Hi, I am new to HA. I want to set up the configuration to turn on/off my LG webOS Smart TV.
I followed the instruction here: https://home-assistant.io/components/media_player.webostv/7
After the set up, I can only turn off TV but cannot turn it on
Can anyone give me some help? Thanks a lot.
I am using Hass.io (0.59.2)
My TV is using cable connection.
my configuration.yaml is:
I can only turn off TV from the overview page (I cannot turn the TV on)
However, when I check my home-assistant.log, it shows nothing, as follows,

Thanks enicho. I am new this HA… Just a quick question, to set up the CEC, I need to have an HDMI? I can plug one end of the HDMI cable to the TV, but where I need to plug the the other end of the HDMI to support the wake up feature? Thanks for this,
I am very sorry. I just assumed you were also using Kodi. If you do not have a hdmi device hooked up, then this doesn’t work. Another option would be something like the Broadlink RM that records infrared signals from your remote and can be triggered from Home Assistant.
I have 2 x LG TVs. The older one is the original WebOS one. Same as you, I can turn it off with HA, but NOT on.
My newer LG TV runs on WebOSv2… I can use the wake_on_lan to successfully turn it on and off.
I believe with the original WebOS, you’ll need an IR blaster (Broadlink RM - as Enicho suggested), or HDMI-CEC (which means you’d have to have your TV plugged into your RPi.
Yeah that’s correct Flamingteeth - looks like WebOS V2 doesn’t support Wake On LAN. My mistake, looks like from WebOS V3 onwards supports WakeOnLAN. You’re stuck with CEC HDMI to wake it which can be impractical if your Pi isn’t near your TV.
Hi
I use LG TV webos model 49UF7787. I configure it in Home Assistant and all works ok but button NEXT and PREV not working… example on LIVE TV not change TV Channnel. Is any chance to add this function to change channel and example on youtube change playing video ?
To change channel it was very need.
Or maybe is any chance to add option to show list channel and change position and apply channel from list…(up/down scroll).
If it can help someone, I had several issues to get my LG TV on, can’t get the WoL working.
So I instead used the HDMI CEC with Roku plugged in my AVR.
