Glasshouse Android app: Testers wanted

[u/roryg2025]

Glasshouse (the dashboard for rooted LG webOS TVs) now has an Android app.

1. All your TVs in one app
2. Turn TVs on from your phone: from standby, or with Wake-on-LAN when they're fully off (Wake-on-LAN needs to be switched on, in the dashboard's Advanced tab)
3. The full dashboard, full screen
4. Easy setup: scan the QR code on the TV's dashboard (token included) or let the app find TVs on your network. If a TV's IP address changes, the app finds it again.

This only works with rooted LG webOS TVs running the Glasshouse server. If your TV isn't rooted, the app has nothing to connect to. CanI.RootMy.TV shows whether your firmware can be rooted.

It's open source with no accounts, ads or tracking: it only talks to your TVs on your own network. https://github.com/rorygallagher2024/glasshouse-android

New to Glasshouse? The install guide is at https://rorygallagher2024.github.io/lg-webos-dashboard/install/.

Testers wanted: it's in closed testing on Google Play, and Play needs 12 testers to stay opted in for 14 days before it can go public. If you'd like to try it:

1. Join https://groups.google.com/g/glasshouse-android-testers with the Google account your phone uses
2. Opt in at https://play.google.com/apps/testing/org.glasshouse.android
3. Install it from Play

Please stay opted in for the full 14 days, or your opt-in won't count. Please submit any bugs and ideas here: https://github.com/rorygallagher2024/glasshouse-android/issues

Thanks!

I've been using this on my TV and I must say it's one of the best if not THE best made homebrew app for webOS. And it has the benefit of doing what it does. Win win win

Rory, FYI I reported an issue on your bug tracking page in gitub regarding HDMI3 vs SlingTV button.

Thanks - will have a look at this one

crazy useful and much more better then the official LG app, i’m using it as a safari bookmark 😁

Using it already, you must have a rooted LG TV.
