I had previously been using one of the 3rd party AppleTV add-ons to integrate with several AppleTVs. When I saw that everything should be officially supported, I uninstalled the 3rd party repo and rebooted. Now, none of my AppleTV devices are being discovered. When I try to add one manually, I get “No devices found on the network”, and there’s nothing in the logs when I try to manually add.
Does anyone have any advice for troubleshooting devices previously integrated, that HA now won’t discover? I made sure they weren’t “ignored”, toggling the “Show Ignored Integrations” checkbox in the integrations panel.
It turns out that having the HA built-in HomeKit Bridge configured was somehow messing up discovery. I deleted the bridge, and am now seeing 2 of my 3 AppleTV devices. This appears to be somewhat new behavior, I previously had AppleTV’s configured as direct integrations, but also had the HA bridge configured. I ALSO have Scrypted installed, and it also has HomeKit turned on. I wonder if that’s also causing issues with discovery.
Sure enough, I de-configured the Scrypted HomeKit plugin, rebooted, and the 3rd AppleTV popped up. Weird.
So I guess I’ll modify my question, if anyone has had any luck with having AppleTVs and Scrypted installed at the same time. I don’t really have a reason to keep the HA HomeKit bridge installed, I was just enabling it “because”.
I was having a similar problem. I was trying to add 2 Apple TVs that I had for some time. I could complete the pairing process w/ 3 pins, but then nothing would happen. They were never discovered, so I used the name which worked. After deleting all apple devices and integration, I could still not manage to add the devices, and they would never show up in the discovery, but two previously integrated apple TVs did and were successfully reintegrated.
It turned out that at some time in the past I had told HA to ignore the integration. Once I unignored the device integration, I was able to add them. So Mystery solved at least for me. This was all on the new tvOS18 BTW.
