Alexa unable to find Apple TV power switch

[andypburke]

I am trying to expose the Apple TV power switch so I can get Alexa to turn on/off my Apple TV. I have installed homebridge-apple-tv-remote and it seems to work but the switch isn't discovered. Config details below. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

        "name": "Apple TV Platform",
        "devices": [
            {
                "name": "Extension 4K (App TV)",
                "credentials": ".......",
                "isOnOffSwitchEnabled": true,
                "onOffSwitchName": "Apple TV Power",
                "isOnOffTvEnabled": true,
                "isPlayPauseSwitchEnabled": true
            }
        ],
        "platform": "AppleTvPlatform"
    },
    {
        "name": "Alexa",
        "username": "ZZZZ",
        "password": "XXX",
        "pin": "791-16-454",
        "routines": true,
        "blind": false,
        "door": false,
        "debug": false,
        "deviceListHandling": "allow",
        "combine": [
            {
                "into": "App TV",
                "from": [
                    "Apple TV Power"
                ]
            }
        ],
        "platform": "Alexa"
    }
],

Did you read this section of the README ?

https://github.com/NorthernMan54/homebridge-alexa#apple-tv

and in particular the second example from my setup ?

The naming requirements need to be followed exactly or it won't work.

Hi @NorthernMan54 Thanks for this. I thought it was correct, but I have made a few more tweaks and it has now appeared. I am just testing it now as it doesn't always switch on or off when invoked, but I think that might be an issue with the appletv-remote plugin.

Okay, will close this
