Compatibility

Compatibility depends on the exact TV model, firmware, webOS version and remote. A successful installation does not prove Home routing, sound, standby or cold boot. Check the recorded tests and known limits before installing.

What to check on your own TV

  • Open another app and press Home once. Check actual remote buttons and sound; package checks cannot observe them.
  • Test triple Home emergency exit before relying on Home control. Older Helper through 0.6.13 uses a long Home hold instead.
  • Test standby/wake and a true cold boot separately. A result on one firmware does not verify another model or version.
