Every button press requires the TV to give permission to the 'Samsung TV Remote'

[iPodHacks142]

I've got this set up using the configuration below. It's being detected as on in HA, and the controls appear. However, every time I click a control it pops up the allow permission menu on the TV. Even pressing allow does not bypass this, it just appears again next time.

Its as if the TV isn't seeing it as just one device. How can I fix this?

I have the same:

• platform: samsungtv_custom
  host: 192.168.1.227
  port: 8002
  mac: D0:D0:03:FF:03:66

  applist: "Netflix, NPO, Apple TV, Spotify, YouTube"
  protocol: ctl_qled

I got my K7000 to work with the ctl_qled setting. It does not require the authentication. When using the ctl_ws or the default or beta it kept requesting pin addition and did not allow to say "allow". Changing to ctl_qled and port 8001 now has volume and mute working, netflix, youtube and spotify. Have not got the hdmi sources to work yet. Listing as : seperated list did not work for me.

Same here. With port 8002, every action asks for permission.
With port 8001, I can still change channel or app, but nothing else work.

i experience the same: port 8001 works fine for turning tv on, and choosing source (app, live tv). but sending key commands only seems to work on port 8002. but on port 8002 i get asked for permission every few seconds even when i have turned the tv settings to only ask for permission at the first time.

edit: i use a Q70 55"

edit 2: it works fine now. what did i do? i removed both, the samsung stock integration and the configuration for samsungtv_custom from HA and deleted the access from the tv. then i re-entered the configuration for samsugtv_custom on port 8002 and allowed the access on the tv.
