I have the app new installed and it looks like it is allright, only homey “feels” a little slower. After a reboot of homey the app doesn’t work anymore. In the app-list on the homey i see no symbol in the red cirkel from the Web-OS app. My tv is a oled65cx6la. ---

> [@Wilfred\_Greven](#): > > the red cirkel from the Web-OS app. Seems the integration is working for newest models but is broken for older ones… Today I tried to add the TV again and it always failed. Every-time I added TV via [LG WebOS from Athom](https://homey.app/en-us/app/com.lg.webos/LG-WebOS/), it works. For now I’m switching to this version then ;-( ---

I might have figured out what the problem was. I found two bugs since the SDK3 version. TV’s were registered as unavailable when they could not be reached; as in turned off. A bit weird this was causing issues all of the sudden but okay. So whenever a TV is no longer reachable I now will force it to ‘available’. Furthermore, I found an issue with some flows using special web sockets. They would reject the secured connection and needed some extra love 😉 Anyway fix is incoming today. PS: I was also working on something else you all might find interesting. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/7/c701ad86b2f94eac7d4e84cbf841c7cc22b0819e.jpeg) ---

New version `3.0.2` is available in the store and via Github ---

New version 3.1.0 is available in the store and Github. New version includes an action card to create an alert instead of a toast. Alerts have buttons! You can do stuff with buttons, crazy right. Do you want to watch a series each evening at 19h and don’t feel like looking through all the apps? Create an alert with buttons to launch those apps. Buttons should be defined as a valid JSON array. See [com.webos.notification | webOS Open Source Edition](https://www.webosose.org/docs/reference/ls2-api/com-webos-notification/#button) for the button definition. ```auto [ { "label": "Netflix", "onclick": "luna://com.webos.applicationManager/launch", "params": {"id": "netflix"}, "buttonType": "confirm", "focus": true }, { "label": "Got to website", "onclick": "luna://com.webos.applicationManager/launch", "params": {"id": "com.webos.app.browser", "target": "https://example.org"}, "buttonType": "confirm" } ] ``` Per default, there will always be a `Close` button that does nothing but cancelling the alert. Each app has a different ID and parameters. I don’t know all ID’s, I don’t know all possible parameters 🤷‍♂️. Maybe we should create a list somewhere so we can share them. ---

@MaxvandeLaar Really cool! Unfortunately I can’t make the buttons work. When I copy-paste your example, I get error: ```auto Unexpected token } in JSON at position 202 ``` When I leave the field empty, the default message (with only the close button) works perfectly fine. Also tried just one button: ```auto [ { "label":"Got to website", "onclick":"luna://com.webos.applicationManager/launch", "params":{ "id":"com.webos.app.browser", "target":"https://example.org" }, "buttonType":"confirm" } ] ``` But that gives me this error: ```auto Message is not parsed ``` ---

Support might be really flaky in this. Maybe the browser or your tv has a different ID? Or different params. Try adding a button with just a label and nothing else. See if that works. I mean I have 2 lg tvs and one doesn’t support create alert at all. For the one that does work, the timeout does not work 🥲 so it’s a very tricky thing to implement and get it working ---

Fiddled around for a bit. This works for me. Also, the timeout works without any problems. My alert doesn’t show a title tho, but that’s not that big of an issue. ```auto [ { "label":"Netflix Test", "onclick":"luna://com.webos.service.applicationmanager/launch", "params":{ "id":"netflix" } }, { "label":"Live TV", "onclick":"luna://com.webos.service.applicationmanager/launch", "params":{ "id":"com.webos.app.livetv" } } ] ``` ---

> [@MaxvandeLaar](#): > > New version includes an action card to create an alert instead of a toast. Alerts have buttons! Very neat, it works here with your example JSON, Max. _LG webOS UJ630V (4 to 5 yrs old)_ The last JSON of @basvanderploeg show the messagebox, but the buttons act like ‘cancel’. Bas has a newer model I guess? ---

Max, I have WebOS version 2.3.0 installed on my Homey. I checked your website and installed version 3.1.0 but it seems that it wont install on my Homey? I just clicked the button “Installeer” and it says that it wil be instellaed but nothing happened. What do I do wrong? ---

I just stumbled upon this app and it works so much better than the one from Athom, so thanks a lot! Will try to fiddle around a bit with the alerts later this week. I have an OLED77G1RLA (I think from 2021). Would it be possible to send an http request to Homey’s IP address when clicking a button on an alert? Preferably without opening up the browser on screen. ---

@Peter_Kawa I also have an older LG tv (maybe even the same model I can’t remember) but the buttons work for me. But as with everything with LG WebOS. Your millage may vary. ---

@Janbuijs91 I wanted to actually do the same thing. Or even trigger a flow or something via an Alert. I could not figure it out, the only option I see is to create an LG WebOS app for the TV itself which you can call and that would be able to ‘do Homey stuff’. I already have a prototype app for my team. ---

Yeah they do work for me as well, with your JSON. I only wanted to note the JSON posted by Bas is probably for a newer model than I have 😉 ---

Yeah triggering a flow through the alert button was exactly what I want it to do, but I thought sending an http request would be the simplest way of doing that. Any other way would be just as good. I would gladly test out any TV app that can communicate with Homey in some way if you have one. I also just read an article that claims that LG WebOS TV’s can run most Android TV apps? Tbh, I didn’t think that was possible. This might make it easier to do🤔 The article: > **[How to Install Third-Party Apps on LG TV: All You need to know - Robot...](https://robotpoweredhome.com/how-to-install-3rd-party-apps-on-lg-smart-tv/)** > > RobotPoweredHome is reader-supported.

To which ‘Store’ is being referred to? As I cannot find a specific webos app in the homey app store that has your name @MaxvandeLaar to it. Maybe someone can steer me in the right direction. Otherwise I will try the GitHub version. ---
