It handles both synchronous and asynchronous control flows, with optional support for encrypted connections on legacy hardware. The library exposes remote key commands, app management, device information queries, Wake-on-LAN, and Art Mode control for Frame TVs\u2014either programmatically from Python code or via a command-line interface.\n\nThe package depends on websocket-client, requests, and yarl for core networking, with optional extras for async I/O (aiohttp, websockets), encryption (cryptography, py3rijndael), and CLI tooling (typer, wakeonlan). It is actively maintained, marked as production-stable, and requires Python 3.9 or later. No known security vulnerabilities are recorded.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you own a compatible Samsung TV and need programmatic control. The library is actively maintained, has low install friction, and covers a broad range of TV models and control scenarios. The LGPL-3.0 license is permissive for most use cases but requires derivative works to remain open-source. The main gotcha is the subnet restriction\u2014your TV must be on the same network as your client."},"id":"samsungtvws","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/samsungtvws","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/samsungtvws.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/samsungtvws/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-28","license_spdx":"LGPL-3.0","license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"samsungtvws","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Samsung Smart TV WS API wrapper"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":117705,"position":12154,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.0.5"}
