Tv
A TV in this role is a television Home Assistant controls locally as a media player and remote: power, volume, input source, and app launch with no cloud round trip.
A smart TV exposes two things to Home Assistant: display control (power, volume, HDMI input, app selection) and playback state. Both run over the local network through the brand’s integration. The main setup consideration is power-on: most TVs sleep their network stack, so waking them relies on Wake-on-LAN or a network-standby setting that the installer enables once during commissioning.
How Selora AI uses TVs
- Movie-night orchestration where one scene lowers the lights, closes the shades, powers the TV on, and switches it to the right input or app.
- Source and app switching that jumps straight to a streaming app or HDMI input from a dashboard, button, or voice command.
- All-off assurance so bedtime and away routines confirm the panel is actually off, not idling on a menu, and cut the volume before anyone is woken by an autoplay trailer.
Why TVs belong in the smart home
The TV is the largest and most-used screen in the house. Controlling it locally keeps it responsive, keeps viewing habits private, and turns its state into a signal the whole home can react to.

The MRGB95 is LG's first flagship RGB-backlit LCD, replacing white LEDs with individually controlled red, green, and blue emitters for OLED-class color at brightness levels OLED cannot reach.

OLED evo AI B6
The LG OLED evo B6 (2026) brings LG's OLED picture and full webOS control to a lower price point. Home Assistant's local webostv integration drives power, volume, HDMI input, and app launch, so budget-conscious installs still get complete playback-aware automation in secondary rooms.

The LG OLED evo C6 (2026) is the sweet spot of LG's OLED range and our default recommendation for media rooms.

QNED evo AI QNED92

StanbyME 2
The StanbyME 2 is a 27-inch battery-powered webOS touchscreen that detaches from its rolling stand, built for kitchens, bedrooms, and patios rather than a wall. It answers the same local webostv integration as LG's full-size sets, which makes it an unusually capable roaming dashboard as well as a second screen.
