Invalid device state - when using "digitalTV" value #560

Hi

Let me start with statement that for a long time all worked perfectly.

Now when I use switch changing channel to number XXX, I get Invalid device state error in logs.

My configuration hasn't changed:

"switches": [ { "name": "News Channel", "channel": 341, "input": "digitalTv", "power": true },

I guess that the problem is with value "digitalTv" as since I have it also configured as input - it doesn't work either. It also receives the same error in logs.

That error is coming from the SmartThings API.

SmartThings (not so smart) is unpairing (sort of) the devices if you didn't use them in the SmartThings APP for a long time.

So what you will have to do is go into SmartThings App, remove the TV, then add it again. All keys will be the same, you will not have to do anything else. But that's if you can't control the TV from SmartThings App (it will appear as Offline)
