Control your LG TV (webOS 3) with Amazon Alexa

Amazon Alexa LG TV

Use your Echo or Echo Dot to turn on/off your LG Tv.

You need a TV with WebOS 3.

Usage

• "Alexa, turn on TV"
• "Alexa, turn off the TV"

Install

• Clone this repository
• Install nodejs (I used version 4)
• npm install lgtv -g
• Install python (I used 2.7.9 but should work with 3.x)
• Install wakeonlan py package (pip install wakeonlan or from source)
• Update alexa-tv.py with your tv's MAC address
• Start the script with python alexa-tv.py
• Enable "Mobile TV On"

When you try to turn off the TV for the first you will need to allow the script to access your TV.
