system/turnOn

[Emmettfl]

Hello,

I am having problems using the system/turnOn command for my LG TV. TurnOff works fine. I'm running this from services in developer tools:

service: webostv.command
data:
entity_id: media_player.living_room_tv
command: system/turnOn

I need the turnOn function because the CEC functions don't seem to work with my Series X. Thanks!

It never worked for me either. Instead send a WOL to the TV: https://www.avsforum.com/threads/2022-lg-c2-g2-owners-thread-no-price-talk.3250717/page-120#post-61806089

Hi @chros73 , should it be something like this?:

it should run in an automation so the TV turns on automatically when the XBox is turned on.
(with the MAC address first and the ip address after?)

That's not the IP after the /d option but the netmask for broadcast the wol packet. Usually tge last number is 255 but it depends on your network config. Try it out in cmd at first.

so just run wol.exe 75:E6:B9:A4:B7:A1 /d 192.168.1.255 in cmd in Windows? If so this is what I get:

C:\Users\emmet>wol.exe 75:E6:B9:A4:B7:A1 /d 192.168.1.255
'wol.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Obviously you have to get wol.exe and you only have to modify the last part of the netmask.
