Controlling LG TV

[kwolter]

Did you try out the MediaController PI?

I had no idea this existed. Thanks for the suggestion. Got it working! Thanks again.

Got a new LG Thin Q TV that I can control the on and off from Alexa. I have an Alexa routine called “Goodnight” that turns the tv off and triggers an HS event that turns off all the house lights in 5 minutes. I’d also like this same routine to turn down the volume to a low preset level before powering down, but I don’t see a way of doing it via Alexa devices.

The smartphone app lets you change the volume, so it seems that other controls exist for it via the cloud. I also don’t see presence for LG TV control via IFTTT.

At present, is there a way of doing this that I’m not seeing? I don’t currently have a Harmony so that’s probably not an option.

Thx!
