A customizable Lovelace card for Home Assistant to remotely control LG WebOS TVs, including channel selection and AV receiver integration.
LG-WebOS-Remote-Control is a custom Lovelace card for Home Assistant that creates a virtual remote control for LG WebOS televisions. It solves the problem of integrating TV control into a unified smart home dashboard, allowing users to power, navigate, change channels, launch apps, and manage audio devices without needing the physical remote.
Home Assistant users with LG WebOS TVs who want to integrate TV control into their dashboards and automate media experiences.
Developers choose this card for its deep Home Assistant integration, customization options, and ability to extend TV control with automations and external device management, unlike basic remote integrations.

Requires browser_mod and a separate channel-pad card for full functionality, adding setup complexity and potential compatibility issues, as noted in the README.
AV receiver power management isn't built-in; users must create lengthy Home Assistant automations, which the README admits is preferable but cumbersome.
Exclusively designed for LG WebOS TVs, so it cannot control other brands or older models without WebOS, restricting its use in mixed environments.
Channel logos are only available for Italian TV stations initially, and users must manually create and share others, lacking a built-in international library.
