LG updated its websocket ports etc. I've reported it 3 months ago. I found out that the websocket now requires a secure connection on port 3001 . The update 04.50.50 "broke" all smart home drivers.
With my LG CX it its able to turn it on with bOS still, but not off or control other functions.
hi, all work ok the only problem is the ok button , not working yet
What is the problem? Other than the OK/select button does not work, everything else works for my LG CX. TV turns on and off, and no more No ack spam in the logs - tho i still get some random disconnect with the no ack but much less than before.
Hey,
For me the TV's controls work now when its connected, but i still see some disconnects right after it gets connected it gives me the "Error connecting to device error" not the No ack it used to gave me. Those disconnect are not coming from the lan/ethernet side imo - as i can ping the TV or use its internet services(Netflix, youtube etc) all day long without any disconnects or packets loss.
Few things i also noticed - When i tried to do a new discovery, when the driver was connected at that moment the discovery button gave me this error. If the driver was disconnected it found my TV.
When i select the newly found ip from the list it turns the mac address to xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx and starts spiting new errors. If i change it too xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx manually then it works again.
TLTR: So it seems like it stays connected for 3-4 sec then it disconnects. Otherwise it works better now - All buttons functioned, bOS turned it Off and On, tho i had to press the button multiple times to get it back On(my timing was not right so the driver was disconnected when i pressed it)
Edit: I fiddled with it some more and yeah. I can control it when its connected so 3 sec time window to send out commands. Not great and ive not been able to figure it out why it disconnects. ALSO it turns my TV on automatically after i turn it off, as soon as the driver is connected again.
Best regards
I found the cause why my bOS kept disconnecting. I had made a boolean button and a program for Alexa. If i disabled the program the driver stays connected. Now everything works - even Alexa work though in my mind it shouldnt...
Thanks for fixing the LG driver!
Hello,
we're already working a solution for the new WebOS updates and you should see improvements with the new update.
Best regards.
