FAQ - APP Option how to add a app that is not listed!
As this Blueprint grows, we will be adding more options to select. Since I don’t have access to every device, it’s challenging to determine what works and what is available. If your app is not listed in the drop-down menu and is a mainstream app, please post a screenshot of your device displaying the attributes while using the app. This way, I can verify what is required and update the blueprint to include the app. To do this, go to Developer Tools > States Tab and search for your entity, as shown below.
Once you find your media player, you will see a list of attributes. Below is an example using Apple TV. Note the ‘app_id’. This is what you would include in the input. You may not see ‘app_id’; instead, you might see ‘app_name’ or ‘media_content_type’. All of these options are supported, so you can input whatever you see into the input.
In the example below, in ‘app_id: com.apple.TVWatchList’, you would copy ‘com.apple.TVWatchList’ and paste it directly into the input, then press enter. This will add your app to the automation. This has already been added to the blueprint; selecting ‘Apple TV’ from the dropdown menu would achieve the same result.
Sharing what you can see will help expand this blueprint and make it more versatile for other community members. Collaborating together will benefit everyone.
Enjoy
