How can I trigger to toggle or turn on Apple TV and Remote when my lights in theater rooms turn on?
I tried to trigger using action Device Turn ON, Device Toggle, Remote Turn On and Remote Toggle. None worked.
It’s a switch. Use switch - turn on
seems like I need to reload apptv in HA again. somehow integration broke.
now with alexa voice command I can start projector/avr/apple tv and appletv smart plug and lights. when my theater light is on, it will check if apple tv smart plug on, if ON, HA automation will trigger apple tv and remote in dashboard. When I resume play, all light go OFF. On pause light comes ON. Outstanding item, when menu button is pressed HA sees it as paused and trigger lights ON. Have to modify automation to trigger this only when apps are open.
Just check the state of the “remote” switch for light changes. If it’s OFF - the TV is off and therefore you can do whatever you want with the lights.
