homebridge-lgtv2's Issues

power on error

When powering on i get the following error
LGTv2 error Error: Sec-WebSocket-Accept header from server didn't match expected value of TtOjAhqQj2p06GkCLhvjJcTqG7Q=

siri always says "Sorry didnt hear back"

any feedback on this would be appreciated thanks

No HomeKit switch status change by turn on/off with remote

It is a little sobering that when I turn on the TV with the remote, that the HomeKit switch doesn't change his status.
Is that not implemented or a issue?

Not so much an issue, but is there a way to remove the volume feature? I'm using a Sonos setup and the actual TV volume has no effect. It's causing some issues with Siri turning off all devices etc as it says volume not responding. I can't seem to add the TV without the volume (lightbulb) coming up too.

Thanks

How to guide?

Is there a How-to guide to setup the TV with Homebridge?

I cant seem to get this working

homebridge crashes when turning of tv

tv asks connection request:lg remote app no/yes

with answering with no or yes doesn't make a difference, homebridge crashes

keyFile is not generated

Everything seems to be working properly with the exception of turning my TV off.
Each time I toggle power off, my TV gives a "Connection Request" dialog box asking for permission.
Here is my homebridge output when I sent the command:

[2/27/2018, 9:09:49 PM] [Living Room TV] This is your LGTv2 key: undefined

It seems as though the keyFile is not being generated in this case? I changed the directory to "~/Desktop/" to see if the file appears...but nothing.

Any help would be appreciated!

TV turning on fine but have to turn tv on twice in home app before tv will turn on

TV turning on fine but have to turn tv on twice in home app before tv will turn on. I basically have to tell the tv to turn on then turn off before it will come on. the home app then reports the tv as off when its home

Fantastic App can we take it further

This app is fantastic, thank you so much for writing it, I was wondering if we could go a stage further and change HDMI channels or load apps like netflix, amazon and plex ? I believe it is possible in the LG iPhone app

Permission denied: LGtv key

Hello,

I get this Error when I turn off my TV:

[TV] This is your LGTv2 key: undefined
fs.js:101
throw err; // Forgot a callback but don't know where? Use NODE_DEBUG=fs
^

Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/var/homebridge/lgtv-192.168.0.66'
at Error (native)

Seems that homebridge has no permissions to write to /var/homebridge/lgtv-
Is that correct? How can I change that?

webOS Lite

Is this plugin compatible with webOS Lite? I have an LG LH5700 which seems to run on webOS Lite.

Can't change the room

When I change the room in Apples HomeKit App nothing happens. It stuck in the default room. How can I change it?
In Eve App I can't change the room too...

Update gone wrong

Tried updating but now keep getting this error and can't load home bridge

Content of the key file

How should the content in the keyfile be specified?

CallBack warning

Thanks for writing this plugin. I just started using it with my new LGTV running WebOS3.

I am seeing this error when I attempt to turn off the TV (running latest homebridge and node). It then results in homebridge app itself restarting.

Command line interface

I am running this plugin and its working great.

I have an additional requirement for some scripting and am wondering whether installation of this plugin allows me to interact with webos directly via command line for example: lgtv power off etc.
