Pairing LG WebOS Not Working

Configuration
1

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?

Mine works fine with the following setup. The MAC address is only used for the WOL, which you probably won’t be able to use when using WiFi. Note that you’ll want to use an array (new line with -) for each TV you want to set up:

webostv:
  - name: Living Room TV
    host: 10.0.1.2
    turn_on_action:
      service: wake_on_lan.send_magic_packet
      data:
        mac: "ab:cd:ef:g1:23:45"
  - name: Kids Room TV
    host: 10.0.1.3
    turn_on_action:
      service: wake_on_lan.send_magic_packet
      data:
        mac: "ab:cd:ef:g1:23:45"

Thank Paul. Sadly, no luck. Seems HA is not recognizing my TV.

Everything on the TV looks fine and the configuration file also.

Logs are not saying anything, just something about another device being found a duplicate.

I don’t know how what else it could be :frowning:
