Continuing the discussion from [WORKAROUND] LG TV Remote:
Are you in the US?
I have an LG LW5600 and from what I’ve read, there is an alternate firmware which only applies to European models.
http://openlgtv.org.ru/wiki/index.php/Achievements
I’ve tried to telnet to my TV on port 1900 as shown in the script but the TV doesn’t respond.
Wow. Okay will do it again.

In the tv.py add your pairing key instead of DDDDDD copy and paste the entire script into a file named tv.py and your good to go. Of course restart HA
This is the tv.py script.

If the LG remote apk works for you (the 2011 supporting one) then the script will work for you as well.
anyone get this script work with 2013 models? mine respond “Unauthorized” to pairing request:

thanks, this one works for me
You’re welcome
Has anyone gotten this to work with a WebOS 2014 model?
Not sure what’s included and it doesn’t specify the year, but there are separate steps for LG WebOS
Media Player might have power options
I’ve set both of those up but no power on option. It’s just pause/play but it can turn it off. I’d like to remotely be able to turn it on though. I was thinking something to do with wake on LAN?
hi all… i followed this manual but unfortunately nothing works with it… how could i figure out whats wrong ? I have a 2011 model and remote apk works pretty good on my phone.
Yes, you need to use wake on lan to power on a Web OS tv. Make sure you enable waking the tv in the settings menu of the tv.
You could solve this without shell scripts with the native wake_on_lan component of homeassistant. I did the following:
To switch sources, use the media_player.select_source service.
Btw, I haven’t figured out is how to detect when the tv is off but recording.
Switches config:
- platform: template
switches:
tv_switch:
friendly_name: TV
value_template: '{{ states.media_player.lg_webos_smart_tv.state != "off" }}'
turn_on:
service: switch.turn_on
entity_id: switch.wol_lg_tv_eth
turn_off:
service: media_player.turn_off
entity_id: media_player.lg_webos_smart_tv
entity_id: media_player.lg_webos_smart_tv
- platform: wake_on_lan
name: wol_lg_tv_eth
mac_address: '00-08-00-00-00-00'
host: 192.168.1.123 #Irrelevant, will monitor the state of host to set the switch state.
turn_off:
service: switch.turn_off
entity_id: switch.tv_switchHello there the stuff written on top is for 2011 and 2012 models. Basically pre 2012 models.
As they don’t have WOL you would have to wake your TV via connected device like Bluray player that supports LAN (for WOL.)
You then wake the Bluray player that in turns wakes the TV through Simlink.
Then you can use the above work around to chance channels turn volume up and down or turn it off.
I posted more key commands here
You should just use the LG TV Component
Did you created the tv.py to be called?
Hi @dennisaion ! I’m trying to implement your code. Were do I have to put the tv.py file and can you confirm your code is working nowadays? I did changed “state:” to “from:” and “to:”. No error on the UI but error on the home assistant log:
ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.shell_command] Error running command: python3 /home/pi/.homeassistant/tv.py 8, return code: 2 NoneType: None
I placed the tv.py file at top level folder that configurator plugin can access - one level above the config folder.
Hello,
can you explain that to me in more detail? I have a PreWebOs LG TV. What do I have to write in the configuration and where does the TV.py file go? Do I have to write it myself? Sorry for the many questions.
