Getting started
From the project's README ("Install"):
Download org.webosbrew.lumenall.ipk from Releases, then either:
- From a PC with LG's CLI: npm install -g @webos-tools/cli, run ares-setup-device once, then ares-install org.webosbrew.lumenall.ipk.
- Over SSH (enable SSH in Homebrew Channel settings): copy the ipk to /tmp on the TV, then luna-send -n 1 'luna://com.webos.appInstallService/dev/install' '{"id":"org.webosbrew.lumen","ipkUrl":"/tmp/org.webosbrew.lumen<version>all.ipk","subscribe":true}'
Open Lumen Launcher from LG's launcher. To make a remote button open it, launch the app id org.webosbrew.lumen; for example, Home Assistant's webOS integration can call system.launcher/launch with {"id":"org.webosbrew.lumen"}.
