Hermes Agent + Ollama: smart TV setup tutorial

Fahd Mirza outlines a smart TV workflow using Hermes Agent and a local model running through Ollama. He presents it with a 10-year-old LG TV and explains separate developer-mode steps for LG and Android TVs. Although he describes the approach as suitable for any smart TV, the tutorial does not establish compatibility with every model.

For LG, the instructions start with installing the Developer Mode app from LG's app store, signing in and enabling the setting. For Android TV, the speaker says to select Android TV OS build seven times, then enable USB debugging. The next step is to find the TV's IP address in its network settings.

The local AI setup pairs Ollama with Hermes Agent. The speaker directs viewers to install both, obtain a model and point Hermes at the model served by Ollama. This puts the AI agent on the computer side of the workflow; the tutorial does not describe running the model on the television itself.

A linked GitHub prompt supplies the instructions for connecting to the TV. According to the speaker, it tells the agent to ask before each change, turn apps off rather than delete them, and maintain an undo list. Viewers paste the prompt into Hermes and supply the TV's IP address when asked. These are stated precautions, not a demonstrated guarantee that changes cannot damage the TV's configuration.
