Hey everyone, I wanted to share my recent success in integrating my Samsung Smart AC with my home automation setup! 
I’ve been trying to get my AC to work seamlessly with my smart home ecosystem, and after some trial and error, I managed to crack it using OpenSSL. Here’s what I did:
- Getting the Token: I used OpenSSL to connect to my AC and retrieve a token. This involved running a command like
openssl.exe s_client -connect [IP]:2878and sending a token request. - Controlling the AC: Once I had the token, I could send commands to the AC to turn it on/off and adjust settings. It was a bit tedious since I had to manually input each command, but it worked!
Now, here’s where I need your help. I want to automate this process so I can control my AC through my smart home app without manually entering commands. I’ve tried using PowerShell and .NET’s WebClient, but I keep running into SSL/TLS handshake errors. Does anyone have experience with this or know a better way to handle the SSL communication programmatically?
I’m thinking of building a simple Web API to handle the commands, but I’m not sure how to pass parameters through OpenSSL. Any suggestions or alternative approaches would be greatly appreciated!
Let me know if anyone has dealt with similar issues or has a workaround. I’m excited to get this working fully and would love to share my progress once I crack it!
Cheers,
[Your Name]
