You have some other (custom integration) that depends on an old version of protobuf. The diagnostics might help you finding it.

divemasterjm · February 4, 2022, 12:20pm

Can you please tell me how?

casperse · February 4, 2022, 8:26pm

Sorry if this is a stupid Q
I had this working before but with the latest HA update I went back and tried the internal integration but I found that my Homepod was missing so I removed everything and re-installed the plugin.

But I think the latest upgrade of my Homepod broke the integration?
Apple TV works fine?
Homepod sw: 15.3

Trying to add Homepod with Apple TV Beta HAC 3.01
I keep getting this error:

I have tried removing all trace of the old setup from the core.config_entries and done multiple reboots?
Any input is much appreciated! (Lessons learned if it works done mess with it!)

moto2000 · February 5, 2022, 12:33am

This beta was passed onto the latest HA release. Uninstall this beta, restart HA and let it auto discover. No need for the beta anymore. It’s even in the release notes.

postlund · February 5, 2022, 8:09am

You need to go into the Home app and change access settings for speakers and televisions to “Everyone on the same network”. Should work after that.

Mike1977 · February 5, 2022, 9:33am

The new Version works great, an my HomePod Mini’s are all discovered and shows what is playing currently.

Is there a way to control and start playlists / radio stations from apple music on the Homepod with Home Assistant?

postlund · February 5, 2022, 9:53am

No, currently not. I have not managed to figure out how that works (yet).

casperse · February 5, 2022, 2:30pm

That did the trick but after adding my Apple TV and my Homepod I cant edit any of the fields (Cant even close the settings window) I have done a reboot and adding the devices works but I normally name all my devices by room - device - item

It is like its “read only”

ogiewon · February 5, 2022, 3:03pm

@postlund - I have been patiently waiting for this integrated release of your AppleTV integration for tvOS15. I just upgraded my Home Assistant to 2022.2.2 and all of my AppleTVs have been automatically discovered. I just configured my main family room AppleTV4K(2021) and everything went great.

Thank you so much for all of your hard work on this integration!

StefanHabel · February 5, 2022, 3:45pm

What is the integration good for? Just to play/pause playback?

postlund · February 5, 2022, 4:47pm

Playback controls, navigation (up, left, menu, etc), metadata, artwork, app listing and launching and streaming audio (local and remote file) via AirPlay (works with TTS).

StefanHabel · February 5, 2022, 7:01pm

Ah ok. How do I use tts?

postlund · February 5, 2022, 8:09pm

You either click the three dots on the media player in the fronted and use the ui from there. Or you use any of the services in the tts component, e.g. tts.google_translate_say.

Duckshousemacservice · February 10, 2022, 4:52pm

Does this also apply to airport express gen 2? I can’t get volume and tts working.

postlund · February 10, 2022, 5:33pm

Yes, TTS should work (check the logs). Volume will only work for whatever you are steaming to it in Home Assistant (like when using TTS). You can’t change volume (or anything else for that matter) when someone else is streaming. That’s a limitation in AirPlay.

My ATV integration stopped working recently. I’m not sure when this happened. I removed device and when I try to add it again, it doesn’t show up in the list. Not only that, but trying to add it with the static IP address of the Apple TV does not work either.

I’ve tried multiple restarts of both Home Assistant and the Apple TV. Double checked the IP address and tried it both with and without the beta integration in HACS. I also tried to log it, but nothing shows up in the logs. Not even without the “default: warn” disabled (holy shit there are a lot of log entries when that’s disabled!).

I know it’s hard to troubleshoot this without logs, but does any of you have an idea what’s going on? I use HA Core with Docker, without net-host, but that has never caused any problems before…

I tried it with and without the beta integration (installed with HACS).

moto2000 · February 12, 2022, 9:03pm

If you’re on the latest HA core version then you don’t need the HACS beta integration anymore. It’s been added to the native integration now.

Try removing the HACS beta, then restart HA and see if it auto-discovers. If not, then try adding it manually via the devices/integrations page.

Aeiou · February 12, 2022, 9:08pm

Thanks for your reply! Yes, I’m aware of that. But I tried it with and without the HACS beta integration, just to be sure. Apologies if that wasn’t clear in my previous post.

Didn’t work either way though. I currently have it uninstalled and discovery nor adding it manually works. Really odd.

postlund · February 13, 2022, 9:02pm

When you add it manually, what message do you get?
