LG TV (powered by LGWebOSRemote)

Manage your LG TV with the collection of scripts that execute the LGWebOSRemote commands via Raycast.

Initial setup

0. (Optional) Assign a static IP address to the TV.

   This step is optional, but highly recommended to avoid re-authentication when the IP changes. The instruction depends on the router model, but the phrase you are looking for is DHCP:

   • Asus: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/114068/
   • TP-Link: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/560/
   • etc.

1. Install the LGWebOSRemote library system-wide.

   The recommended way is to use pipx:

   pipx install git+https://github.com/klattimer/LGWebOSRemote

2. Run the Scan command.

   Remember the TV has to be turned on.

3. Copy the TV IP address from the output.

   {"result": "ok", "count": 1, "list": [{"uuid": "some-long-id", "model": "OLED55C11LB", "address": "192.168.1.200"}]}

4. Run the Authenticate command with the obtained IP.

   Remember the TV has to be turned on and you have to accept the connection on the TV.

5. Voilà, now you can control the TV!

Available scripts

All the scripts with their descriptions can be found here.

Known issues

• Commands' outputs are quite messy, e.g. always include DEBUG messages (bug in the library).
• Only one TV configuration at a time is supported (bug in the library).
• Execute Command command doesn't work (bug in the library).
• Send Notification With Icon command doesn't work (bug in the library).
• Open Youtube (URL) and Open Youtube (ID) commands don't seem to work (but try them yourself).
• Show Config command runs forever - you have to cancel the process with Control+C (bug in the library).
• Commands are not documented, so some of them are not obvious to use, e.g. Open App With Payload.

If you find out any more issues related to the library, not the Raycast scripts, please report them in the LGWebOSRemote repository or... just contribute to the library by fixing them 🙂
