B&O Mozart: Show active Listening position and Sound mode on LG screen

,

A small blueprint to see the current Listening Position, Sound mode and input signal on Beosound/Beovision Theatre, when the screen is turned on.

There are some prerequisites for this blueprint to work:

    • A Beosound/Beovision Theatre with an LG OLED screen
    • Bang & Olufsen HACS component version 2.3.1 or higher (https://github.com/bang-olufsen/bang_olufsen-hacs)
      • The ‘Input signal sensor’ must be enabled on Beosound Theatre on the device page. See picture 2.
    • Your LG screen must be connected to Home Assistant using the ‘webostv’ integration.
      • This will create a notify.-service for the screen, which we use to send notifications to the TV. See picture 3.

    Install the blueprint using the button below and fill all fields.

    1. Select your Beosound Theatre media_player entity.
    2. Select the “Input signal sensor” for your Beosound Theatre (which is disabled by default – see picture 2).
    3. Select the select-entity for setting Listening mode on Theatre.
    4. Select your LG TV.
    5. Enter your notify.-service name. If you only have one LG screen it defaults to notify.lg_webos_smart_tv (otherwise, see picture 3).
    6. Enable “Trigger on input signal” if you would like to get a notification every time the input signal changes to a valid signal (“Unknown” is excluded). Please note that if you are using e.g. an Apple TV, you may want to disable Navigation clicks on the set-top-box to avoid false triggers.
      If you leave this toggle disabled, you will only get a notification when you change Listening Position or Sound mode.
    Open your Home Assistant instance and show the blueprint import dialog with a specific blueprint pre-filled.

    Picture 2: Go to Settings / Devices & services / Bang & Olufsen / Beosound Theatre and locate the sensor section. If you do not see the Input signal sensor, select “x entities not shown”, press the Input signal sensor and enable it. Wait about 30 secs for it to initiate.

    Picture 3: To see which notify-service your LG screen is using, go to Developer tools > Services and enter “notify”. You should see one with LG in its name in the list. This is the one to enter in the “LG screen notification service”-section in the blueprint.
