It would be amazing if there were a way to send over images to my frame tv in art mode, via Home Assistant. That might be outside the scope of this plugin. And certainly, with Samsung locking the API on newer models, it's probably not as exciting of a task to take on. Is there any way to remotely control what art is on my Frame TV?

Hi @ben174,

When I had the frame I remember there was a way to send art mode. But it was through the API that samsung decided to remove on the new Frames.

Also, the plugin is for Homebridge (not Home Assistant) and HomeKit don't have any way of uploading images :)

My Marketplace SamsungTV binding for Openhab can do this for 2021 frame TV's. Uses the old API websocket removed for 2022 Frame TV's. Don't know if it works on earlier Frame TV's.

The code (in java) on how to do it is here: https://github.com/NickWaterton/openhab-addons/blob/samsungtv-framefixes/bundles/org.openhab.binding.samsungtv/src/main/java/org/openhab/binding/samsungtv/internal/protocol/WebSocketArt.java
