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 platform.
To add a LG TV to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
- platform: lg_netcast
host: IP_ADDRESS
{% configuration %} host: description: The IP address of the LG Smart TV, e.g., 192.168.0.20. required: true type: string access_token: description: The access token needed to connect. required: false type: string name: description: The name you would like to give to the LG Smart TV. required: false default: LG TV Remote type: string turn_on_action: description: Defines an action to turn the TV on. required: false type: string {% endconfiguration %}
To get the access token for your TV configure the lg_netcast platform in Home Assistant without the access_token.
After starting Home Assistant the TV will display the access token on screen.
Just add the token to your configuration and restart Home Assistant and the media player integration for your LG TV will show up.
