[SOLVED] LG TV binding Netcast 3.0 issue connecting with TV

[Dim (Angelos)]

no need to restart
changes to the lgtv.cfg should be immediate

[andy31 (Andy)]

I just tried changing to 8080 for few minutes but log was still throwing error related to port 60128.

2018-12-07 19:09:36.489 [ERROR] [binding.lgtv.internal.LgtvConnection] - IO Exception at Connection to: http://192.168.1.19:60128/udap/api/pairing

Yeah, this is unknown which port to use it for start.

[Dim (Angelos)]

try to restart your OH2 service just to be sure… changes to *.cfg files are read and implemented immediately by OH2 usually but there maybe some quartz scheduler still running in the background with the old parameters…

[Dim (Angelos)]

these guys made it work with 8080…

[solved] LG TV binding. Device connected/ error cannot find device

Hi @SupraWez, thanks for reply Yes, all the lines in Openhab.cfg are filed and ‘#’ removed, here is an example: '# The TCP port address to use lgtv:.port=8080 The Pairkey is added to, when I start OpenHAB I get message that status changed from not connected to connected. and here is example of Items file: String LgTvAppTerminate “terminateapp” (LGTV) {lgtv=":lgsvetaine:APP_TERMINATE"} Switch LgTvConnStatus “connstatus " …

[andy31 (Andy)]

What`s the correct command to restart openhab service ?
I was normally restarting RPI with sudo reboot

[Dim (Angelos)]

no need to reboot the entire rPi
you are in the Linux world now where uptime is important

sudo systemctl restart openhab2

[andy31 (Andy)]

Thanks. After changing port to 8080 and restarting service it looks like its connected this time according to log.

So now need to solve items and sitemap for this tv , still something isn`t right with my syntax here

sitemap

Switch item=LgTvConnStatus

Switch item=LgTvAppExecute label=“AppExecute” mappings=[Skype=Skype, Spotify=Spotify]
Switch item=LgTvAppTerminate label=“AppTerminate” mappings=[Skype=Skype, Spotify=Spotify]
}
}

Not trying to butt in, just following the thread and learning, but:

@andy31

I was normally restarting RPI with sudo reboot

FYI, It’s best to stop OH from running before rebooting.

[andy31 (Andy)]

Thanks H102. Is there a command to stop openhab2 before restarting RPI ?

[Dim (Angelos)]

guys @vzorglub @H102 we have found another documentation issue!
unbelievable… who would expect to find 2 inaccuracies in the same day against such perfect docs ! (joking of course )

port default is 8080 versus docs showing 60128

wait for more corrections… I think PR 5726 will be 2 pages long …

now we debug Andy’s sitemap and Items

[H102 (CM6.5 H102)]

@andy31

Is there a command to stop openhab2 before restarting RPI ?

Use the same command @Dim provided above.

sudo systemctl stop openhab2

And just something to keep in your back pocket, if you need to clean the cache and tmp files b/c of weird things showing up in the logs or as a first step in troubleshooting.

First, stop OH
sudo systemctl stop openhab2
then
sudo openhab-cli clean-cache
and start back up
sudo systemctl start openhab2

[andy31 (Andy)]

Great - thanks a lot, I made a note for future.

[Dim (Angelos)]

@andy31

So now need to solve items and sitemap for this tv , still something isn`t right with my syntax here

syntax of both sitemap (the partial entries that you posted) and Items file looks good to me…

what do you see in the logs now?

[H102 (CM6.5 H102)]

@Dim think setting the logs to DEBUG will help? Also the doc’s mention that turning the T.V. on is not possible, scrape that item?

For those who try to POWER ON - LgTV shuts down the network port so only power off is availiable

#

But that could be incorrect as well.

[Dim (Angelos)]

got it: wrong alias used lg in the binding config:

Need to add persistence to the item? Just guessing, as its not mention in the doc’s

fix your Items as in the example

change the alias from lg

Switch LgTvPower                        "Power Command"                 (GF_Living)     {lgtv="ON:lg:POWER"}

to lgtv in all Item binding configs:

Switch LgTvPower                        "Power Command"                 (GF_Living)     {lgtv="ON:lgtv:POWER"}
