Overview
Reverse-engineered LG ThinQ/WebOS APIs on a Raspberry Pi, then wired an AI agent so voice commands play movies/shows without fighting the remote or ad-laden UI.
How it works
A REST server on the Pi controls the LG WebOS TV over its WebSocket API, and an AI agent uses it so voice commands go straight to content.
Hardware
- Raspberry Pi
- LG WebOS TV
