Hey guys, complete noob here.
I recently installed HA using a virtual python environment on and old Mac Mini I have at home. Miraculously I got it working (very non technical).
I have two LG TV’s and I though well let’s get them connected. After going crazy understanding where the configuration.yaml file is and how to access it via Terminal, I added this:
webostv:
host: 192.168.86.42
mac: MYMACADDY
name: Kids Room TV
turn_on_action:
service: persistent_notification.create
data:
message: "Turn on action"
customize:
sources:
- livetv
- youtube
- makotv
- netflix
media_player:
notify:
Initially I didn’t add the MAC Address but lurking in some threads apparently needs to be added (I should mention that my TV is not wired, is all WIFI)
After adding the code above (my configuration.yaml file was empty initially) I saved it, re-started HA and according to the instructions I should have a Notification in HA from where the pairing starts.
Here’s is where I’m stuck. I can’t for the life of me get this notification to start the pairing process.
My LG TV:
- Has LG Connected Apps, ON.
- Is on the same WIFI as everything else.
- Is not LAN wired.
- Mobile TV is ON
Also maybe worth mentioning that I also didn’t have a webostv.conf file. I manually using nano, created an empty file with the same name (read something along this lines in another thread).
Being non-technical I can’t for the life of me get passed this.
Help?
