## Ovverride buttons services

with version 2.0 the possibility of overriding the functionality of the button is introduced. you therefore have the possibility of calling a Home assistant service at your convenience

here are the [override keys](https://github.com/madmicio/LG-WebOS-Remote-Control/blob/master/Override_buttons.md) and the yaml configuration.

## AV receiver volume control Options

option dedicated to all those with problems controlling the volume of the AV Receiver through HDMI-cec commands.
if the ampli_entity item is configured, and when the sound output is set to external_arc (HDMI) or external_optical (optical output) then the remote control buttons will no longer act on the volume of the television, but on the volume of your receiver.

```yaml
type: 'custom:lg-remote-control'
entity: media_player.lg_webos_tv_oled55c8pla
mac: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
ampli_entity: media_player.marantz_sr6010
...
```

### power on/off Receiver
it would have been possible to implement automatic power on and choice of the input source of the Receiver when the sound output is set to external_arc (HDMI) or external_optical (optical output) and turn off the Receiver when any other sound output is set, but the card of home assistants do not work in background but only when rendered. for this and other reasons it is preferable to use a home assistant automation that manages the process, so the actions will also take place when operating with the physical remote control rather than with the home assistant card.

Below is an example of code:

```yaml
alias: "tv_receiver"
trigger:
- platform: template
value_template: "{{ state_attr('media_player.lg_webos_tv_oled55c8pla', 'sound_output') == 'external_arc' }}"
id: "external_arc"
- platform: template
value_template: "{{ state_attr('media_player.lg_webos_tv_oled55c8pla', 'sound_output') != 'external_arc' }}"
id: "tv_speaker"
- platform: state
entity_id: media_player.lg_webos_tv_oled55c8pla
from: 'off'
to: 'on'
id: "tv_on"
- platform: state
entity_id: media_player.lg_webos_tv_oled55c8pla
from: 'on'
to: 'off'
id: "tv_off"
action:
- choose:
- conditions: "{{ trigger.id == 'tv_on' }}"
sequence:
- condition: template
value_template: "{{ state_attr('media_player.lg_webos_tv_oled55c8pla', 'sound_output') == 'external_arc' }}"
- service: media_player.turn_on
target:
entity_id: media_player.marantz_sr6010
- wait_template: "{{ is_state('media_player.marantz_sr6010', 'on') }}"
- service: media_player.select_source
data:
source: TV Audio
target:
entity_id: media_player.marantz_sr6010
- conditions: "{{ trigger.id == 'external_arc'}}"
sequence:
- if: "{{ is_state('media_player.marantz_sr6010', 'on') }}"
then:
- service: media_player.select_source
data:
source: TV Audio
target:
entity_id: media_player.marantz_sr6010
else:
- service: media_player.turn_on
target:
entity_id: media_player.marantz_sr6010
- wait_template: "{{ is_state('media_player.marantz_sr6010', 'on') }}"
- service: media_player.select_source
data:
source: TV Audio
target:
entity_id: media_player.marantz_sr6010
- conditions: "{{ trigger.id == 'tv_speaker' or trigger.id == 'tv_off' }}"
sequence:
- service: media_player.turn_off
target:
entity_id: media_player.marantz_sr6010
```

# Channel pad
in this version of the card there is no longer a "channel pad popup" with preset channels.
this is to give each user the ability to create his own list.

"channels" configuration is not mandatory. if "channels" is not configured the remote control will work normally but you will not be able to use the channel pad.
pressing the button on the remote control you will receive this message.
