This logic needs to be added to the upstream samsungctl library.

I'm afraid that would be out of scope for this library, since the library just focus on control via websocket, and does not interact with the REST endpoint for now.
If it's required I'll try, but not sure my code make it to samsungctl library.

@RiRomain I have the same issue with my UE40 MU6179 UXZG and tried the code from the PR. I updated the samsungtv.py and added the get_status_via_rest Flag to my configuration.yml, but it did not work. After updating I can switch off the TV using Home Assistant. Is it okay to just swap the code in samsungtv.py and restart Home Assistant, or do I need to do anything else? |

If you can switch it off, what is the issue? Not sure how to do it on a live hass, I used a dev instance (using pycharm on windows). |
This new method "is_tv_on()" report the status of the TV. This aim at avoiding sending a dummy key for TV using websocket, doing so can wake TV up if send during an update, or during an update status check. home-assistant/core#11179

fixes #12302 (I think) |

This PR seems to have gone stale. Rest logic needs to go into the lib being used. Closing it. You can reopen it when you're ready to finish it. |

I did open a request in the lib, but seems it won't be merge any time soon. Ape/samsungctl#71 |

Description:
Optionally get the status of a Samsung TV using Samsung's REST end point.
This avoid sending a dummy command that wake up some of the newest model.
Detail: When checking for update, the TV wakes up and connect to wifi. If during this time, the status was queried (by sending a dummy command), the TV would be turned ON.
This commit fixed that by checking if the REST endpoint is available instead of sending a key command.
The status of the TV will still appear as ON for a few second several time per day which could be problematic for automation, but at least the TV won't be turned ON and the status will be set back to OFF after a few seconds.
