Works for the most part on 2022 Samsung Tizen. Any updates ??? #148

First of all, GREAT WORK making Samsung IP control work. While they put in the specs that their TV supports IP control, very little support from Samsung if any. On my 2022 QN90B model, your existing GET TOKEN still works as well as your existing TV SEND (key) node - so I was able to have IP control for most of the Remote-Control buttons. Was not able to make your Power On node work, but I do that with IR command from other means.

One issue I cannot grasp is with your TV SEND node, I can send keys for KEY_UP, KEY_DOWN, KEY_RIGHT, KEY_LEFT and KEY_ENTER and they ALL WORK, except when I start the Channel Guide with KEY_GUIDE. Then, Up, Down, Left and Right still work as would expect; however the KEY_ENTER key no longer works? That is, I can open the guide, press DOWN 2 times to highlight a different program and when I press ENTER, nothing happens. I can pick up the remote and press ENTER and it will change to that channel. Likewise, outside of the Guide page, the ENTER key works just fine.

The GET_APP_LIST nor the OPEN_APPS nodes work on this model TV. It would be great if you could make them work for these newer model TV's. Would be great top open YouTubeTV with just one button press as opposed to Up, Right, Right, Right, Right, Enter.

Thank you for your hard work. I will be making a donation for your efforts.

Sad if doesn't works. Main problem with samsung, they year-to-year decrease ability (just software blocks) to do anything in local network and push a lot to use their cloud solution "smartThings". I'll try but not sure it possible to fix. List of apps maybe possible to fix if new versions of my TV is the same API with yours.
