LG OLED C8	Works	Plugin works; maintainer owns one. Volume slider only controls TV speakers, not ARC receiver Saved copy First off - great work on this so I can bring HomeKit to my OLED C8 since LG won't! I didn't see it in the doc but is there a way to name buttons I have set - (remote control, sound output, remote sequence, and notification buttons) - instead of the generic name "switch" as shown in the screenshots attached? I can't tell what anything is when everything is named "switch". Also, is there any way to re-arrange them in the UI? Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22.	Issue #196 · 2019-12
LG webOS TV	Works	Used to show on-screen notification when doorbell rings Saved copy I additionally use the Homebridge-WebOS-TV plugin to create an automation that fires a notification to my LG TV that says “Nest Hello: Someone is at the front door.” Only when the TV source is not the Apple TV. That way I always get some form of notification on screen, so long as I’m watching the TV. Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.	Reddit comment · 2021-06
LG C7 OLED TV	Partly works	Most functions work; volume slider not found, wake-on-lan failing Saved copy I've just setup Homebridge in Docker on my Synology NAS. So far just have an Xbox One plugin and the web os plugin for my LG C7. Most functions all work as expected, except volume. I've left the settings for volume to true, which the setup guide indicates will enable use of volume up as buttons and slider. I can find and use the buttons in the Home app, but where do I find the slider? Also using Siri, no matter how I phrase it, I can't get her to adjust anything on the TV. She just keeps saying "I can't do that". Is there a particular naming convention or option in the setup that will get her … Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.

LG Netcast TVs (e.g. 2012 models)	Won’t be supported	Netcast uses a different API; use LGTV2012 plugin instead Saved copy Yes, one of the tvs is with Netcast system which works well with the plugin LGTV2012. As the other TV´s are with WEBOS and there are working well with your plugin webos-tv, but when I turn of the tv that use the plugin LGTV2012 with netcast, the plugin webs stops working and it seems to me cause also that Homebridge stop working. I don't if could be interference between both LG plugins. Sorry If I am disturbing you with that is just interesting but not really important. Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22.
