Hi everyone, I’m excited to share my recent experience with the Samsung Q90T TV and how I’ve been integrating it with Home Assistant. I recently purchased this TV, hoping to use its Ambient Mode to display photos during the day. However, I’ve encountered some challenges that I’m hoping the community can help me with.
First, I’ve been trying to upload photos to the Ambient Mode using the SmartThings app on my iPhone. Unfortunately, I keep getting an error message: ‘ERROR, An error occurred with your mobile and TV devices.’ I’ve spent hours troubleshooting, resetting the TV, reinstalling the app, and even trying an Android phone as suggested by Samsung support. Nothing seems to work, and I’m starting to think this might be a deeper issue with the integration. If anyone has successfully set this up or has any tips, I’d be grateful to hear them!
On the Home Assistant front, I’m working on creating a dynamic calendar display that pulls events from my local HA calendar. I’ve been using a static entry before, but I’d love to automate this process. I came across some helpful templates that use Markdown to display upcoming events, but I’m struggling with getting the dates to update automatically. I’ve tried using some basic automation rules, but they don’t seem to trigger as expected. Any advice on how to make this more seamless would be fantastic!
I’m also curious if others have faced similar issues with integrating Samsung devices or setting up dynamic calendar displays. It would be great to hear about your experiences and any workarounds you’ve discovered. Let’s keep the conversation going and help each other out!
Cheers,
