I have successfully been able to get my WebOS TV connected to home assistant but have a weird problem that I cannot seem to find an answer. Once it is initially set up my complete list of sources show that are in my configuration:
# LG WebOS Integration
webostv:
host: 192.168.2.55
name: 'Bedroom LG TV'
turn_on_action:
service: switch.turn_on
entity_id: switch.lg

sources:
- Fire TV Stick
- Roku
- Dish Network, LLC(Grand Rapids)
- HDMI 4
- Netflix
- Plex
- Disney+
- Amazon Prime Video
- Hulu
- YouTube

At first I am able to select any of the WebOS App sources, but as soon as I select an input source all of the app sources disappear. I have tested this a few times and it always happens after I have selected a WebOS app and switch to something that uses an input such as HDMI. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
On a side note, I have also noticed when I restart HA and the TV is off it becomes an orphaned object on my Overview page. I am not able to control it at this point and have to power the TV on and restart HA and it will find the TV again and the card works again. Would like to know if anyone has experienced this as well and has an answer.
I am on 109.6. Is it possibly something in my configuration or how I may have HA installed. I used the Linux image and have it running as a guest on ESXi.
I was also wondering if I needed to have any of the sources in single quotes.
I have the same problem, all sources except for physical inputs and Live TV disappear when any built in source is selected. HA restart required to get them back.
I donāt think it is your configuration because I havenāt specified sources and get them all at first. Running 0.110.0
Since 0.110 there was a change in de WebOS TV config i believe.
After upgrading HA made a second entity_id of my TV with a _2 at the end.
After deleting the original and changing back the name by deleting the _2 all the functions came back.
Responding to this already a bit older topic. Anyone else still having this issue? I do!
All WebOS apps disappear; As a result when going from Television (via external box and thus HDMI input) to lets say Netflix, nothing happens on the LG, only the standard menu is there. Iām on HA 0.113.2 currently. Can this be a discovery thing.Iām running HA on a docker in Ubuntu. I know there are issues with Ubuntu.
This can be also done by: Configuration > Devices.
Delete original entity and rename ā_2ā with original name.
Using this way, no restart is needed.
Iām having a similar issueā¦ After adding the TV (LG OLED B7) to HA, all the sources appear available and I can select them via mediaplayer card or media_player.select_source serviceā¦ If I turn off the TV and turn it on, only the PHYSICAL inputs are available:
To clarify, after the first time adding the TV to HA, all inputs are available (even apps), but after the first ārestartā of the TV (power cycle, off and on), the App sources dissappear and I can only select the physical, HDMI inputsā¦ This behavior stays even after multiple power cycles on the TV and multiple HA restartsā¦ the only way to see the app sources again is revoking the access via TV menu and re-adding the TV to HA, but even after that, those sources only show the first time the TV is added to HA.
Iām also experiencing this. Not the end of the world as I only really wanted to turn off the TV but still frustrating. Did anyone manage to resolve this?
Iām having a very similar issue, but the goalposts seem to be constantly shifting. There is a lot of story left out, but the starting point is with the TV off.
Started with āLiveTVā and āAppleTVā in the sources list in my config. At some point āAppleTVā just went away and I only had āLiveTVā
Added elements to the config file so it looked like this (first part):
Restarted HA and turned the TV on manually. Now in HA the list looked like this (middle image). Notice there is now a āYouTube TVā which I didnāt even add to my config!
Used HA to turn off, then turn on the TV (surprised it actually worked!). Now my sources look like this: (right image)
So what the heck is going on? There are not just sources missing, but new ones show up that I didnāt even ask for!
Iād be curious to see what data is moving back and forth between the TV and HA. Is there a sniffer tool available or some other method to try to track this down? I imagine the devs understand a lot of this, I just havenāt been able to find any published info from them.
