A small Go library for interaction with webOS enabled TVs. Tested on LG webOS TV UH668V (webOS version 05.30.20).
dialer := websocket.Dialer{
HandshakeTimeout: 10 * time.Second,
// the TV uses a self-signed certificate
TLSClientConfig: &tls.Config{InsecureSkipVerify: true},
NetDial: (&net.Dialer{Timeout: time.Second * 5}).Dial,
}
tv, err := webos.NewTV(&dialer, "<tv-ipv4-address>")
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("could not dial TV: %v", err)
}
defer tv.Close()
// the MessageHandler must be started to read responses from the TV
go tv.MessageHandler()
// AuthorisePrompt shows the authorisation prompt on the TV screen
key, err := tv.AuthorisePrompt()
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("could not authorise using prompt: %v", err)
}
// the key returned can be used for future request to the TV using the
// AuthoriseClientKey(<key>) method, instead of AuthorisePrompt()
fmt.Println("Client Key:", key)
// see commands.go for available methods
tv.Notification("📺👌")See examples for usage.
