Developing Alex Skill using WebOS

By Uwe Lammers, in LG AI ThinQ TV Discussion

Hi all,

I have the following problem: I own a 2018 E8 LG OLED TV which was bought in Germany and now runs WebOS 4.10.31.

When the E8 came out LG had announced to support Amazon's Alexa via the LG Smart ThinQ Skill but this has not

materialized - only the 2019er models are supported (which I think run webOS 4.5). What can be done?

I thought perhaps to try to write a Skill myself (I have some experience with this) using webOS. Question, is this possible

at all? Can I control the basic TV functions (switch on, off, volume up, down, etc) through webOS? If yes, where is the

API documented? Any other advice?

Thanks

Uwe

    • Disney Plus on LG webOS TVs

      I was reading a few articles on the launch of Disney Plus but they did not list any of the tvs such as LG webos or samsung tv. I hope disney plus comes out in lg tvs.  Its supposed to launch November 12th in the US for $6.99 a month or $69.99 a year. They also said there will be a $12.99-per-month trio bundle of Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ that is coming. I'm already doing espn for $4.99, I may do the entire bundle to get hulu also, not sure, At the minimum, I am definitely going to get Disney plus

    • Question: WebOs 4.5 Multi-view?

      Hello everyone, I just got the 50UM7500BSP TV, so i know that the webOS 3.0 and 3.5 has the function of Multi-view, where you can see two entrys of video at the same time spliting the screen. So my answer is the webOS 4.5 has that function? because i cant do it on my TV (well know is up to date at webOS 4.7). I ask to the LG support and they told me that yes it has it, but i cant find it, i dont know if its a app now or what. Please help me, i need this function.
