Unable to pair UE65KS8005

[vannman]

When trying to pair my Samsung 8 Series (65)" (UE65KS8005) I get the following error:

npx homebridge-samsungtv-control pair1 192.168.1.191 5c:49:7d:52:97:b9
Please enter the pin you see on your tv
8193
Ok... sending "8193" to your tv to see if it works...

Using pair2 seems to work and I am able to add the TV in Home, but when sending commands I get the following error in the home bridge logs:

Any ideas?

Also get this error when restarting homebridge:

Hi @vannman, from what I can see, your television runs Tizen OS.

Have you tried this plugin instead "Homebridge Samsung Tizen" (homebridge-samsung-tizen)? My Tizen OS television works perfectly using that plugin.

The problem is that Samsung changed their API and I believe the errors you're getting is because of the changes between them. If you'd still like to use this plugin, I'd suggest either waiting for the DEVs to support the new API, or dig into the code yourself.

I hope this helps a bit.
