|---|---|---|
switch | Switch or outlet | |
media_player | TV | Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode |

What people report
LG webOS TVs work locally by push, but firmware updates repeatedly break pairing or cause dropouts; most issues were fixed in later releases. Newer TV firmware ignores notification icons.

| LG BX/CX webOS TV | Works Local | Full remote, inputs, apps, notifications; Wake-on-LAN needs broadcast addressSaved copyOnly got experience with the LG (and mines the BX not CX) but it works great. Can use HA as a full remote, trigger automations etc. and even send notifications to the TV. The wake on Lan was a slight fiddle to setup but worked once I realised you need to set a broadcast_address within the host IP range. For me that was 192.168.1.255. Should mention this is all over the WiFi so no cable required. Also worth noting no LG telly comes with gigabit LAN, they are all 10/100 for some reason still.

| LG OLED TV (webOS) | Works | webOS integration used for control; Wake via ethernetSaved copyI got shield 2019, lg oled 65'' and pioneer vsx930k, i use rm4pro and ethernet for lg power on and webos integration for the rest, android integration for shield. Vsx930k is IR controlled because of ethernet bug on his card, it just stuck after a while. Vsx930k power on/off is detected with a smart plug (under 3W is off). Than i use Philips hue remote to start all devices, play or pause and disable oled screen. Works perfectly for 2 years.

| LG webOS TVs (notifications) | Partly works Local | Newer firmware ignores or blocks notify icon parameterSaved copyLimitations: If Home Assistant and your TV are not on the same network, you need to create a firewall rule, which allows a connection on ports 3000 & 3001 with the TCP protocol from Home Assistant to your TV. Most newer TV firmware does not allow passing the icon parameter to the notify command, the TV will ignore the icon and only display the message. On some TV firmware versions, passing the icon parameter to the notify command can prevent the notification from being shown. Excerpt saved from home-assistant.io on 2026-10-23. | Docs | |
| webOS TV media player | Partly works | Partly in Home Power and mute buttons missing in iOS Remote widget | Controls work in Home app and HASaved copyI'm not sure if this is related, but I never had any success with getting 'mute' button to appear in iOS remote widget. I tried to setup universal media player with all attributes & commands - no luck. And because of this I can't ask Siri to silence tv - it says I don't have devices that support this feature. It is the same for me. Even with devices such as Android TV and LG webos which have native haos integrations, the media player doesn't work with mute in homekit. So at the least, it isn't an issue with universal media player. Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #105272 · 2023-12 |
