problem after adding tv to HK

[Dorian-Grim]

TV model:

• "model": "14_X14_BT"
• "modelName": "UE32H6400"
• "msfVersion": "2.0.24"
• "firmwareVersion": "Unknown"
• "type": "Samsung SmartTV"

What I did:

1. I installed the plugin in HB UI
2. in the plugin settings configured mac (got from router), UUID and IP, which I got from http://myTVip:8001/api/v2/
3. configured a switch with the name test, that changes channel to channel number 5
4. restarted HB. At one point I saw in the logs [2/17/2022, 10:43:11 AM] TVbedroom 9B5F is running on port 33879.
5. in HK I added tv as accessory and as a pin I put in my HB pin.
6. Accessory added (tv was on) so automatically in HK the accessory was set to ON state

What I did not do, it did not show any pop-up:

Problem:

• the switch doesn't work. The channel doesn't change to 5
• can't turn the tv OFF while it's ON
• can't turn the tv ON while it's OFF
• if I toggle the ON/OFF button in HK, it automatically reverts to the real state of the TV. So if I turn the toggle OFF while the TV is ON, the toggle stays off for 5 seconds, then by itself turns back on (the real state of the tv).

From the error, your TV is not compatible with the plugin. The TV it's an older generation which uses another API/method of pairing.

Unfortunately you need to search for another plugin which works with your TV.

I will use the logs you posted and in a future version will show an error message that the TV is not compatible.
