Ambient/Art Mode in SmartThings

[KH88]

Not sure if this is best placed here or in the Smart Home forum. 

I like to turn off my TV of a night time via an automation, but also like to have it displaying Art Mode during the day time. It would be great if TVs which supported it could automate the ON action to go into Ambient/Art mode rather than fully turning on.

EG. IF {08:00, Every Day}
       THEN {Samsung The Frame, On, Change Source Art Mode}

Could this be done via an App update potentially, as the app can already go into Art Mode...

@KH88: Thank you for the feedback. I have passed this on to our R&D Team to see if this can be implemented in any future products or updates.

I would like this feature also.

Hi,

I would like this feature too. 

Think this could be a must have when we turn off tv with remote in a bedroom for example to not be forced to turn on tv again when waking up or coming back home to benefit art mode during the day. 

thanks a lot,

Any news from rd ?

No news.... Gets more frustrating with each time you have to turn on the TV just to then put it in art mode.

I would like this feature. Any updates on progress? It’s been over a year since the original post.

Six years later... it's still not an option.

Has anyone found a way to do this?

This basic feature was also requested here in 2020, and on SmartThings forum with evidence of community demand, and there are numerous posts about people battling to stop the Frame automatically switching to TV mode. I have the latest firmware and software, but it still happens, and I still don't see the option in SmartThings  Routines or third-party apps like Homey Samsung Smart TV app.

Samsung Feature Request: please add Art/Ambient Mode to SmartThings Routine.
