Hi…How can I see my LG TV in the Home app? I integrated the TV into HA with the new configuration, but I don’t know how to view it with homekit:
configuration.yaml
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
If you check Developer Tools > States, is the TV represented as a media_player?
When you configured the Homekit integration, did you list media_player in include_domains? Or list the specific media_player in include_entities?
I have not specified any entities or domains. So they are all visible
At the end of my homekit yaml file
entity_config:
media_player.lounge_tv:
name: TV
feature_list:
- feature: on_off
- feature: play_pause
- feature: play_stop
- feature: toggle_mute
Then should appear as Apple TV remote in control center
Yes, but I need to see my TV in home app, not only as remote control in control center. Do u can see your tv in home app?
Yes it appears in the home app.
Ok…did it appears as TV or Switch in Home App? Can u share your configuration, HA version, etc? Thanks @subzero79
As a tv showing, on//off and source selection
homekit: !include homekit.yaml
filter:
include_domains:
- media_player
exclude_entities:
- media_player.bedroom_tv
- media_player.kodi_bedroom
- media_player.kodi_lounge

Ok, thx…but in configuration.yaml?
?
that is configuration.yaml but splitted
homekit: !include homekit.yaml
You don’t have webostv: in configuration.yaml?
Yes but we are talking about homekit. webos doesn’t do homekit
webostv:
host: 10.10.0.17
name: Lounge TV
customize:
sources:
- livetv
- youtube
- netflix
- kodi
turn_on_action:
service: wake_on_lan.send_magic_packet
data:
mac: "14:c9:13:32:67:a9"
Ok…now i understand. Thx for your help!
So in configuration.yaml I should have:
Media_player:
Homekit: #with your configuration
Webostv: (for HA)
sure, try that but lowercase
Yes sure. Thx
Do you have sources in your media player ? I only have sources And power button I don’t have mute button.
I have (configuration.yaml)
media_player: #empty
