As of tvos13 the internal integration is not more suitable to use and bricked
@postlund is already making a new version of it and it works great (thumbs up!!!)
I will not cover the installation because postlund’s github provides enough information about that

The volume buttons are only able to control my volume on devices that I have configured to use HDMI CEC for volume control. Thanks
@postlund for help in sorting that out.

I’m wondering if someone can guide me in the right direction. I tried adding the config from celawlor above into a empty a Lovelace dashboard and I can’t get it to work properly. What tags/levels need to be in the raw configuration before the first “cards:” tag?
Currently I have:
views:
- path: apple-tv-remote
title: APPLE TV REMOTE
- cards:
- cards:
- entity: media_player.master_bedroom_apple_tv
And my “Apple Tv Remote” view is empty, but a Unnamed View appears with the buttons on it (but not formatted nicely).
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi, guys. I have been trying to figure out the command that calls the menu to configure subtitles / audio / speakers settings. I thought it would be easy, but I could not find the information anywhere. Can anybody help me on that? Thanks in advance!

Volume needs to be set up properly with CEC on the device in order to work.

How do I go about doing that?
Hi Pierre,
I was just wondering if it would be possible to launch apps via this integration. Here is where I got for the moment.
but would like to have something similar as what I have for my FireTV which looks like

No, it’s currently not possible. Support for another protocol called companion is needed for this. Apple just couldn’t settle with one protocol now, could they?
Of course not, someone needs to confuse the Russians. What do you think about the remote layout ?

Hello @ronwjr1973 , have you ever made it work ? I have the same problem.
I’m pretty sure HDMI-CEC is enabled, since I can turn on the TV and set its volume with the real Apple TV remote but it doesn’t work when I call the remote.send_command service with volume_up
Is this the correct way to do it ?
service: remote.send_command
data_template:
entity_id: remote.my_remote
command: volume_up
Thanks in advance

Incredibly basic question/problem that I’m almost embarrassed to post. I’m trying to install the integration. When I put in the IP address I get this message: This device has already been configured. Please pick another device.
Any suggestions?
I really don’t understand because I manage to turn on the TV sending the
