The `lg_netcast` platform allows you to control a LG Smart TV running NetCast 3.0 (LG Smart TV models released in 2012) and NetCast 4.0 (LG Smart TV models released in 2013). For the new LG WebOS TV's use the [webostv](/integrations/webostv#media-player) platform.
{% include integrations/config_flow.md %}
## Turn on action
Home Assistant can turn on an LG Netcast TV if you specify an action provided by an {% term integration %} like [HDMI-CEC](/integrations/hdmi_cec/) or [WakeOnLan](/integrations/wake_on_lan/).
1. To create an automation, go to {% my integrations title="**Settings** > **Devices & services**" %} and open the device page.
2. Under **Automations**, select the + icon to create an automation with that device.
3. In the dialog, select the **Device is requested to turn on** automation.
Automations can also be created using an automation action:
The example below shows how you can use the `turn_on_action` with the [`wake_on_lan` integration](/integrations/wake_on_lan/).
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
wake_on_lan: # enables `wake_on_lan` integration
# Enables the `lg_netcast` media player
automation:
- alias: "Turn On Living Room TV with WakeOnLan"
triggers:
- trigger: lg_netcast.turn_on
entity_id: media_player.lg_netcast_smart_tv
actions:
- action: wake_on_lan.send_magic_packet
data:
mac: AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF
broadcast_address: 11.22.33.44
```
Any other [actions](/docs/automation/action/) to power on the device can be configured.
## Change channel through play_media action
The `play_media` action can be used in a script to switch to the specified TV channel. It selects the major channel number according to the `media_content_id` parameter:
```yaml
# Example action entry in script to switch to channel number 15
action: media_player.play_media
target:
entity_id: media_player.lg_tv
data:
media_content_id: 15
media_content_type: channel
```
