LG WebOS SmartTV adapter for ioBroker

Remote controlling an LG WebOS SmartTV (2013 models and higher) from ioBroker.

Usage:

Install the adapter through ioBroker admin interface. In the adapter config input the ip address of your LG WebOS TV. At first connection you will receive a pairing prompt on your TV screen where you should allow the connection.

Polling

Some TVs disconnect from the web socket when the TV is turned off and do not report this to the adapter correctly. Then additional polling is required. You can define the time in settings. If the value is empty, the adapter tries to detect this automatically: On adapter restart the polling (every 60 sec) is active until the first correct TV off event is detected.

Some examples:

setState('lgtv.0.states.popup', 'Some text!');

This will show a popup with the text "Some text!" on the TV. You can use HTML linebreaks (br) in the text.
