Samsung TV on RS-232

I have two Samsung 65UNj Tv's on the exlink RS-232. Both of the TV's turn on (command 08-22-00-00-00-01-d4) so I know I have cabling correct, port address etc, but neither TV turns off. Tried both the 08-22-00-00-00-02-d5 and the 00-d6 power toggle). How can I have control for one command and not the other? Even tried putting the on into the off button on the Tp to make sure I hadn't made a simple mistake in the TP.
Made sure there was no source connected, swapped RS-232 ports between left and right but always only turn on, not turn off.

    You may have to send the command twice, I do not have the protocol, but sometimes the command is required a second time. Post the protocol and we can verify if you can't find it.

    I have slightly different commands in my last samsung code file:
    $08,$22,$00,$00,$00,$01,$D5 = Off
and
$08,$22,$00,$00,$00,$02,$D6 = On

    I also have a $13 tacked on the end of the power on command out of mostly superstition - it apparently once helped wake the tv up more reliably for someone (and it doesn't seem to hurt anything).

    Try these:

    Power Toggle = "$08,$22,$00,$00,$00,$00,$D6"

    Power Off = "$08,$22,$00,$00,$00,$01,$D5"

    Power On = "$08,$22,$00,$00,$00,$02,$D4"

    thank you for the responses, I tried the D5 off the D6 toggle and I tried sending twice but still same results. Both Tvs turn on, but not off. For now I have also programmed the switcher to go to an unused input and they power save to "OFF" after 15 minutes. But the mystery remains.

    Did you update the firmware? I've had no response to the off command(w/ different control system) until the firmware was updated...

    Along these lines, does anyone have a full protocol guide for these displays? I have the command set I garnered from the interwebz, but I would like the actual full Serial/EX-IN API.

    This line of Samsungs are probably the worst displays I've worked with on many fronts in over a decade.

    Thank you.

    Here is what I have for Samsung Ex-Link protocol.
    I don't know who authored it though. It's worked well for me so far.
