homebridge-switcheroo-webos

homebridge-switcheroo adapted for WebOS TVs

HDMI input switcher (radio buttons)

Works like a switcher - only one input can ever be on at one time.

Define your multiswitch with whatever name you want to appear as the input title on Homekit controls. Then, the appropriate endpoint path to call. WebOS supports the following: HDMI_1, HDMI_2, HDMI_3, HDMI_4, COMP_1, AV_1... The host is the local ip address of your TV. Mac is the mac address of your TV. To avoid issues here, it is recommended you assign the mac address of your TV to a static IP in your router configuration.
