Can the Beoremote One control a Samsung TV?

Not on its own. There is no official integration between Bang & Olufsen and Samsung. But Samsung TVs accept control over the local network, so with a bridge such as Home Assistant or a dedicated bridge like Lydbro One, the Beoremote One can control power, volume, source, and navigation.

Do I need Home Assistant to control a Samsung TV with the Beoremote One?

No. Home Assistant is one route and works well if you already run it. A dedicated bridge like Lydbro One controls the Samsung TV directly on the local network, with no Home Assistant or extra computer required.

Beoremote One + Samsung TV

Use your Bang & Olufsen remote to control a Samsung TV, power, volume, source, and navigation.

The Beoremote One is a beautiful remote, but Bang & Olufsen never designed it to control a Samsung TV, and there is no official integration between them. The good news: Samsung TVs accept control over the local network, so with a bridge in the middle the Beoremote One can drive power, volume, source, and navigation. This guide covers the realistic ways to do it.

Beoremote One remote used to control a Samsung TV

First, the honest part: there is no official B&O to Samsung link

Bang & Olufsen and Samsung are separate ecosystems. Every method below works the same way: something pairs with the Beoremote One, listens for its button presses, and sends the matching command to the TV. Modern Samsung Smart TVs expose a local WebSocket control interface for power, key presses, volume, source selection, app launching, and Frame Art Mode, which is what makes this possible. One requirement to know up front: the TV and the bridge need to be on the same network subnet.

Option 1: Via Home Assistant

Home Assistant has an official Samsung Smart TV integration that controls the TV locally over WebSocket: power, volume, sources, media keys, app launching, and Frame Art Mode. If you already run Home Assistant, get the Beoremote One's buttons into it first (see our Beoremote One + Home Assistant guide), then map those button events to TV actions. Note that the local WebSocket route keeps working regardless of Samsung's cloud, whereas the optional SmartThings method is moving to a paid plan, so local control is the more future-proof choice.

Option 2: Roll your own over Bluetooth

Because the TV speaks a documented local protocol, a small always-on computer such as a Raspberry Pi can pair with the Beoremote One and send WebSocket commands straight to the TV, no Home Assistant required. This is the most flexible route. The trade-off is that you handle the Bluetooth pairing, implement the Samsung control protocol, and keep the service running.

Option 3: A plug-and-play bridge (Lydbro One)

If you would rather not build anything, Lydbro One controls a Samsung TV directly, no Home Assistant or extra computer involved. It pairs with the Beoremote One over Bluetooth and talks to the TV on the local network, so power, volume, source, and navigation buttons simply work. It adds a TV quiet-hours feature to set screen-time limits, lets you choose what appears on the remote's display, and is configured from a built-in web UI, running locally with over-the-air updates.

What you can control

Power on and off
Volume and mute
Switch source and inputs (TV, HDMI)
Navigation and media keys
Launch apps and, on The Frame, Art Mode
TV quiet hours with Lydbro One, or any automation via Home Assistant

Which option is right for you?

You already run Home Assistant: use the official Samsung Smart TV integration and route the remote through HA.
You enjoy building with a Raspberry Pi: roll your own bridge over the local WebSocket protocol.
You want it to just work, with no server to maintain: Lydbro One.
