If you want to control your LG TV using voice commands, you should add it to Apple HomeKit. All you need is an active wireless network, an LG Smart TV (from 2018 or later), and an Apple device with the Home app. This guide showcases the process of integrating LG webOS TV with Apple HomeKit.
How to Connect LG TV to Apple HomeKit
1. Press the Home button on the LG Magic Remote.
2. Tap the Home Dashboard on your LG TV apps list. You will see a list of connected devices.
3. On the next page, click AirPlay. Then, tap AirPlay and HomeKit Settings. Click the Home option in the HOMEKIT section.
4. Set Up HomeKit dialog will appear with a QR code on the TV screen.
5. Grab your iPhone and run the Home app on it.
6. Tap the + icon at the top left corner of the Home app and click Add Accessory.
7. The Home app will show up the QR code scanner. Point your iPhone’s camera at the QR code on the TV screen.
8. The app will detect your LG TV within a few seconds. Once done, click Add to Home to add your LG TV to the Favorite Accessories in the Home app.
If the QR code scanner fails to scan the code shown on your LG TV, there is another way. Select the “I Don’t Have a Code or Cannot Scan” in the Home app. Then, type the 8-digit code displayed next to the QR code.
That’s it. Now, you can control your LG TV using your Apple device.
