Homekit, deviceclass tv and webostv integration

[alternativ]

Home Assistant release with the issue:

0.94.0.dev0

Last working Home Assistant release (if known):

Operating environment (Hass.io/Docker/Windows/etc.):

• Raspberry PI
• LG OLED65C7V

Component/platform:

https://www.home-assistant.io/components/webostv/

Description of problem:

Not possible to use the newly introduced homekit tv class to control webOS tv. The logging shows as below.

Your configuration contains extra keys that the platform does not support (but were silently accepted before 0.88). Please find and remove the following.This will become a breaking change.

I don't think thats how you set device_class - looks like you can do it through the front end though - https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/customizing-devices/?

Hey there @cdce8p, mind taking a look at this issue as its been labeled with a integration (homekit) you are listed as a codeowner for? Thanks!

@alternativ Please move device_class: tv to the customize section for the entity. Next remove the feature_list parameter for the tv and lastly take a look at https://www.home-assistant.io/components/homekit#my-media-player-is-not-showing-up-as-a-television-accessory
You will need to temporarily exclude the tv via the filter option and then add it again. The documentation should help you with that.

I got a very similar warning on 93.1 and a media_player custom component.
The component works.
[https://github.com/pkozul/ha-tts-bluetooth-speaker]

WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.helpers.config_validation] Your configuration contains extra keys that the platform does not support.

media_player:
  - platform: tts_bluetooth_speaker

    volume: 0.8

@ik0adr that error has nothing to do with homekit, I would recommend contacting whomever created the tts_bluetooth_speaker custom component

Hi!

I have followed this instructions:

@alternativ Please move device_class: tv to the customize section for the entity. Next remove the feature_list parameter for the tv and lastly take a look at https://www.home-assistant.io/components/homekit#my-media-player-is-not-showing-up-as-a-television-accessory
You will need to temporarily exclude the tv via the filter option and then add it again. The documentation should help you with that.

I also set the auto_start to false and included the 5 min start automations, and no success so far.

My config is:

media_player:
  - platform: webostv
    host: 192.168.1.103
    name: living_room_tv
    timeout: 5
    filename: webostv.config
    turn_on_action:
      service: wake_on_lan.send_magic_packet
      data:
        mac: !secret LGwebOSTV_MAC_Wired

homekit:
  auto_start: False
  filter:
    include_domains:
      - media_player

customise:

media_player.living_room_tv:
  device_class: tv

and the automation:

- alias: 'Start HomeKit'
  trigger:
    platform: homeassistant
    event: start
  action:
    - delay: 00:05  # Waits 5 minutes
    - service: homekit.start

On the other hand if I do:

homekit:
  filter:
    include_entities:
      - media_player.living_room_tv
  entity_config:
    media_player.living_room_tv:
      feature_list:
        - feature: on_off
        - feature: play_pause
        - feature: play_stop
        - feature: toggle_mute

I can see the tv in the Home app but only as a switch, so no further features than On/Off.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help!
