Wrong path handling for config file saving

I tried the latest version and, as described, the functionality to save a config file with the values for my TV. If I use the config-file path ~/Desktop/config.cfg the config file ends up in a subdirectory ~/Desktop below the directory I am calling samsungctl from.

as you probably already know. I did take a look at that HomeBridge thing.

This is what I found at a quick glance of the code.

• only supporting 2016+ TV’s with new firmware only it looks like.
• aren’t using the application support to it’s fullest.
• do not have all of the key codes.
• require a manual mac address entry.
• I believe they are they are creating a websocket connection over and over again for each command that is sent. I could be wrong on that tho.
• using a sleep timer of 500 milliseconds is not a long enough delay for an application list. and that is what they are using. I have logs for app lists taking 2-3 seconds to be returned by the TV.
• the use of sleep timers to wait for data not a good mechanism
• sending a ping packet to test for connectivity
• I didn’t notice a thread loop for receiving data (this is the mechanism you would use to check connectivity)
• no support for activating the voice recognition.
• no mouse support
• no text entry support
• no UPNP support
• not using 8001/api/v2 to determine connection type

this library is able to get you all of that information… you have to hold tight I am putting together documentation on how to use the advanced features.

everything you can do in the Smart View app you should be able to do with this library.
