LG C8 not possible to turn it on

Configuration
1

Hi there,

My first topic on this forum cause there is something i can’t figure out myself. I have a LG C8 in the livingroom. The only problem i have now is that i can’t turn the television on.

Everything works but that last perfect step is missing.

I had it working on … so i know for sure the tv is configured properly

i have added this to the configuration:

webostv:
  host: 192.168.2.8
  name: Living Room TV
  turn_on_action:
    service: persistent_notification.create
    data:
      message: "Turn on action"
  customize:
    sources:
      - livetv
      - youtube
      - makotv
      - netflix

Nothing special here help would be really preciated

I have an LG C8 (Japan model) also, connected to my network via WiFi.

Here’s an example of the config I use:

webostv:
  host: 192.168.0.50
  name: Living Room LG TV
  turn_on_action:
    service: wake_on_lan.send_magic_packet
    data:
      mac: 64-CC-22-AA-BB-CC
      broadcast_address: 192.168.0.255
  customize:
    sources:
      - livetv
      - youtube
      - makotv
      - netflix

so to check the mac: is the mac adress : to - replaced? and how do i know what the broadcastr adress is?

Yep, change : to - in a typical MAC address for this entry.

Broadcast depends on your network configuration. If your TV is at 192.168.2.8, then you likely have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, in which case your local network’s broadcast address is 192.168.2.255.

The Home Assistant LG TV integration configuration instruction unfortunately isn’t very beginner friendly and assumes knowledge of these things.

I do got the following now:

webostv:
  host: 192.168.2.8
  name: Living Room LG TV
  turn_on_action:
    service: wake_on_lan.send_magic_packet
    data:
      mac: A8-23-FE-53-76-3E
      broadcast_address: 192.168.2.255
  customize:
    sources:
      - livetv
      - youtube
      - makotv
      - netflix
      - plex

but now i get the error: Failed to call service media_player/turn_on. Unable to find service wake_on_lan/send_magic_packet

you need to add wake on lan to your configuration.yaml otherwise HASS won’t load the WOL module.

wake_on_lan:

See this page https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/wake_on_lan/
