Hi, same Problem for me. I hope someone can help!

I wonder if this is the same problem I’m having.

In my case when I turn off Apple TV (via its remote or via HA) the Apple TV reports “standby” as expected, but in a minute or so it reports “off”. When this happens there’s an error in the HA logs:

2024-03-24 13:56:46.872 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.apple_tv] Connection lost to Apple TV "Apple TV Family Room"
2024-03-24 13:58:00.633 ERROR (MainThread) [pyatv.protocols.airplay] Failed to set up remote control channel

What appears to happen is the Apple TV device goes to sleep and the connection is lost. I can no longer ping the IP of the Apple TV. In my case the Apple TV integration never restores, even if I power Apple TV back on using its remote. That is, I have to manually restart the Apple TV integration in Home Assistant.

This is pretty new behavior. I’ve been using HA to turn on my Apple TV for a year w/o any problem.

BTW, If I let the ping run sometimes the IP will respond, which might be causing intermittent connection in your case?

What’s interesting to me is I can wake up the Apple TV using my iPhone and Airplay. Makes me think there’s some kind of wake-on-lan that Airplay is using.

More info is at the pyatv issue I opened.

I’m really curious if others are having the same issue.
