homebridge-webos3

homebridge-webos3 is a plugin for HomeBridge which allows you to control your webOS3 TV! It should also work with webOS2 TVs. The idea is that the TV should be controlled completely from the native HomeKit iOS app and Siri, that is why volume appears as a light bulb.

IMPORTANT

This is a work in progress. Please contribute!_

Features

• Power status
• Turn on / off
• Mute Status (currently as light bulb)
• Mute / Unmute (currently as light bulb)
• Volume control (currently as light bulb)

Installation

If you are new to Homebridge, please first read the Homebridge documentation. If you are running on a Raspberry, you will find a tutorial in the homebridge-punt Wiki.

Install homebridge:

sudo npm install -g homebridge

Install homebridge-webos3:

sudo npm install -g homebridge-webos3

Configuration

Add the accessory in config.json in your home directory inside .homebridge.

{
  "accessories": [
    {
      "accessory": "webos3",
      "name": "My webOS tv",
      "ip": "192.168.0.40",
      "mac": "ab:cd:ef:fe:dc:ba",
      "pollingEnabled": true
    }
  ]  
}

You also need to enable "mobile tv on" on your tv for the turn on feature to work correctly.
