Installation

1. Easy Mode

TODO

2. Manual

Install it as you would do with any homeassistant custom component:

Download custom_components folder.
Copy the samsungtv_tizen direcotry within the custom_components directory of your homeassistant installation. The custom_components directory resides within your homeassistant configuration directory. Note: if the custom_components directory does not exist, you need to create it. After a correct installation, your configuration directory should look like the following.
```
└── ...
└── configuration.yaml
└── custom_components
    └── samsungtv_tizen
        └── __init__.py
        └── media_player.py
        └── remote.py
        └── shortcuts.py
        └── smartthings.py
        └── manifest.json
```

Configuration

Enable the component by editing the configuration.yaml file (within the config directory as well). Edit it by adding the following lines:
```
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
  - platform: samsungtv_tizen
