LGWebOS Binding (for LG WebOS TVs)

Hi, I’ve been using this binding for well over a year without any issues, recently it has stopped working after a short period of time after the TV has been switched on. I have updated the addon however the issue isn’t solved. I have posted below the logs from myself turning the TV on to the point of failure. Any help would be appreciated.

hey @sintei , could you try once more and just use “IP” as the property name?

no idea really. the network connection must have been lost

Hi .

I am trying to use the binding to my LG TV, and it finds it fine, but then it goes offline. This is the log:
2017-11-05 19:34:38.511 [ThingAddedEvent ] - Thing ‘lgwebos:WebOSTV:192_168_77_31’ has been added.

It says pairing is needed and I don’t know how to do this.

Hope you can help.

at this point you should see a Yes/No question pop up on your TV screen. You have to answer with “Yes” or remove the TV from your things and re-run discovery.

Thank for your swift reply.

It works now.

Tried it and it did not work :frowning:
I’m on openhab build 2.2 1069 and using your RC2 binding.
Autodiscovery works perfect :slight_smile:

Release Candidate 3 now published.

Most changes are internal. Most notable change is that the channel for TV Channel is now a Number instead of String. Channel up and down are now replaced with Increase and decrease commands to the channel “Channel”.

For relative channel changes you need an extra Dummy item and a rule:

// for relative channel changes
rule "ChannelUpDown"
when Item LG_TV0_ChannelDummy received command
then
    switch receivedCommand{
        case 0: LG_TV0_ChannelNo.sendCommand(DECREASE)
        case 1: LG_TV0_ChannelNo.sendCommand(INCREASE)
    }
end

Hello @sprehn,

thank you for this great binding.
Is it possible to add channels for the ok- and the arrow-buttons?

best regards
gdo

try this: KeyControl Beta Release

ok, seems that the new binding ist not working in 2.1.0.
where can I get a 2.2.0-SNAPSHOT bundle of OH?

I am using 2.1.0 myself.

I got an exception on startup:

openhab> java.net.SocketException: socket closed

seems like there is an issue to create the network socket to listen for SSDP discovery. There should not be any change in the code there. did you restart your OH instance?

Restart causes the same error.
So I have set up a new instance of OH with only the lgwebos-binding.
The exception does not appear any longer, but the discovery in paperui did not find my tv.
openhab.log:
org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Could not resolve module: org.openhab.binding.lgwebos [47]
Unresolved requirement: Import-Package: org.eclipse.jdt.annotation; resolution:="optional"
Unresolved requirement: Import-Package: org.eclipse.smarthome.model.script.engine.action

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/karaf/shell/support/RegexCommandLoggingFilter

The Log has 234 lines, should I post it?

hm, maybe it is related to your version of OH. But between this special version and RC3 there is no difference in dependencies.

You can reproduce this error:

  1. download openhab-2.1.0.zip and unzip
  2. copy org.openhab.binding.lgwebos-2.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar to addons
  3. start oh and choose standard

I got the binding working by using a docker image of OH 2.1.0.

Now my thing is “lgwebos:WebOSTV:192_168_0_11”

lgtv.items:
Number LG_TV0_KeyDummy “Key”

lgtv.rules:
rule "Keys"
when Item LG_TV0_KeyDummy received command
then
switch receivedCommand{
case 0: sendHome(192_168_0_11)
case 1: sendOk(192_168_0_11)
}
end

default.sitemap:
Switch item=LG_TV0_KeyDummy icon=“television” mappings=[0=“Home”, 1=“Ok”]

But nothing happens.
What’s wrong?

Works fine for me. After a lot of testing with old SDK and standard binding, this will be my solution.

Still have one issue:
Can’t use WOL to start my TV because I can’t install the WOL binding.
I also see the errors for the other (for me new) bindings that I wanted to test.
Any Idea how to solve? Or how I can “deinstall” without having installed the binding correctly?
