@smhgit: this may be the solution to your problem as well.
@sprehn thx, will test it tomorrow. I am using openhabian - openHAB 2.3.0. I didn’t try yet any 2.4 binding. will it work on my version?
Thx!
yes, it should work. I dropped it into my installation, which is 2.3 as well, and it worked
Just got this:
018-10-31 00:30:11.313 [ERROR] [core.karaf.internal.FeatureInstaller] - Failed installing 'openhab-binding-network #lgwebos': Error restarting bundles:

There can only be one running at a time.
OK, I have restarted openHAB and I still get same error (but also for network binding, don’t know why). ANy case, seems that it is running. I will monitor this release and update. Do u plan to merge it to official release?

First quick test - it is working.
I bought a new LG TV. And I noticed that toast is not working on this.

For some reason which I cannot explain, the current webOS binding seems to work as expected. I will wait day or two to see the stability and then switch to the new beta version.
Question: Does the binding has config file? I don’t seem to have one.
Thx for your continues support and this binding development!
Tried the binding yesterday, seems the problem is still there (still goes off/on)…

hi @sprehn. recently switched from Samsung to LG and now trying to get things to work as I am used from Samsung tv binding. I really appreciate your work and instant replies in this thread so I hope you can help me with my issues… just in case: I am at
231 │ Active │ 80 │ 2.4.0.201810302056 │ LG webOS Binding
1.) when switching TV off the power button switches back on instantly (seems to be a known bug fixed? but in my case still not resolved)
2.) switching channels is very slow (is this a known issue?)
3.) is it possible to access other buttons from the remote (sth like keycode=up,down)?
4.) is it possible to switch to specific channels (like RTL or ch.no. 3)??
Hi
- I don’t think it is a bug. It has to do with autoaupdate=false. The binding will set this channel OFF, once the TV disappears, which will be a few seconds after it actually turned off. You could also remove the autoupdate setting, in this case you would see the switch
- switching channels requires two interactions with the device. one to pull the current list of channels, and another to set the new channel. This will be improved through caching the list in one of the next versions. When we have the rule engine in place there will also be an increase and decrease command.
- with the next release and rule engine
- yes, possible today already via the channel named: channel
Sebastian
with action support in hopefully the next release, yes.

Thanks for your answer
next version? you mean in 2.4?
Available as a milestone
Good morning,
yesterday I installed the WebOS binding (snapshot) and it seems to work. However, I get an error message during boot
2018-12-05 22:37:08.378 [ERROR] [org.openhab.binding.lgwebos ] - bundle org.openhab.binding.lgwebos:2.4.0.201812050105 (232)[org.openhab.binding.lgwebos.internal.action.ActionService(274)] : Could not load implementation object class org.openhab.binding.lgwebos.internal.action.ActionService
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.openhab.binding.lgwebos.internal.action.ActionService cannot be found by org.openhab.binding.lgwebos_2.4.0.201812050105
Is this a known bug, or am I doing something wrong?
My items list includes the TV according to the examples:
Switch LG_TV_Power "Fernseher" <television> { autoupdate="false", channel="lgwebos:WebOSTV:0f19e30f-5fa6-47a2-bad2-22dc4428242b:power" }
Thanks for help!
I am actually surprised how this ends up in any snapshot build. Pull Request #2926 is not ready for merge yet.
@sprehn Dear Sebastian,
thanks - so this is not a mistake on my side?
I also switched back to milestone as currently, snapshot builds are tricky. The WebOS binding seems to work fine there…
LG binding is working without issues, but I don’t understand how 
My LG Thing is commented:
// Thing lgwebos:WebOSTV:tv0 @ "Living Room" [ deviceId="36cc2432-6389-45e9-bc51-dca4f40e9efa" ]
And the thing that I see in paperUI is (here is the power channel):
lgwebos:WebOSTV:c580ac91-59aa-4a7b-bae9-159ededd84ec:power
So I guess that the thing is saved somewhere. Am I right? If so, how can I delete it and add it back via thing configuration file?
Also, what is the latest and greatest binding version?
Thx for you help!
I have the same issue. Debug logs show the command called. No errors. Removing and re-adding the TV Thing also generates no errors. All controls (power, mute, etc.) seem to work except the toast. I’m running the latest stable release.
I observe the same behavior. This is a bit ugly as I use the power status to switch my amplifier as well. Thus, on switching the TV off it will also go OFF - ON (for 10sec) - OFF. I solved this with a time delay to switch off the amp.
So this is a bug, or can I change this behaviour by the autoUpdate mechanism (which I did not really understand yet).
Thanks a lot!
