LG TV control
Hey,
Is there a model list, as what models are supported? I couldn't find it.
I have a LG 55SJ850V at home and this did not connect to it.

Hello,
could you maybe try making a power variable and make sure alexa finds it, then try creating a program task with the variable trigger to try and turn the tv on/off. Seems direct link doesn't work, so try this workaround.
Best regards,
Program works, but alexa still didnt want to find it, so i changed my virtual light that i had done previously to switch and linked it with the boolean value. It works now, but i dont understand why it wont find any new devices, i also tried to disable the skill.

Hello,
did you try adding the TV to power controller for the on/off? When clicking Discover on your alexa app, it doesn't find any devices?
Did you enable public access?
Best regards.
Hey,
Yep ive set it up like this:
But Alexa does not find it. Public access is working fine as do other devices that are connected to alexa.

Just letting you know that with the latest beta 4.7.11, i'm able to control my LG 55SJ850V tv, sometimes it still reconnects and gives me no ACK but turning it off or on works fine.
Is there a way to connect the on/off function with Alexa? I tried some tricks but Alexa does not even discover the test switches i did for it.
Hello,
thank you for posting, we'll look into the issue. We might require any remote access to check the problem. You should see fixes coming in next week.
Best regards,
Internal updating of the TV version to the last one. See it please tonight and tell me,

It's really strange that i cant add any new devices to Alexa.
From the picture numbers 1-5 were all added long time ago and they all work fine. Number 3 was previously added in as virtual light - i changed it now to switch on/off the TV, it works too but it wont change its switch type to switch, it stays as a light switch as it was originally done. All other devices are not coming up with discovery. Even if i make a new virtual light switch.
