Hello,
thank for the messge. not yet. i had to postpone this, because i had other major issues. but i will get back to this , this week! and will let you know for sure. but the delay of 20 seconds didnt work.
Please share the code with us
alias: Play welcome Video Youtube
sequence:
- service: webostv.command
data:
entity_id: media_player.lg_webos_smart_tv_3
command: system.launcher/launch
payload:
id: youtube.leanback.v4
contentId: n_5i_nzS1z0
entity_id: media_player.lg_webos_smart_tv_3
- delay:
hours: 0
minutes: 0
seconds: 10
milliseconds: 0
- service: webostv.button
data:
entity_id: media_player.lg_webos_smart_tv_3
button: ENTER
entity_id: media_player.lg_webos_smart_tv_3
mode: single
icon: 'hass:youtube'
so it still stoped at do you want to play this video
Try to raise the delay time and make sure that the ENTER command is passed properly to the TV. Get back to me
will try tomorrow then! thank you
Do u include the whole url or just the letter&numbers sequence at the end?
For some reason if i use just the latter youtube app launches but no video starts. If i use the whole url it opens the app and loads the video as a small window in the middle of a white screen.
To get it open normally i have to edit the url and replace the “watch” part with “tv” and only then it asks me if i am sure i want to play it…
It worked! the problem is in the yaml code actually when i done the code with your specifications, for some reason on the call action button enter it didnt recognize the media player. so i had to manually ad again the media player
on the picture i had to add again the media player there. because i didnt show
here is my code
alias: Play welcome Video Youtube
sequence:
- service: webostv.command
data:
entity_id: media_player.lg_webos_smart_tv_3
command: system.launcher/launch

No you don’t include the whole URL. You just need the content id
and here is the code
- service: webostv.command
data:
entity_id: media_player.lg_webos_smart_tv_3
command: system.launcher/launch
payload:
id: youtube.leanback.v4
contentId: XXXXXXXXXX
entity_id: media_player.lg_webos_smart_tv_3
replace XXXXXXXX with contentID
hope that helps
I am glad you made it! Bravo!!!

im going to make a cool automation with this and NFC tags! 
Thanks, this makes sense, but here if I use only the ID, youtube app opens, but no video plays.
I don’t know why this is happening
What’s the model of the TV ? And what’s the version of Youtube running on TV?
Keep my updated!
I am very interesting for NFC automations and how they can be used for home automations
well this particular case is for an airbnb house. im using this with a door sensor, so when the door opens the video starts… its a welcome video of lisbon!
but we dont want this to fire every time you open the door… so what i am going to do as soon as the tags come, is put one next to the door of that house, and when the cleaning lady finishes cleaning she will tag the nfc, and then this automation can fire! i am still not sure how to make it only fire once after the nfc command…! but a cool thing i think
The TV model is 55sm8200pla, running webos 4.9.0-53903.
The youtube app version is web_20210221_00_RC00.
show us your code plx
Very nice idea. Weldone!
If you want to fire once, go to config/helpers and create a toggle switch.
Then create a new automation which will look like this:
alias: Tag1
description: ''
trigger:
- platform: tag
tag_id: ced97fa8-e349-4e25-ad57-10c415658c21
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: input_boolean.airbnb_promo_video
state: 'off'
action:
- service: input_boolean.turn_on
data: {}
entity_id: input_boolean.airbnb_promo_video
- service: script.video1
data: {}
entity_id: script.video1
mode: single
This is the right way to do it if you want the video to fire once.
When your guest leaves after a week or so, you can have a reset automation that will reset the boolean switch to off or reset it manually.
hope that helps
