I am trying to simulate the action of pressing the power button on the appletv remote on home assistant
is that possible?
any help would be much appreciated
When you add apple TV integration, it will create 2 entities
media_player.[apple_tv_name]
remote.[apple_tv_name]
You can use the remote service to turn it on
i cant seem to find the auto created remote entity what should i do?
media_player.turn_on
on the entity does the same thing.
hmm so how do i go about making an action in an automation with media_player.turn_on, sorry im very new to HA
Have you add the apple TV intergration yet
Setting > Device & services
yup i have it
how do you want it to trigger? if you want to put it in an automation, fill in the trigger
- alias: [automation_name]
trigger:
action:
- service: media_player.turn_on
target:
entity_id: media_player.apple_tv_name
i just tried to put this into an automation and got this error
Message malformed: Unable to determine action @ data[‘action’][0]
Can you paste your automation?
description: ""
mode: single
trigger: []
condition: []
action:
- action:
- service: media_player.turn_on
target: null
entity_id: media_player.home_cinema
alias: testaptv
shouldnt be like that? and what trigger you want to turn it on?
