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](/components/media_player.webostv) 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: 192.168.0.20
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **host** (*Required*): The IP address of the LG Smart TV, eg. 192.168.0.20
|
|
- **access_token** (*Optional*): The access token needed to connect.
|
|
- **name** (*Optional*): The name you would like to give to the LG Smart TV. The default is "LG TV Remote".
|
|
|
|
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 component for your LG TV will show up.
|
|
|
|
<p class='note'>
|
|
The access token will not change until you factory reset your TV.
