Apple TV

My HomePods are connected directly to HA as mediaplayers (apple tv integration), no need for the HomeKit bridge for this. I also use chimeTTS and there’s definitely a delay in the announcement, but not as much as you described. Maybe try connecting them this way?

The problem I have both the Apple TV and HomeKit integrations set up in HA. I'm not entirely sure which of these two integrations this issue is caused by, but I think it might be HomeKit, so I'm reporting it under that integration for now. I have set up the HomeKit integration with the following settings: - HomeKit Mode - Bridge - Inclusion Mode - Include - Domains to include - Switch, Scripts, Scenes, Cover - Advanced Configuration (Device Triggers) - My Apple TV's (x2) This exposes my Apple TVs as stateless programmable switches in HomeKit, with individual buttons for each state trigger. I …

I only have an apple tv 4k on my end but I've configured automations to turn off the lights when I watch Netflix and that works pretty well. I have to reload the Integration whenever I reboot the apple tv though. On my end the appel tv is wired and on a different VLAN and it still works within home assistant. I do use Google alongside my home assistant install though. Not sure any of this information helps you though.

The problem Is there anyway to exclude the 2 non functioning buttons exposed by adding the media player entity for the apple tv to homekit? only one of these actually turns the apple tv on and off. Visually this creates unwanted clutter. Is there anyway to exclude these? Or to make a standalone entity for the power switch? ### What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue? 2024.3.3 ### What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core? _No response_ ### What type of installation are you running?

Once you’ve set up your Apple TV as a HomeKit hub, it’s automatically integrated into the Home app. What would be the need or benefit of adding it again via the HomeKit Bridge? for use in automations. that apple native integration doesnt allow you to turn off the apple tv via homekit scenes or automations. only via siri. its a known limitation.

My Samsung frame tvs do not turn on with the appletv remote but turn off just fine. Have an automation that when appletv turns on, turn on the Samsung frame. Works perfectly now.

I can get the homepods to show up in the media list if I turn them off via the "remote" button in home assistant. Once off, they show up on the list. Then you can turn on, and play whatever was playing before. However, you can't select something different (nor use TTS). When you go back to the Media link, it says "Player does not support browsing media". I wonder if the issue may be from other component and not from homekit, since the homepods are integrated via AppleTV integration. Other players (ex: Denon) also don't show up. Maybe media player component itself. Looks like universal media …
