Hi there,
I have 2 older webos tvs (LG) working fine for more than one year. Now i bought a new 65" Oled TV with webos 6 and it starts working fine when i restart HA but after turning off the TV, HA never sees the TV again. Restarting HA solves the issue.
Thanks.

## The problem
<!--
-->
When the LG TV is OFF or ON, webostv media player can't be used until HA restart. Often when HA loses detection of the webos TV (when previously working), the connection is not restored/checked again until HA is rebooted.

and find the issue quicker. Version information is found in the
Home Assistant frontend: Configuration -> Info.

## Additional information
Example: webOS TV has been working fine days, suddenly, this morning when the TV was powered on, HA thinks it is still off. If I reboot HA it'll detect the TV just fine.
Also, as other have reported for years now (see community forums), when the TV is powered "off" which is really "standby", the logs will get spammed every 10sec. In my example above, we hit "power" on the remote at 10:02:17pm and went to bed, and the log was spammed since and this was also the morning we turned the TV "on" and HA didn't detect that it was in an on state. HOWEVER, as soon as I rebooted HA the TV was detected just fine leading me to believe it is an issue with HA and not the webOS TV software.
Possibly related to: #6542 & #43349
I also recently bought a 55" OLED EVO with WebOS 6 and I have not seen Home Assistant detect it at all, despite restarting HA numerous times. Now on HA container 2022.6.0
My earlier model 65" LG continues to be fine and seen by HA.
