samsungctl: 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
