BREAKING CHANGE 0.104.x and upwards:
Integration changed and we now use "webostv:" and not "media_player" to call integration.
##########
Today we will configure LG webOS Smart TV component
www.home-assis...
01:17 - First thing we have to do is prepare LG Smart TV to allow "LGconnect apps".
02:01 - Next step is to configure integration inside Home Assistant - please adapt to your own setup: (this step was changed according to new integration configuration from 0.104 and up)
webostv:
host: 192.168.0.10 # match with IP address of your TV
name: LG TV
turn_on_action:
service: persistent_notification.create
data:
message: "Turn on action"
customize:
sources:
- LiveTV
- SmartShare
- PS4
- Netflix
If you don't have any other media player in your setup add following line too:
media_player:
04:01 - After restart we need to finish LG webOS integration by initiating paring request in Home Assistant and confirming it on TV.
07:00 - Use following guide to see what sources are available in your setup, but remember that you have to finish first previous steps and restart HA to see this list.
08:51 - Don't forget to maximise use of this component by enabling notifications in Home Assistant (this configuration changed in 0.104.x):
If you don't have any other notification configured (such as Telegram, Signal etc) add following line:
notify:
After you save your configuration, don't forget to Check your configuration and Restart Home Assistant.
12:18 - And just a quick idea how you can use notifications on TV
This should be it and you should have both Media Player and notifications enabled in Home Assistant for LG webOS Smart TV.
Please leave a comment if you would like to see more component configuration videos.
Of course, subscribe if you still haven't and I'll see you next time!
Have fun!

Brilliant. Had this up and running in next to no time. I also adapted the notify component to work straight in Node-red, as I find it simpler to create more complex notifications there.

@michieldepauw7006 4 года назад

How did you do that. I dont find It in node Red.

@thebaldfox 4 года назад

@@michieldepauw7006I use home-assistant notify method in Node-red i.e. link the two together for sending messages, else i also use node-red-contrib-lgtv for outright control of the tv itself (think normal remote control buttons).

Is there any chance to get a camera picture on a LG WebOSTV with notification, like on Telegram or Kodi?

@BeardedTinker 4 года назад

Pozdrav Marko! Answer is both yes and no. No, you can't send image like that as notification - AFAIK only thing that comes close to that is pushing icon for notification. What I did (while testing) was pushing image or stream, but using Chromecast (to show stream from camera, on motion alert), or opening web page in TV browser with static image. But of course this all depends on what is your scenario.

@FabioCleoBachata 4 года назад

Thanks. But wake LAN works only for LAN Cable? For Wifi? With Homebridge u could ping through WiFi connection.

@BeardedTinker 4 года назад

Wake-on-LAN should work on both Ethernet and WiFi. But that's protocol. It depends if the TV is keeping WiFi on when TV is in standby or not. You should test with cable first and of it works, you can try WiFi.

@BeardedTinker 3 года назад

You have an error in configuratio.yaml file. As I can't see it, I presume that something after media_player: is wrong. It's very hard to debug as I can't see your file - but check spacing - media_player: should start at new line, without any space in front of it.

@stanislavvartanyan9430 4 года назад

Hi! Thank you for the video! The problem I have with setting up my LG WebOS tv is I can't figure out how to turn it ON from OFF state. When it's ON, everything works fine. What should be the turn_on service?

@BeardedTinker 4 года назад

I don't have that option myself. It depends on whether your TV has wake-on-LAN option or not. My LG TV is older type and doesn't support that. When in standby WebOS is turned off and it can't react to any external command unless it supports that feature.

@dfgb2411 4 года назад

If you have a newer LG TV you can try the WakeOnLan feature to turn on your TV. A short description can be found here: www.home-assistant.io/integrations/webostv/#turn-on-action

@carlosmarintravel 4 года назад

I had the same issue. I solved it with this code webostv: host: 192.168.0.10 #other settings turn_on_action: service: wake_on_lan.send_magic_packet data: mac: AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF

@FlemmingWiltonHansen 3 года назад

Hi, thanks for your fine video. Can you help me with config, so that I can turn on/off the TV, just by saying it to my Google home ?

@BeardedTinker 3 года назад

Hi Flemming! Well, it is simple but not that simple :D First you need to make sure that your LG OS webOS version supports Power On over WiFI/Ethernet. Not all modes have it. Then you'll need to create power on/off switch in HA that would map that switch to media_player.turn_off. After that, if you have working Google Home/Assistant integration, it's just matter of re-syncing - by saying "Hey Google Sync my devices".

@FlemmingWiltonHansen 3 года назад

@@BeardedTinker Thanks for your FAST reply. I have a working Google Home/Assistant integration and my LG TV is WEBos 3.3.xxx and Power on over wifi/Eth is turned on.

@eclecticlife 4 года назад

Thanks for the video. Two questions: What do you do with the filename: webostv.conf parameter? What's in that file? The second question is regarding the notification entry. You set the info for an IP Address, host: 192.168.0.112, what's that IP Address from? That's not the same IP Address you used for the TV entry. Again, thanks for your videos.

@BeardedTinker 4 года назад

webos.conf file is used to save data from integration configuration. You do not have to do anything, just need to specify what name to use. 192.168.0.112 is just random address I typed, you should substitute it with your TV IP address. I'll add that comment to the description, thank you for spotting this.

@pirania1 4 года назад

Did you figure out how to include icons of the notifications? I tried with png, svg and all other files (also with MDI), and the notifications aren't shown if icon is included. I used for example, in developer tools -> Services, service: notify.lg_tv following: message: "Movement detected: Front Door" data: icon: "/config/www/keep-door-closed.png" I use docker, so this is the full path to a file 80x80 pix. Removing the data and icon lines, allows to show notifications.

@BeardedTinker 4 года назад

To be honest, I haven't played with icons. That's on my very long to do list. But you got me thinking a bit about what could be issue. One of the possible problems I see is size of the icon. webostv.developer.lge.com/design/style/icon/ Checked here and also: webostv.developer.lge.com/design/webos-tv-system-ui/notifications/ I haven't found for notification, but for other icons there is size limit of 115x115 pixels. Did you try something small? Also, did you try to play with folder names? If something doesn't go wrong today, I'll try to play with it this evening.

@pirania1 4 года назад

@@BeardedTinker I tried the 115x115 and 140x350 px and still no go. In the docs of HA integration there is nothing about what is really required.

Another great video :-) It turns out that i also have a LG tv. Any chance you could use this to cast video from motioneye/facebox to TV when it detects a face and/or someone push (video) doorbell. Or should you use chrome cast for this instead? Cheers

@BeardedTinker 4 года назад

Thank you :) Should be possible, if TV is on, if not only calling chromecast could probably do it. Will try it over the weekend.

@BeardedTinker 4 года назад

OK, tried following and it fails... alias: Stream camera on motion trigger: - entity_id: binary_sensor.living_room_motion_occupancy # My Xiaomi Motion Sensor platform: state to: 'on' condition: [] action: - data: entity_id: camera.balcony # This camera should have streaming option compatible with HA media_player: media_player.lg_tv # My TV, tried with Chromecast too service: camera.play_stream Running this with LG TV does nothing. But no error is received. Changing to Chromecast at least has some feedback it changes to Chromecast on TV, but screen is blank/black. After first try it gives some kind of timeout. Not sure, but I think that changing stream type or tweaking format should make it work.

BeardedTinker Yes, I chose LG connect apps. I went through pairing. Now I can turn the TV on and off. I can choose the source RU-vid, MEGOGO, hdmi, life tv. I even registered customization of media_player -> device_class: tv and added it to homekit. but my notify.lgwebostv function still doesn’t work for me

Integration is now called webostv - but I presume that you have sent hat update. And did you try to send message using service call in developer tools? Select notify for your TV integration and then just type "message: test"

If you are talking about fast.com sensor - unfortunately, sensor itself doesn't provide data when was test done.
