ashwinmj Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I'm trying to integrate a 2011 Samsung TV with model number 40UAD6000. It has a few apps (including Netflix), an app store, a home screen, and a wired ethernet connection. However, it's an older interface and isn't based on the Tizen OS. Is there a way to integrate this TV via IP control? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have serial control available, but I don't know of a serial driver for it, so I think IR is probably your only option. RyanE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therockhr Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 EX-Link (serial) is another option if it has it. It's very reliable if it has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therockhr Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Is the model number actually UA40D6000? if so it has EX-Link. I would do serial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashwinmj Posted September 21, 2021 Author Share Posted September 21, 2021 @therockhr thanks. Yes the model is exactly UA40D6000. Where would I get the driver for the serial control? Which connector on the TV is used for the Ex-Link? I couldn’t find any serial input on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of the Samsung [Serial][IR] drivers in the database that were made for a TV around the same time as yours should work. You will need to get a 3.5mm to serial connector. There are threads on here on how to make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashwinmj Posted September 21, 2021 Author Share Posted September 21, 2021 Thanks @therockhr. There isn't any port on the TV labeled Ex-Link or Serial. Are you sure the UA40D6000 should have it? The only 3.5mm port I see on the TV is for the headphones. When I do a driver search for Samsung [Serial][IR], I only find TVs with the letter E in the model number following the size as the lowest letter. So, I assume these corresponds to TVs a year newer than the one I'm trying to integrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesnt, then IR is probably your only option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashwinmj Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 @therockhr thanks for looking it up. I was wondering if maybe the Ex-Link on this TV has some other port that isn’t obvious. If it’s a 3.5mm connector, I guess I’m out of luck. Thanks for the help! just out of curiosity, if the TV did have Ex-Link, would it have been 2 way communication like IP control or still one way like IR?
