[Youtube Shorts] Boost Your Samsung TV Development with WITs

If you’re tired of repackaging your Tizen app every time you make a small change, WITs is the tool that will transform your Samsung TV development workflow.

What Is WITs?

WITs stands for Web-Inspector Testing Suite — a Samsung developer tool built on top of SDB (Smart Development Bridge). It connects your development machine to your Samsung Smart TV over Wi-Fi or USB, and when you save a file, your app updates on the TV instantly. No repackaging, no reinstalling, no waiting. It runs on Node.js and works from the command line or directly inside VS Code.

How to Get Started with WITs

Setting up WITs is straightforward:

1. Enable Developer Mode on your Samsung Smart TV
2. Connect your TV and PC over Wi-Fi or USB using SDB
3. Install WITs globally via npm: npm install -g @tizentv/wits
4. Start a WITs session with wits -s
5. Enable auto-watch mode with wits -w for instant live reload on every save

Develop at the Speed of Thought

With WITs running, your edit-save-preview loop becomes nearly instant. You make a change, hit save, and see the result on your TV screen in real time — the same fast feedback loop developers expect from modern web tooling, now available for Samsung TV app development. Whether you prefer the CLI or VS Code integration, WITs fits naturally into your existing workflow.
