Anyone know commands for LG TV? #637

Closed crsnwby closed 7 years ago

crsnwby commented 7 years ago

I can see a WebOS 3 TV can be controlled using python, is there any way of controlling it using ha-bridge?

Tried using the xml but dont know what im doing

?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"? envelope api type="command" nameHandleKeyInput/name value21/value #21 being the remote code for HOME button /api /envelope

It does look possible, but it doesn't look easy, especially if you don't know much about this sort of stuff.

The results are also not really worth it, I did the same to my Samsung but the whole concept was massively flawed because the TV had to be on in order to receive a signal. So if you turned it off, you could not turn it back on again using the network.

edit: though it seems the LG does allow power on using the network https://github.com/Danovadia/lgtv-http-server

You are better off getting a Harmony Hub

I see that does look a bit too much work for not moving my arm 3 inches to pick up the remote. I wondered as the android app anymote works without a hub so assumed/hoped there were HTTP commands I could just use in ha-bridge.

Oh, well that is something different, I am pretty sure I have heard of others using Anymote, so I think it is possible. In that instance the Android device is the hub. Looks like you can also use Alexa with Anymote directly.

Yea but didn't want to use anymore as it's a pain and another app to keep running. Was hoping to just add commands to ha bridge

masterchop commented 7 years ago

Yes, you can there is an option to execute command line commands. you can just do like:

python scriptname.py <parameters> that works for me. i was using python and bash

crsnwby commented 7 years ago

Do you have a working example? not sure how to set it up using python.
