python 3.5)

Also checked wireshark capture between SmartView iPhone App and the TV.

They first exchange the device and app details. Then the App initiates pairing to TV on port 8080. After that, there are some WebSocket packets on TV port 8000 and HTTP packets on TV port 8001

I think I might have found your problem. Your pip3 uses a different site-packages folder than your HA python installation:

pip3: /home/pi/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages
HA:  /srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.5/site-packages

You probably have to use pip in the HA python installation.

You probably have to use pip in the HA python installation.

You are absolutely right. I have to install websocket-client in the homeassistant virtualenv. Now the websocket works but I don't think the remote function will work.

I can see HA sent to following to TV in websocket: {"params": {"TypeOfRemote": "SendRemoteKey", "DataOfCmd": "KEY", "Cmd": "Click", "Option": "false"}, "method": "ms.remote.control"} and TV response: {"event":"ms.error","data":{"message":"unrecognized method value : ms.remote.control"}}

Also HA sent some PSH packets in TCP to TV port 8001, I believe this is the KEY values: 81:fe:00:86:ff:c0:be:48:84:e2:ce:29:8d:a1:d3:3b:dd:fa:9e:33:dd:94:c7:38:9a:8f:d8:1a:9a:ad:d1:3c:9a:e2:84:68:dd:93:db:26:9b:92:db:25:90:b4:db:03:9a:b9:9c:64:df:e2:fa:29:8b:a1:f1:2e:bc:ad:da:6a:c5:e0:9c:03:ba:99:e1:0e:b9:e2:92:68:dd:83:d3:2c:dd:fa:9e:6a:bc:ac:d7:2b:94:e2:92:68:dd:8f:ce:3c:96:af:d0:6a:c5:e0:9c:2e:9e:ac:cd:2d:dd:bd:92:68:dd:ad:db:3c:97:af:da:6a:c5:e0:9c:25:8c:ee:cc:2d:92:af:ca:2d:d1:a3:d1:26:8b:b2:d1:24:dd:bd

And nothing happen on the TV
