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.
