Hi,

I would like to know if there is a way to monitor the on/off status of the TV with this MQTT package?

thank you

maybe with the states of the internet connection? iex: if the tv is disconnected from the internet, the tv is off if tv is connected , the tv is on

the websocket connection status is published on the topic lgtv/connected. If the payload equals 2 the connection is established. Downside: After switching in the TV there is quite long latency, you‘ll have to wait up to 15s until the smart-tv services are started and the websocket is connected. hth.
