LG webOS Smart TV integration requires manual acceptance every time the integration reloads.

The problem

Let me begin by saying I am not certain that this is an issue with the WebOS integration.

When the WebOS integration reloaded (or Home Assistant is restarted)and attempts to connect to the TV, the TV has a popup that states:

“If you accept this connect, LG Remote App will be able to access and store information about your TV.” And to remove the popup you must select “Yes”, if you choose “No” it just asks again.

This has only started somewhat recently, within perhaps the last 2 months. I can’t say for certain whether it was a TV update or a Home Assistant update that happened around the time the issue started.

I imagine that the TV should automatically accept an app that has been previously allowed, and that something (a key or ID maybe?!) isn’t being saved somewhere, whether that’s a fault of the TV or the integration I can’t say, perhaps someone smarter than me can suggest where to look. I’m more than happy to perform whatever troubleshooting necessary.

I am using a model OLED65C1PTB LG TV,

I understand the cause for this issue, no need for additional data. It can happen if the TV forgets the pairing while HA still think it is paired, I am working on a fix.

same proble here, waiting for the solution. THANK YOU
