Hello Community,
I try to monitor Apple TV usage by exporting datas to Mosquito.
To do that, I created a Node-Red flow

The major problem that I’m facing is the refresh information. Indeed, there are multiple issues :
- Some time, datas are in msg.data.new_state.attributes and sometime in msg.data.attributes
- When I switched from a Youtube video to another, the “event state” node don’t refresh even if I uncheck to ignore change “Current state equals previous state”
Do someone success to implement a monitor of Apple TV usage ?
