Request: TV Visible in Control Center

[Peterjohnwood]

Hi @AntonioMeireles ,

Is it possible to get the TV volume visible in the control center?

[AntonioMeireles]

you need to have the

"customVolumeSlider": true,

snippet on your TV's config block homebridge's in settings.json

that should make the Volume be visible :-)

Happy New Year!

Thanks @AntonioMeireles i mean like a normal HomeKit compatible TV, in IOS control Centre

[Peterjohnwood]

Happy new year to you too

@Peterjohnwood

how so?, it should just be there ... can you post a screenshot / example of what are you looking for ? (maybe it's just me missing the point)

[Peterjohnwood]

lol, no problem, so I have the volume control turned on and can (via home) turn the volume up and down. Where I’m referring to is here, is there anyway to show the TV in this section and be able to use this area re volume control:

@Peterjohnwood thats an airplay feature, not a home feature. sure you could setup an airplay speaker proxy to allow you to change the tv's volume but it won't show the now playing and will also be a bit verbose. in terms of an implementation for this plugin, it's a little bit more difficult than just adding one line of code, it's writing a whole other plugin and then writing interface code to allow the two to communicate.

Thanks for your response @g30r93g, i thought as much to be honest, I just wasn’t 100% sure if that control panel was only an airplay feature. 👍🏼

@Peterjohnwood

yeah! @g30r93g is right - not much i could do without inside help from Panasonic folks.

Happy New Year for both.

Closing.

But did you know that you can use the iPhone volume buttons to control the TV volume? Just select the Panasonic TV in the Apple TV Remote control and try.

Oh nice one...thanks for that...just sorted it for me :)
