Hi am newbie,

I read that webOS can be installed in Raspberry Pi 3 but can node-red runs on LG webOS or i need another Pi than runs on Raspbian and use the node-red to control LG screen with Pi 3 running webOS?

Thank you

slightly confused here - you said "with Pi 3 running webOS" - is that correct ? or is it running on the TV. Either way - we have no idea as we haven't tried it - I would suspect it's unlikely to work as first you need node.js installed so if you can install that you may be ok... but as you're the first to try - please let us know 🙂

Hi sorry about it. Actually i will get LG screen along with pi3 to test it. It can be any other screen. [https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/webos-open-source-edition-raspberry-pi/](https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/webos-open-source-edition-raspberry-pi/) . I am just not sure if node-red can run on it once i install webOS.

Thank you

If I read the documentation correctly: you need to [build an image on another system](http://webosose.org/discover/setting/requirements/), image it to an SD card and then boot from it on the RPI. It is an OS by itself, no shell access by the looks of it.

I think @hobbyquaker is probably the best person to ask at this point... as he has interfaced to TVs using it - [https://github.com/hobbyquaker/lgtv2](https://github.com/hobbyquaker/lgtv2)
