LG TV control using serial protocol

This binding can send some commands typically used by LG LCD TVs (and some used by projectors).

See below for a list of supported channels. The binding does not support querying the current state from the TV, as this is not possible using the serial protocol.

Supported Things

Supports one TV or projector per thing, also corresponding to a unique serial port. The protocol supports daisy-chaining of serial devices, but this seems unlikely for home applications, and this binding sends to the broadcast address.

The LG serial command set [1] appears to be similar on many models, but not all commands will work on all models. Some TVs may have an alternative port type instead of a standard DB9 connector, and may thus require an adapter. The serial port may be marked "Service only".

Tested and developed for LG 55UF772V (with this cable adapter).

Discovery

No discovery supported, manual configuration is required. The thing may be configured through the Paper UI.

Thing Configuration

It is necessary to specify the serial port device used for communication. On Linux systems, this will usually be either /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyACM0 (or a higher number than 0 if multiple devices are present). On Windows it will be COM1, COM2, etc.

Channels

• On/off
• Input: Select video input: HDMI, Component, ect.
• Volume
• Mute
• Backlight brightness: Supports 100 levels of brightness for LCD panels.
• Color temperature: Choose among 3 color temperatures, Warm, Normal and Cool.
