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.

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 or WakeOnLan.
- To create an automation, go to {% my integrations title="Settings > Devices & services" %} and open the device page.
- Under Automations, select the + icon to create an automation with that device.
- 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.
# 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
