I'm trying to figure out which Smart TVs have HS3 integration options and I want to check in with the community before I make a purchase. I've read through the forums and it's not clear to me what works on what model TVs.
My main interest is the ability to power on/off via WOL and the ability to change input. If I could also control other remote presses via HS3 (navigate menus/apps), that would be a great bonus.
This is what I have been able to figure out from the forums, so far:
If you have any experience controlling your Smart TV with either Dirk's media controller PI or Samsung TV Remote PI, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could post what TV you have and what you can control/do with it. Having this info in one place may be of great use to many people.

This is what I have been able to figure out from the forums, so far:
- For Samsung, it looks like both Dirk's Media Controller PI and Samsung TV Remote PI would be viable options, but since Samsung does not support WOL I would have to use a serial, IR or BT to manage power state and I'd like to avoid that, if possible.
- For LG, sparkman mentions that it works for LG TV. No word if WOL is possible, or what is controllable.
- For Vizio, the only info I can find is from a couple of posts by happnatious1. They say that the Media Controller PI does not find the TV, even though it is marked as supporting DLNA. There seems to be no config options that enable DLNA control. No info on age of the TV or model number, so I don't know if this is a Vizio thing or if happnatious1 just has an older Vizio that does not support DLNA control.
If you have any experience controlling your Smart TV with either Dirk's media controller PI or Samsung TV Remote PI, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could post what TV you have and what you can control/do with it. Having this info in one place may be of great use to many people.
Currently considering:
- Vizio M70-C3
- Samsung UN65JU650DFXZA
- LG 65UF8600
