Setting Inputs based on fixed name/value #425

Hi! Thank you so much for developing this plugin, it's much appreciated.

In setting up inputs, I've noticed something; this may just be user error, but wondering if there's a way around this. Changing inputs in the home app works ok, in that it goes from one to the other. However, because it's being done by pressing keys, it can lead to an unwanted input being selected. For example, If I'm on HDMI 2, and want to go to 1, I can choose the first and input and it will press source, go left 1, and press enter. But if I now go to HDMI 3, and want to go back to 1, it performs the same sequence, which ends up giving me hdmi 2, because it's 1 over from 3... So is there a way to identify inputs as static values or names, instead of navigating through the menus to change it? For example, in the Samsung app itself, or harmony hub, etc, you can just choose an HDMI input, and it will consistently go to that input every time, no matter what is currently selected, etc. This may be a Samsung limitation too, I'm not sure, but wanted to put it out there to see if we could look into it further. I'm happy to help in any way I can with this as well. Thanks again.

Hi,

until now we were limited to remote keys where you can’t choose a specific hdmi.

right now we are developing a new feature where you can.

You can follow this topic and also try the beta version. https://github.com/tavicu/homebridge-samsung-tizen/issues/321

Oh awesome, thank you so much. Where can I find the beta version? No rush, just glad that you're aware of it. I completely understand that you guys do this in your free time; I'm a developer too, so I get it. Haven't developed any home bridge plugins yet, but I may soon ;)
