Could you build this?
Partial The dashboard and Home Assistant MQTT bridge are standard web and integration code, but the TV control layer depends on undocumented webOS internals and rooting exploits that vibe coding can't produce.
What it would actually take: The hard part is reverse-engineering LG's webOS service APIs and the internal ACR and ad-service components, then finding stable ways to disable them without breaking the TV. Rooting relies on exploit knowledge and device-specific firmware analysis. Building it requires embedded and security research skills plus test hardware across several TV models.
