@dandanache just want to say mega-thanks for the added remote control. Works great!

Hey Dan, am I missing it or does the driver not have a mute attribute? My TV remote (dashboard) has a single mute button that, like most remote controls, toggles the mute/unmute setting. So I had previously run with simple logic -- if the TV is muted, then unmute it; if the TV is not muted, mute it. But I can't implement any such muting logic AFAICT because there is no mute attribute in the driver.

I'm guessing it's a simple fix -- I'd do it myself and submit a PR, but I don't know what I'm doing so.... :slight_smile:

Totally not a big deal, but a nice to have if/when you get around to it. TIA.

Isn't this it, on the Commands page, under Current States?:

If you want to use it in a rule, it's under Custom Attributes:

Hmm odd I don’t have that attribute. What version of this driver are you using?

Or maybe there’s a WebOS firmware thing.

Can you please set logs to "Debug", then mute/unmute the TV, and paste the logs? Maybe there's something easy to fix.

Firstly, thanks for this!!
Would there be scope for adjusting screen brightness in the future? If not, I'm sure one of the picture modes is dim enough! (I could never get our TV to automatically dim when the lights are off in the bedroom, but we have a mmWave sensor that also has a Lux sensor on it, so my idea would be to dim the TV when the light levels are low)

Setting aside Hubitat for a moment, does your LGTV allow for screen dimming? Never knew that, if so.

Issued "Mute" command and then "Unmute" command from Commands page of the HE device. To be clear, they both work as expected, but no Mute attribute shows up.

Mute/Unmute Log

Immediately before the mute/unmute stuff, but right after I turned the TV on, I noticed this in the logs. I don't see any bad behaviors, but thought I'd share in case it helps.

Released version 1.7.0 with the following updates:

Added

  • Add "Set Picture" command to control brightness, contrast, color, backlight, and pictureMode - @Biggsyboi, @mluck

Fixed

  • Fix "mute" attribute for TV that do not support "volumeStatus" - @mluck

Picture attributes can be set all-at-once (like a scene), or modify just a subset; empty values, and values outside the 1..100 range, are not sent to the TV:

Picture Attributes


Hope the new picture settings are supported on other webOS versions, I can only tell you that it "works on my computer" (fw 23.20.58) :slight_smile:

Have fun!
