HomeKit with a Samsung tv Qled 2019

Good evening and a happy new year.

i have a Samsung tv and my iPhone xs is already connected to it. AirPlay works perfectly but the problem is i can’t connect the TV on HomeKit app. The QR code can’t be recognized by the app and there is nowhere the 8 digit code who the app asked me. Isn’t exist on the paper or in the device. What do you suggest?

A few things to note here.


Features are available through a firmware update on newer Samsung Smart TVs. The company says all 2019 smart TVs and select 2018 models will receive the firmware update. Apple’s HomeKit accessories guide points to these models for AirPlay 2 support:

  • Samsung FHD/HD 4, 5 Series (2018)
  • Samsung QLED 4K Q6, Q7, Q8, Q9 Series (2018 & 2019)
  • Samsung QLED 8K Q9 Series (2019)
  • Samsung The Frame Series (2018 & 2019)
  • Samsung The Serif Series (2019)
  • Samsung UHD 6, 7, 8 Series (2018 & 2019)

Make sure that your TV is updated with the new Samsung's firmware update.
