homebridge-webos3

homebridge-webos3 is a plugin for HomeBridge which allows you to control your webOS3 TV! It should also work with webOS2 TVs.
The idea is that the TV should be controlled completely from the native HomeKit iOS app and Siri, that is why volume appears as a light bulb.

Installation

If you are new to Homebridge, please first read the Homebridge documentation.

Install homebridge:
``sh
sudo npm install -g homebridge
`

Install homebridge-webos3:
`sh
sudo npm install -g homebridge-webos3
`

Configuration

Add the accessory in config.json in your home directory inside .homebridge.

`js
{
"accessories": [
{
"accessory": "webos3",
"name": "My webOS tv",
"ip": "192.168.0.40",

You also need to enable "mobile tv on" on your tv for the turn on feature to work correctly.
