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.
|
|
|
|
To add a LG TV to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# 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](/docs/automation/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.
|
|
|
|
<div class='note'>
|
|
The access token will not change until you factory reset your TV.
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
## Advanced configuration
|
|
|
|
The example below shows how you can use the `turn_on_action` the [`wake_on_lan` integration](/integrations/wake_on_lan/).
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
wake_on_lan: # enables `wake_on_lan` integration
|
|
|
|
# Enables the `lg_netcast` media player
|
|
media_player:
|
|
- platform: lg_netcast
|
|
host: 192.168.0.20
|
|
turn_on_action:
|
|
service: wake_on_lan.send_magic_packet
|
|
data:
|
|
mac: AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF
|
|
broadcast_address: 11.22.33.44
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Change channel through play_media service
|
|
|
|
The `play_media` service 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
|
|
service: media_player.play_media
|
|
target:
|
|
entity_id: media_player.lg_tv
|
|
data:
|
|
media_content_id: 15
|
|
media_content_type: channel
|
|
```
