tv should be capitalized since it is a class name

And it is a type of Device, so you can use that instead, and you'll need to call launch_app(), which is only available on an instance of that class, not a Device, so you should assign that to a variable.

You might want to double check what actual objects that WebOsClient accepts as parameters, too. The documentation says it's a IP string, not a tv object

class SmartTV(Device):
    #launching an application
    def launch_app(self, app):
        try:
            webos_client = WebOsClient(self.ip)
            webos_client.launch_app(app)

            for app in webos_client.get_apps():
                print(app)

smarttv = SmartTV('192.168.0.105','Smart')
smarttv.launch_app('com.webos.app.music')  # You're missing this
