Samsung-WiFi-Soundbar-Speaker-with-SmartThings-Integration

This device handler controls a stand-alone Samsung WiFi soundbar or speaker. It has been tested on the Samsung HS-MS650 Soundbar and the R1 Speaker. It is expected to run on any of the Samsung Multiroom compatible speakers. If not, I will work to upgrade.

Capabilities

a. Music playback control

b. Device control (volume, mute, audio source, equalizer preset)

c. 8 Presets. Ability to set-up and then call up presets for channel or music playback.

d. 3 Group Presets per speaker.

This device handler for SmartThings integration was completed using the commands from Port 55001, as defined at the site "https://sites.google.com/site/moosyresearch/projects/samsung_shape". My appreciation for the many participants in that effort for their instrumental research and discoveries.
