HTExperts Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I'm using the new Samsung UN65LS003 (Frame TV) and have set up the IP driver from the Control4 website. On the Samsung remote there is just one power button. If you press it it turns the tv on or press it again and it turns it to the picture frame mode. If you hold it down it can turn the tv completely off. The IP driver only seems to have the on and full off functionality. I haven't been able to figure out how to make it revert to the "art" mode when I execute a "room off" command. Has anyone found a fix or work around for this?

lippavisual Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 No command for it in the IP API. Workaround: dealer creates your own IR driver to discretely access art mode. Could even make it an experience button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Art Mode functionality was not implemented in the initial released version of the driver (which was for all 50ish models in Samsung's 2017 line, not just the Frame TVs). Work for Art Mode is done, and the drivers are in testing. Once they've finished testing them, they'll be released to Control4's online database. The Art Mode support will include a new 'mini-app', which would need to be installed, called 'Art Mode', which allows you to start Art Mode from Control4 Navigators or programming, by selecting it as a source (like the Netflix, YouTube, etc. mini-apps). The LS003 drivers will have a new property, called 'On Power Off', which can be set to 'Power Off', or 'Art Mode'. When set to 'Power Off', it works as it currently does, when the driver gets a Room Off, it will power off. When 'On Power Off' is set to 'Art Mode' and a Room Off is issued, the TV will switch to Art Mode. If Room Off is issued while the TV is in Art Mode, it will power off the TV. I apologize that this didn't make it into the initial driver release, but it should be released in the next couple of weeks.

HOMECINEMAS Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Hi! I have talked to SAMSUNG Europe and Service Departements and the IP control works only for TVs in the US. For Europe, only the new 2018 models will support IP control. There is no workaround for IP either. You can only use the Control4 (RS-232) Driver. Everything works fine with the Q9 and FRAME. Maybe C4 add ART Mode ON / ART Mode OFF / AmazonPrime / Netflix / YouTube as a RS-232 Command. Roland archidee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbooo Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I have a 2018 "The Frame" 55incher, or at least I assume I do - it's 2018 and I just bought it. The IP driver does not appear to work, or if it does I cannot find out where to enable IP control in the TV. I tried just issuing the pair command a bunch of times but no result. Anyone have any info, is there any chance of doing this or do I need to stick an IR bud to the otherwise super sleek TV. Wouldn't bother me personally but the customer might not be thrilled!

RyanE Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 timbooo, where are you located? The instructions for installing the driver (and enabling IP control) are in the driver's documentation tab. If you've updated the firmware of the TV to the latest version, and do not have the IP Control enable options, it can't be controlled via IP. Sorry.

JGLI Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 If I want to power the TV completely off so that motion doesn't not turn it on, do I just send Power Off? My dealer told me to issue two Power Off commands but sometimes it comes back on. When I turn it back on programmatically I want it to go right into Art mode but quite often it goes to TV mode (we have it connected to Tivo) and its on the Tivo screen saver.

dolcephil Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I am currently integrating a Samsung Q9FN and a LS003 Frame TV. I am using the current up to date 2018 drivers for each and am using the universal mini drivers for art mode, Netflix, amazon, youtube etc. I noticed that the Samsung branded drivers do not work any more - they won't connect to the Samsung app switcher in the connections section of Composer. The video streaming services are launched as sources under the watch navigator without issue. However, Art Mode is not working, whether you select it as a source on the watch navigator or whether you set the TV driver setting "On Power Off" to go to Art Mode. What is the status of this Ryan? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolcephil Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Just following up on my last post - it appears that the universal mini drivers do not support control - i.e. they do not map/connect to the TV drivers commands for navigation (i.e. left, right, up, down, transport commands, etc).

Are you sure the mini drivers are 'connected' (in Composer parlance) to the TV driver? edit: sorry in previous post you say they do load the apps, so I guess they must be.

'Totally off' is a hold down of the power key on the original remote (which is of course the power toggle code). I did this by creating a new driver, taking an IR code for "power toggle" from a Samsung TV IR driver and setting it to repeat count 40, and saving that as the 'totally off' command. I then just bound that to one of the custom buttons on the remote. It seems C4 hasn't got a function for holding down a button, other than volume keys, unless I just don't know of it (which is super possible).

dolcephil Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 That is correct - the mini drivers are bound under connections to the Samsung App Switcher. When I look at the documentation for the mini drivers it refers to a passthrough mode which passes control over to the connected device - i.e. in my case the TV. However, there is no action/drop down in the mini driver currently to configure this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice on the Amazon Fire mini drivers, if you choose "netflix" or "iplayer" or whatever, the source on the remote shows up as "Fire TV" i.e. the source switches to the actual device and passes commands etc. Does your remote show the TV as the source, or the mini driver? Just trying to suggest avenues of further investigation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolcephil Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 The remote/GUI shows the mini driver as the source currently. And yes, I have tried removing both TV and mini drivers, rebooting the processor and then re-adding them to no avail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfh Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 @RyanEIs there a driver coming for the 2019 Frame TV (the LS03R)? Ideally the European one (UE55LS03R). At this point no IP driver seems to work for this TV. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mujtaba.khokhar Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I have mine working for my 49 inch frame tv via iP It’s been working for a while now Attached is the driver info for the one I’m using. Honestly it’s not missed a beat. Also Samsung related a huge firmware update for their TVs so before using the driver please update your TVs Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
