Ethernet connection #532

Hi there, I was having issues homebridge connecting to my LG video projector when it was connected over ethernet (once manually turned on, everything worked perfectly fine).

Is it because the magic packet works only over wifi ? I'm surprised, because the other LG home bridge plugin worked over ethernet the hall time (until quite recently)

It should not matter whether you use ethernet or wifi (only in that they have different mac addresses), you just have to make sure that the correct settings are enabled on your TV so that it will still listen to the magic packet even when turned off.
