Not sure if this matches your Vizio/how correct the documentation is but there appears to be an api exposed by the tv that includes some endpoints for device status: https://github.com/exiva/Vizio_SmartCast_API

Android malware from Amazon straight to your door
For what it's worth that domain in your repo is also listed in the 1Hosts block-list [1] but only in the Xtra category, not sure why. It seems that is a known malware site. Oddly enough it is not listed in the PiHoleBlocklist [2]
[1] - https://github.com/badmojr/1Hosts [listed but only in Xtra]

Target List Plans - Good seeing various updates
For example, https://github.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/blob/master/SmartTV.txt blocks tons of crap tv's send out, but firewalla doesn't stop much of it and you know how smart devices are. Yes, you could make a manual list, but is insanely time intensive. Smart devices on my network; nextdns blocks over 10000 connections a day.

Samsung UK admits you can’t disable ads on Samsung smart TV
I use this [1] and never seen an ad on my LG TV. Its only for Smart TVs. It blocks all the major TV ad networks too but can't tell how successful it is on other TVs since I only have LG.

- LPT: If you own a Samsung smart TV that has ads, you can block them by adding ads.samsung.com to your block list on your internet router
