This stuff doesn’t seem exposed, just was hoping for a simple rule to set my soundbar to adaptive sound when streaming music… anyone have experience with this?
Is this not possible?
It depends on what the device integration with your smart home hub supports. Each smart home hub has different ‘drivers’ which expose different features and we mostly just pass those through (some platforms like Homey and Home Assistant have their core commands standardized so they’re the same as SmartThings and Hubitat, but more esoteric features are just passed through directly)
Does the device seem to expose a command which might be used for adjusting the sound mode?
I have a Samsung soundbar the q800a and run Smartthings. I don’t see a way to set the mode from a routine in either Smartthings or a straight forward way in Sharptools.
What commands and capabilities does the device expose?
In SharpTools, you can:
- Open your SharpTools User Page
- Tap the … next to the location in question
- Scroll down and tap on the device in question
- Copy and paste or screenshot the features of the device
It doesn’t look like there’s a simple command like setMode() or setSoundMode() or anything that seems like it would be an easy command for what you are looking for.
It looks like this does implement OCF which is common with Samsung devices, but their documentation on available OCF commands is very sparse.
That being said, here’s a thread where someone else installed an app that let them monitor the OCF communication with their device and they figured out they can use a command like:
- Command:
execute - Argument 1 (Text):
/sec/networkaudio/soundmode - Argument 2 (JSON):
{"x.com.samsung.networkaudio.soundmode":"standard"}
