TV not turning on despite reporting so

[KnifeWrench]

Using a 2024 MacBook Pro MacOS Sequoia with the lid closes (similar behavior with lid open). When it goes to sleep, this works beautifully. Trying to wake it on the other hand is less successful. According to the logs when the lid is open the TV turns back on, sets the hdmi input and switches it to pc mode, however the the TV does not actually turn on.

Same behavior with the lid closed apart from the logs are a bit more honest.

Did you enable Wake on LAN as mentioned here? This might be your issue.

[KnifeWrench]

Yup followed the readme initially, but obvs double checked. Both wake on LAN and the mobile one are on.

Debugging the script I could see that when lid was closed lgtv_is_connected() was returning false as soon as the the machine and tv entered sleep. I had wifi and lan both connected. Disconnecting wifi fixed this (for the most part, would still sometimes disconnect) meaning it was now behaving the same lid open or closed. Not the actual issue but nice.

Also in lgtv_exec_command I think you need to have if rc == 0 instead of if rc == nil . Think it may be hiding the timeouts.

[PylotLight]

This is also happening for me, I was previously using the windows app which worked fine for turning off and on.
Now using this mac version, turn off seems to work fine, but it does not turn on, despite the logs suggesting that it is.

Can you try running the command directly from the terminal to see if there's a hint?

[cmer]

Try installing the new version. I improved logging a little bit.
