SRS-2 Overview
The Smart Room Sensor (SRS-2) is a nifty little device that works seamlessly with Samsung The Frame TVs. Its main purpose is to mimic the motion and light sensors found in all model years of Samsung The Frame TVs. This is achieved by directly connecting it to the One Connect Box.
Feature Highlights:
- Connects to the TV wirelessly via WIFI connection.
- Motion Detector - When in Art Mode the SRS-2 senses motion in the room to wake the TV from standby when motion is detected.
- Light Detector- When in art mode, the SRS-2 can sense light changes in the room to turn the artwork off when dark and bring the artwork back when the room brightens.
- Smartphone application for controlling settings, updates, and TV connection.
Compatibility
No need to worry about compatibility or making any modifications to your Samsung The Frame TV. The SRS-2 unit is designed to work seamlessly with all model years and screen sizes of The Frame TVs. And the best part? You don't even have to remove the frame from the TV to install it! Thanks to its WIFI connection to the Frame TV, installation is a breeze.
TV Setting Adjustments
Step 1: Launch the ART MODE screen by pressing the HOME button on the remote and navigate to ART MODE on the left navigation menu. (On older model years the menu and icon is across the bottom of the screen to the left)
Step 2: Scroll to the very bottom of the page and under “Art Mode Options” change SLEEP AFTER to OFF.
How the Samsung Frame TV’s Native Settings Operate
Night Mode
A setting within the TV’s Art Mode that will turn the TV off after one minute if there is a substantial decrease in the rooms ambient brightness (ie: when the lights are turned off). In some instances, adding a frame onto the tv can add enough shadow to fool the TV into thinking the lights are out and nobody is in the room. Night mode is often confused with the motion sensor on the TV, but actually has nothing to do with motion detection.
Sleep After
A setting within the TV’s Art Mode that watches for motion in the room to determine if the room is occupied. If no motion in the room is detected for a set period of time (2 min, 5 min, 30 min, 1 hr, etc) the TV will turn off until motion is detected, at which time Art Mode will turn back on.
Remote Control Communication / IR Sensor
The Samsung remote that comes with the TV uses a hybrid communication method of both Bluetooth and IR (infrared that requires direct line of sight) to send remote commands to the TV. Since Bluetooth uses radio frequencies, adding a frame to the TV would not interfere. If you are using other IR only functions or a third party IR based remote, then the frame would block this IR sensor on the bottom of the TV.
NOTE- The SRS-2 will not currently allow third party IR signals to control the TV. If you are planning on solely using a third party IR based remote to control your Frame TV with a Deco Frame installed, you will need to add an IR repeater such as our IR-3 to enable IR control.
How the SRS-2 Integrates with the TVs Settings & Sensors
Night Mode via SRS-2
The SRS-2 unit has an ambient light sensor to detect both from the front and the top of the device and sends commands to the TV to replace the light sensor that’s built into the TV and detect that light from another location in the room rather than behind the frame.
DO NOT enable Night Mode on the TV or you’ll find that the SRS-2 WILL NOT work as designed.
Sleep After via SRS-2
The SRS-2 is equipped with a mini radar/motion sensor tower that can detect motion in the room to turn the TV after a default of 60 seconds and back on when motion is detected. Since the TV has this feature disabled by default, we also have this featured disabled by default in the SRS-2. Click here for info on how to access the web interface to enable Sleep After on the SRS-2.
DO NOT try to specify the time delay in the TV’s settings or the SRS-2 WILL NOT work. Sleep After must be set to OFF.
NOTE: If the artwork is not shutting off automatically, it is likely due to the Art Effect setting being disabled. The Art Effect is a new setting that Samsung added in 2024 and must be enabled for the SRS-2 to control the Art Settings. You can find this setting next to Sleep Options in the Art Settings menu.
Device Features
The SRS-2 is designed to be a simple plug & play device that packs many features as described above. These basic features can be verified through some of the colored lights on top of the device.
- Power – When the device has power, the power LED will be solid white.
- Motion Detection – The vertical radar bar contains an omni directional motion sensor to detect motion within approximately 20’ and will send an on command to the TV to wake up from sleep mode. This will only occur when the Sleep After setting in the SRS-2 module has been enabled. Click here for info on how to access this setting.
- System – This is a multi-colored LED that can be used to indicate when a firmware update is occurring or some other admin task. See colors reference table below.
Color Indicators
NOTE: The colors table below was a feature added with firmware version v1.48 and beyond. For the latest firmware version click here.
| System LED Color | Meaning |
| Steady Blinking Blue | SRS-2 is initializing after power on. |
| Purple | Night Mode, waiting for room to brighten |
| Yellow | Sleep After, Waiting for motion |
| Cyan (light blue) | Powered off manually (remote, power switch, etc.), will not turn back on by itself |
Deco Frame App Setup

end of this guide for detailed instructions.
- Night Mode
- Night Mode allows the SRS-2 to automatically turn off your TV
when the ambient light in the room drops to a low level.
- The Dark Threshold setting controls how sensitive Night Mode is to changes in light:
- A threshold of 1 means Night Mode will activate only when the room is completely dark.
- A threshold of 5 means Night Mode will activate even when the room is moderately dim.
- Sleep After
- The Sleep After setting controls the Motion Detection feature of the SRS-2.
- When enabled, the TV will automatically go to sleep after a set delay time if no motion is detected in the room.
- Once motion is detected again, the Art Mode display will resume automatically.
- The delay time determines how long the system waits before putting the TV to sleep after detecting no movement.
- IR Sensor Enabled
- The IR Sensor setting should be on when using a third-party
infrared remote (IR) to control the TV, such as from a cable or
satellite provider.
- Once you've finished adjusting your settings, press “Return to Device List” at the bottom of the screen.
- You’ll now see a list of all SRS devices connected to your network. The device you just updated should appear here.
- If you have multiple SRS devices, you can rename each one by tapping the paper & pencil icon next to the device name. After entering the new name, tap “Update” to save it.
- To add another SRS device, press “Add New SRS Device” and follow the same setup steps.

Note: If you are unsure of your TV’s IP address in the WiFi selection menu,
navigate to the network settings and check the ‘network status’ to see it
displayed.
