TV integration

Connection between bOS and LG TV is done using the Discovery function. bOS server will search the local network and try to locate the TV’s IP and connect to it. Select the correct TV from the list and click Select. IP and MAC address of the TV will be automatically filled in.

If the MAC is not added in automatically, it is recommended to use IP scanner software and scan your local network, locate the TV and copy the MAC address from the app into bOS.

When the LG TV device is added into bos, Panel Functions and Numbers nodes will automatically be added under the main node, each adding additional functionalities for the TV. Automatically created panels can be dragged into the visualisation for the control of the TV.

Visualization panels

The LGTV driver doesn't come with a built in visualization buttons, but we do have them available in our examples. Please find them here: LG TV panel example

Simply import the configuration in, fill out the LG information and drag and drop the buttons in the visualization. Full remote control is now possible using the bOS Client app.
