I copied the original WebOSTV component from HA v0.103 to my instance of HA v0.105 in ‘custom_components’. Then I placed the old webostv.conf in the config folder. That worked well.
Ok, what is not working in 0.105 though?
I don’t know what is not working? People were commenting that LG WebOS TV is not working on 0.104 … As I don’t have 0.104, I tested if they can use the old integration as custom integration … It works … So if it really doesn’t work they can use the old code, while waiting the problem to be fixed … As of now everything is working for me because I don’t update HA at all … I’m still using 0.94.3
It should be clear that if people experiencing issues simply downgrade to an earlier version of the code without reporting them, they will wait ~forever for them to be fixed. Development is and must be a collaborative effort with end users, especially with a diverse set of devices and no manufacturer documentation.
I totally agree with you! But just because they have reported a bug, this doesn’t fix the problem. As a user, if there is a bug I would not sit down and wait the bugfix to come. I’ll try everything to fix my problem somehow, until the bug is fixed officially. So the first thing I would try is to downgrade.
Fixed in HA 0.106
Hello,
I have two WebOS TVs in my house and they worked fine before 0.104… now I tried to adapt my config but I can’t get them to work again. They work only if I remove the wake on lan lines. Here’s my config:
# Abilitazione Wake on Lan
wake_on_lan:
# TV LG WebOS
webostv:
- name: TV Camera
host: 192.168.1.45
turn_on_action:
service: wake_on_lan.send_magic_packet
data:
mac: "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX"
- name: TV Soggiorno
host: 192.168.1.46
turn_on_action:
service: wake_on_lan:send_magic_packet
data:
mac: "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX"
media_player:
notify:
what’s wrong with it?
Thank you!
EDIT:
I have no idea why, but I copied some configs here and there, until this worked:
# Abilitazione Wake on Lan
wake_on_lan:
# TV LG WebOS
webostv:
- host: 192.168.1.45
name: TV Camera
turn_on_action:
service: wake_on_lan.send_magic_packet
data:
mac: "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX"

really “name” before “host” prevent it from working correctly? Anyway, it’s fine now
Hi all
I have the following configuration for my LG TV which is working, BUT
- I cannot change channels in Live TV with the arrows (see photo 1)
Is this how it suppose to work? Is there a workaround for this? - I would like if possible to play a particular Youtube Channel or Youtube Video from HA. Is there any solution for this?
Hi…How can I see my LG TV in the Home app? I integrated the TV into HA with the new configuration (it works, except the arrows to change channel), but I don’t know why I can’t view it with homekit:
configuration.yaml
wake_on_lan:
webostv:
host: 192.168.1.215 # match with IP address of your TV
name: LG TV
turn_on_action:
service: wake_on_lan.send_magic_packet
data:
mac: "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX"
customize:
sources:
- livetv
- Youtube
- Apple TV
- Netflix
Are you able to see your TV in Home app as “TV” entity?
The source list is working now, after the update.
The TV is a TV entity in the Home app.
Can u share your configuration?
My configuration is…
media_player:
webostv:
host: 192.168.1.XX
name: LG TV
turn_on_action:
service: wake_on_lan.send_magic_packet
data:
mac: "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX"
customize:
sources:
- livetv
- youtube
- Apple TV
- Netflix
Homekit has all domains and entities and the config_entity is:
entity_config:
media_player.lg_tv:
name: LG TV
feature_list:
- feature: on_off
- feature: play/pause
...
I can see the TV in HA but not in Home app. In Home App I can see only the switches on/off, Play/pause, etc, but as switch and not TV entity.
Hi @andrew.vint you config in config.yalm like this.
Notice that de broadcast addr end with 255, for example if you network dhcp spools is 192.168.1.xxx you should write 192.168.1.255
This worked for me. I had spaced in the name-tag.
Same for me
