The `webostv` platform allows you to control a [LG](http://www.lg.com/) webOS Smart TV.
When the TV is first connected, you will need to accept Home Assistant on the TV to allow communication.

Pairing information will be saved to the `filename:` provided in configuration; this process is IP sensitive, in case the IP address of your TV would change in future.

*Turn On Action*
Home Assistant is able to turn on a LG webOS Smart TV if you specify an action, like HDMI-CEC or WakeOnLan.
Common for webOS 3.0 and higher would be to use WakeOnLan feature.
To use this feature your TV should be connected to your network via Ethernet rather than Wireless and you should enable *LG Connect Apps* feature in *Network* settings of the TV [instructions](http://www.lg.com/uk/support/product-help/CT00008334-1437131798537-others) (or *Mobile App* in *General* settings for older models) (*may vary by version).
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
wake_on_lan: # enables `wake_on_lan` domain
media_player:
- platform: webostv
host: 192.168.0.10
#other settings
turn_on_action:
service: wake_on_lan.send_magic_packet

```
Any other [actions](/docs/automation/action/) to power on the device can be configured.
*Sources*
To obtain complete list of available sources currently configured on the TV, once the webOS TV is configured and linked, while its powered on head to the **Developer Tools** > **States**, find your `media_player.<name>` and use the sources listed in `source_list:` remembering to split them per line into your `sources:` configuration.
