Programming MLGW

2 replies

I need some help with programming MLGW with the BS3.

All I need to make it do is switch on/off my LG screen when powering up and down my BS3.
Ive been watching a lecture video given by John Pechiar and now know how to connect to the box and semi know how it should be set up. 
The easiest way I think would be to connect the MLGW with the screen through ethernet - does anyone know the IP port LG uses? After searching around for a while I’ve gotten many different answers..
Does anyone know what command string to use? From what I can tell, also after searching the web, the command should simply be «k a» - although I find it strange that on and off have the same command?
Any help would be much appreciated. Would very much like to get rid of that LG remote.

Just in case you consider a home automation integration, I built an integration with Home Assistant, the leading open-sourche home automation, here:
