homebridge-webos-tv VS homebridge-platform-insteonlocal

I think you should be able to use the webOS plugin for this, it has the ability to control sound output. I would just create n automation that's triggered when the TV turns on.

Congrats on the new tv OP. Since its a LG and if you have a iPhone you can use the homebridge plugin https://github.com/merdok/homebridge-webos-tv to have the remote directly in the control center and do other things like tell Siri to change the brightness, volume or automatically set the brightness depending on the time of day.

I just set up homebridge on my RPI and installed this plugin https://github.com/merdok/homebridge-webos-tv

I'm in the market for a new TV and I've been spoiled by homebridge-webos-tv for my LG G1. With the backlight control. Are there any other plugins for other brands of TVs that have plugins with backlight adjustments? Samsung - Tizen, Hisense - Android TV?

Wondered this same thing recently, went with https://github.com/merdok/homebridge-webos-tv as it had the most stars and installs. The author suggested in an issue that the other one was “a ripoff of theirs”.

I found this plugin: https://github.com/merdok/homebridge-webos-tv It says I need to "enable mobile TV on" or "LG Connect Apps", but I can't find either option on LG C1. Do you know if the plugin works with C1?

Sorry for the delayed reply; I was away from home so I couldn’t check. The one I use is called “Homebridge Webos Tv” (https://github.com/merdok/homebridge-webos-tv).

The webos-tv homebridge plugin supports brightness. They claim compatibility with all WebOS 2+ TV’s. I don’t know whether yours does. Brightness works great on my C1 using it.

FYI, you can run my homebridge plugin directly on the Hub Pro itself and get much better reliability/features than the actual Hub Pro. See here: https://github.com/kuestess/homebridge-platform-insteonlocal

u/contrarianbynature The Hub Pro is actually a PLM connected to a beaglebone black inside the box, and you can run homebridge and my homebridge plugin to get all of the functionality (and more) back. See here: https://github.com/kuestess/homebridge-platform-insteonlocal

I fixed it by downgrading my InsteonLocal plugin to 0.4.24 (April 18, 2022). This removed the dnsmasq error. I stumbled across this solution in a gitub repository forum here: https://github.com/kuestess/homebridge-platform-insteonlocal/issues/218

In addition to having a PLM, theres a BeagleBoard Single Board Computer in there. For more sophisticated control than the OEM Insteon software, some people have gotten Homebridge running on it. https://github.com/kuestess/homebridge-platform-insteonlocal

I'm fairly new to HomeKit, but have a fair amount of home automation hardware (ecobee thermostat, Insteon door, motion, and water sensors, Insteon light switches, Logitech Harmony Hubs, etc.). Have been migrating everything over from Indigo over the past few weeks, including upgrading to an eero wifi network (excellent!) and using Homebridge to bring in the Insteon hardware (with the Homebridge Platform InsteonLocal plugin). Bringing the hardware in and controlling it with basic steps was pretty straightforward.
