That makes sense, I mentioned it more to get more of a clear picture of what exactly is causing the issue. Moving your top box away from the TV wouldn't be a good permanent solution. Either way I think you're right in that it's a protocol issue and can probably be fixed with a software update. I don't think the remote has bluetooth though. When I point a camera at it I can see the IR led flickering when I turn on the TV. And when I hold my hand in front of the led, the TV doesn't respond to the power button any more. I think rather, when you press a button on the remote, the TV itself sends a bluetooth signal to the top box.

Ah right, I do remember seeing that message. I tried adding a T-Mobile device from the device selector to see if the same was happening to my TV. Though my tv was still able to turn on and off through homekit. Though I don't actually have a T-Mobile top box. I suppose it is the top box itself that is interfering with the bluetooth signal, not necessarily the setting of the LG Magic Remote. Have you tried moving your top box further away from the TV?

@chris4prez ah cool, I was wondering where you found that setting. I tried it and appletv seems to be using bluetooth as well. So it seems like both homekit hubs, as well as your phone using homekit, as well as the LG TV Plus app are using bluetooth to turn on the tv. Not sure what the 'Turn on via Wi-Fi' setting is for then.

I have AppleTV but I can't seem to turn off bluetooth so I can't test it, but I'm assuming it uses bluetooth just like your phone. So when you are away from your tv the homekit hub just sends a bluetooth message to the tv just like your phone would.

Hmm I'm not seeing that message, though when I turn off bluetooth on my phone it doesn't connect anymore, so it must be using BT then. All is working fine for me now, not sure what's different about my setup compated to others. I do occasionally get disconnected (it happened just now) but I'm not sure what's causing it. My TV turned off out of nowhere just now, right after turning it on, I think it might be CEC. Right after it turned off homekit was reporting 'now response'. But after I started it with the remote everything worked fine again.

@robertapple1 ah hmm interesting. I always thought the tv homekit integration used the local (wifi) network for communicating.

Hmm interesting, homekit not working when the tv is off makes sense to me. The tv is off so some sort of connection is closed probably. But having it not working when it’s off but not when on is a bit strange. in other news, my tv fixed itself and now I can turn it on from homekit as well. I happened to be messing around with my soundbar when it started working but I’m not sure if that’s what triggered it.

I was having the same issue as mrwigster. It would say no response when the tv was off. And then it just magically fixed itself. I had to reset the tv settings because of a different issue though, and now it’s not working anymore I’m hoping it magically fixes itself again.
