Hi.
I have been trying everything, to wake up my LG tv via LAN. But i can’t get it to work. Read about it for days now, still without any luck.
I have installed the wol binding, an created a rule in paper UI, like this:
When LGpower is changed from OFF to ON, then execute following script:
Nothing happens.
I tries to download an APP for my phone, “Wakeup On Lan”, and simply just filled in the IP address and MAC address of the TV, and it worked well.
I can’t figure out, why openhab can’t manage to do the same, when im sending the script?
Im a beginner at this, so a thorough and comprehensive guide will be appreciated.
Thank you.

The WoL binding is a OH1 binding, which means you can’t use it in paperUI. To use it you need to define the item in an .items-file, like this:
Switch LGpower { wol="192.168.1.255#14:C9:13:77:EA:C1" }
That’s the only way to make it work I’m afraid.

You need to create an Item:
Switch LG_TV "LG TV Power" {wol="192.168.1.255#14:C9:13:77:EA:C1"}
and place this item in your sitemap. When you toggle it, it will send the wol packet and wake up the TV
And how do i get to the location, and create the items file ind the sitemap? Sorry, but like i said - beginner. Thats also why i prefer to use paper UI.
I’m running the latest version of OpenHabianPi on a RaspberryPi 3 B+

Just create a text-file with .items as file-extension (e.g. wol.items) with the item definition and place it in /etc/openhab2/items/. You might need to delete the item from paperui to avoid duplicates.
it doesn’t work like this (with a rule and a script)
