@jmart987 have you seen the latest repo here? https://github.com/cmer/lg-tv-control-macos

hope that helps!

Works great! If you want to change inputs by using keyboard events/taps you could also add this in the .lua file ( I have this line at the top ) :

local control_inputs = true -- Switch inputs by events from keyboard

And then add this :

event = hs.eventtap.new({hs.eventtap.event.types.keyDown, hs.eventtap.event.types.systemDefined}, function(event)
    local type = event:getType()
    if type == hs.eventtap.event.types.keyDown then
      local keyCode = hs.keycodes.map[event:getKeyCode()]
        if keyCode == "f1" then
          exec_command("setInput HDMI_1")
        elseif keyCode == "f2" then
          exec_command("setInput HDMI_2")
        elseif keyCode == "f3" then
          exec_command("setInput HDMI_3")
        elseif keyCode == "f4" then
          exec_command("setInput HDMI_4")
        end
      end
end)

if control_inputs then
  event:start()
end

If you want other keys and not f1,2,3,4, just replace the strings with desired keys.
