System Requirements & Prerequisites
Required Information
- Install the SmartThings app on your phone/tablet and create a SmartThings account.
- Add each TV you want to control to the account.
- Get a Personal Access Token. Go to https://account.smartthings.com/tokens.
- Click the Generate new token button.
- Give the token a name, such as RTI Driver.
- Under Authorized Scopes select Devices and make sure all 4 checkboxes are selected.
- Select the Generate Token button. This gives you the Personal Access Token.
- Make a note of it — once you leave the page you can never get access to it again.
Important: To set up the driver and connect SmartThings TVs, you'll need a Personal Access Token. This is like a temporary password that only lasts for 24 hours, so be sure to create it on the same day you're adding or removing TVs.
- This token is only required when using Integration Designer. It is not used by the driver or the processor during normal operation.
- The processor and driver use OAuth, which doesn't have this 24-hour limit.
- For help creating the token, see the Driver Configuration section.
RTI System Requirements
- Integration Designer — 11.5 or later
- XP Firmware — 23.5.11 or later
- Internet Connection — Required for both ID11 and the XP processor
Driver Requirements
- Correctly configured SmartThings Personal Access Token
- OAuth authorization needs to be completed
- TV must be added to the SmartThings app
- If you cancel the discovery, you will need to manually enter the IP address and MAC address of all devices you have added to the project
- For each TV in SmartThings, a new instance will be added to the driver
- To add a device to the project, go to Add Workspace Item / Drivers / Existing Drivers and press the + next to Tizen TVs with SmartThings. Any devices not already added to the project will be listed there
Device Configuration
- You need to allow notification prompts. Go to Settings / General / External Device Manager / Device Connection Manager / Access Notification and set it to First Time Only.
- You also need Power on by Mobile enabled. Go to Settings / General / Network / Expert Settings.
Driver Configuration
Make sure all TVs that you want to use are powered on and connected to the network, or discovery will not work.
- Add the driver to Global.
- Once added you will be asked for your Personal Access Token — enter it here.
- You will then be asked if it is OK to scan the network for devices and retrieve the configuration from SmartThings.
- If you select Yes, ID11 will scan the network for any Samsung TVs, retrieve the configuration from SmartThings and add them to the driver.
- If you select No, the driver will be started with no TVs available. You will need to select the Synch Driver with SmartThings option to continue.
- Once the driver is synched, any TVs associated with SmartThings will be available to add to your project.
- Go to Add new Workspace Item.
- Select Drivers.
- Under Tizen TVs with SmartThings in the Existing Drivers section you will see all the TVs available. Add the ones you wish to use.
- If you haven't performed a discovery yet, you will need to either select Discover Devices, or manually enter the IP address and MAC address of all devices you have added to the project.
OAuth Authorization
- Upload the project to the XP processor — OAuth authorization cannot be performed until the project has been uploaded.
- In the Integration Designer workspace select Global / Processor and select the XP processor.
- Select Settings, then either:
- Copy URL — if the SmartThings account holder needs to perform the OAuth authorization. You will need to send them the URL for them to open in a browser.
- Launch URL — if you are going to perform the OAuth authorization yourself.
- Opening the URL in a browser brings up the RTI Authentication Dashboard. Select Authorize on the Samsung SmartThings panel and log in to the Samsung account, then follow the instructions from there.
- Once the authorization is complete you will be back on the RTI Authentication Dashboard, and the Samsung SmartThings panel should now show as Authorized.
