System Requirements & Prerequisites

Required Information

  1. Install the SmartThings app on your phone/tablet and create a SmartThings account.
  2. Add each TV you want to control to the account.
  3. Get a Personal Access Token. Go to https://account.smartthings.com/tokens.
  4. Click the Generate new token button.
  5. Give the token a name, such as RTI Driver.
  6. Under Authorized Scopes select Devices and make sure all 4 checkboxes are selected.
  7. Select the Generate Token button. This gives you the Personal Access Token.
  8. 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.

  1. Add the driver to Global.
  2. Once added you will be asked for your Personal Access Token — enter it here.
  3. 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.
  4. Once the driver is synched, any TVs associated with SmartThings will be available to add to your project.
  5. Go to Add new Workspace Item.
  6. Select Drivers.
  7. Under Tizen TVs with SmartThings in the Existing Drivers section you will see all the TVs available. Add the ones you wish to use.
  8. 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

  1. Upload the project to the XP processor — OAuth authorization cannot be performed until the project has been uploaded.
  2. In the Integration Designer workspace select Global / Processor and select the XP processor.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Once the authorization is complete you will be back on the RTI Authentication Dashboard, and the Samsung SmartThings panel should now show as Authorized.
