LGWebOS Binding (for LG WebOS TVs)

Schnuecks · February 11, 2021, 1:37pm

Thank you. @HaKuNa

@sprehn do you know of a way to tell that the TV is in its “screensaver” mode? The idea is to automatically turn off the TV once the screensaver has been showing for a period of time. AFAIK the TV itself doesn’t have such a feature.

The application stays the same (e.g. Youtube) when the screensaver is on.

I have had issues sometimes with the WoL since probably at least 6-8 months back in time.

Changing input etc works, volume up/down works so the binding is authenticated.

But for some reason it almost never works to power on the TV. Power on works without issues. Anyone noticed something similar or know why this could be? Model is 65C9.

Edit: OpenHAB 3 by the way.

Hi, if i send command “1” to “rcButton” channel, my tv show toast message “please use magic tv remote to control”.
I need working samle, may be someone has one?

Number  devTvRoomChannelToSet

rule "devTvRoomChannelToSet CHANGED"
when
	Item devTvRoomChannelToSet changed
then
   var String ch = devTvRoomChannelToSet.state.toString
    var int cnt = 0
    ch.toCharArray.forEach[
        Thread::sleep(200)
        val String chStr = (ch.toCharArray.get(cnt)).toString        
        devTvRoomButton.sendCommand(chStr)
        cnt += 1
    ]
end

I see that commands to “rcButton” channel works only when Magic Remote is active, when Magic Remote in sleep mode, i see message about “use magic remote”.

Hi I have some troubles with the Binding.

I have installed OH3.

Can someone help me with my issue?

Hi Joko

this means the payload returned by your tv is too large for the binding. it is a bug. will have to look into this.

kind regards
Sebastian

Hi!

I am trying to set up Toasts on my OpenHAB 2.5.13 instance.

My rule looks like that:

rule "Notifier: Light"
when
	Item Notifier_Light received command
then
	logInfo("Notifier", "Light: " + receivedCommand)
	val LGTVWZ = getActions("lgwebos", "lgwebos:WebOSTV:abcd1234")
	
	LGTVWZ.showToast("http://192.168.***.***:7080/icon/light?format=png", receivedCommand)
end

Log output:

21:22:16.806 [INFO ] [ipse.smarthome.model.script.Notifier] - Light: Kino-Modus aktiviert
21:22:16.807 [ERROR] [ntime.internal.engine.RuleEngineImpl] - Rule 'Notifier: Light': An error occurred during the script execution: Could not invoke method: org.openhab.binding.lgwebos.action.LGWebOSActions.showToast(org.eclipse.smarthome.core.thing.binding.ThingActions,java.lang.String,java.lang.String) on instance: null

Any idea why LGTVWZ is “null” in this case? I double-checked the thing ID. I even tried to setup the thing using a file based defintion - without success.
The Thing is working (all items work and sending a string command to the Toast channel also works)

Thanks in advance!

sprehn · May 9, 2021, 12:31am

Hi

maybe the error is misleading…
can you try without icon url? some users have reported that icons in toasts do not work in newer lg models

Ontrackx · June 13, 2021, 1:04pm

how can i use a rule to open a simple website

http://user:pass@192.168.86.60/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?loginuse=user&loginpas=pass

ule “Tv Stream kamera”

when

Item kameratv received update ON

Hello, I’m totally newbie user and starting to love openHAB.

Today I’ve tried to add my LG webos OLED to the bindings, and sadly no success. Keep getting errors shown below.

TV and openHAB in same network, TV accept LG Apps connection, tried with firewall off.
OpenHab v. 4.3.2 running on Win SRV 2019 - just for now.

On binging page I got
Status:

Please help

broliyoung · October 31, 2021, 9:59pm

hi all, I have some trouble to configure my lg G9 to work with alexa.
I can use all items with the gui and they work nice but with alexa I only can poweron and poweroff.
On the alexa app I only see the on/off button.
Following how I configured the whole group:

Group TVSala “TV” Endpoint.tv
Switch TVSala “power” PowerController.powerState
Dimmer TVSala_Volume “volume” (TVSala) Speaker.volume
Switch TVSala_mute “mute” (TVSala) Speaker.muted
Player TVSala_mediaPlayer “media control” (TVSala) PlaybackController.playback

Thanks for your time.

Hi all
First of all, great binding
I’m using this binding successfully for quite a while now.

Recently I replaced my LG WebOS TV with a new one (LG OLED65C27LA) which runs on WebOS 22.

As far as I know, most is still working, exept of the “Application” Channel.
The possible “App-Options” (App-List) are not listed and there is also no item-“displayState” anymore. Only “State” returns a value, which is a little bit cryptic.

Any other users experience this behaviour?

triberk · January 26, 2023, 10:57am

Anyone experiencing strange behaviour with binding after WebOS 03.30.16 update ?

The TV looks always offline with message “TV is Off” and nothing seems to work apart from WoL function.

Any idea ?

Thanks

Levin1 · January 26, 2023, 9:00pm

Same to me. Unable to bring it online in openhab after 03.30.16 Update…
Discovery is also not working. Seems LG broke something

Lolodomo · January 26, 2023, 10:00pm

Firmware 05.30.25 and no problem.

Lolodomo · January 27, 2023, 1:34pm

It could be something specific to a model?
What models are concerned?

Levin1 · January 27, 2023, 2:10pm

My Model ist “OLED65C27LA.AVS” released in 2022. LG WebOS Version is 7.0.3-16. Maybe its WebOS related and not “firmware” 03.30.16. But maybe this Versions are not independent…
The release notes of firmware are not very detailed, but a lot of models will get this update.

[03.30.16]

LG Channels expanded its availability to more countries. (Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru

A new feature, Learn Remote Control, has been added for people with disabilities

Known kernel vulnerabilities patche
