Apple TV Integration - tvOS 15 Beta

The list should be complete I think. You can technically call a few more, like play for instance, but you should use the regular services for that. Anything you are missing?

Thank you. I’ll check for an update later.

Mainly to suspend the ATV. I send home, home_hold and select commands but not always work

That is exactly what the turn_off method does in the power interface, which isn’t callable right now. It will be part of the regular power functions (when you turn on or off the media player for instance) pretty soon I think.

Hi I’m using the Home Assistant Installation in a Docker Container on a Raspberry Pi.
The Docker Image which is installed has the Apple TV Integration preinstalled, so i have no idea which version I have now.
When I try to connect the Apple TV I can enter the Code for AirPlay but then get the Error:
“The configuration for this device is incomplete. Please try adding it again.”
Yesterday I also had the MRP Error.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

You have the version shipped with Home Assistant, you need to install the beta version from here:

My Problem is that I have no idea, how i can use the beta version of this integration, because I’m using the Home Assistant Installation in a Docker Container.
Can you give me a guide how to change the version of this integration in the docker container?

This is the version of HA I’m using:
ghcr.io/home-assistant/raspberrypi3-homeassistant:latest

EDIT: Got it working with HACS integration!

how did you get it working with HACS?
i cant find the integration in the list or a way to add a custom repo
EDIT: Got it working with HACS integration too!

How did you get it installed using HACS?

@postlund When do you think the changes will be pushed into the HA master branch?

I don’t have any time frame and I’m not gonna make any guesses either. I have learned from last time… But I hope to do that soon. Updating the tests are my last big thing to do (except for one last thing in pyatv).

Like you, I have multiple instances of Apple TV, but I also have multiple instances of Sonos speakers discovered by HomeKit.

Its really easy.
You have to set up the HACS integration which is preinstalled on the Docker version of Home Assistant.
When everything is ready and the link to GitHub was successful, you can navigate to the HACS menu item. There you can click the button “Explore & add repositories” under Integrations. Here you can find the beta version of the Apple TV integration.

When I search for Apple, I only find something for iCloud. Am I doing something wrong?

Sounds like an old Home Assistant Version. Imo this is offtopic. I recommend you to open a thread with as many infos provided (How deployed, Version, Screenshots etc etc)

This is working pretty good for me, I love that you can send TTS to homepods. Not yet perfect but works well so far! Great work, I appreciate that you shared this with us!! Thank You

@DeLub You have to add the custom repository first. Go to the HACS screen and click the ellipses at the top right. Then click Custom Repositories and add the URL - https://github.com/postlund/hass-atv-beta

You need to manually add the Beta Repo to HACS
