Question: Will this work with newer Apple TV remotes?

First, Awesome project!

Second, Will this library work with the Siri Remote 3rd generation? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205329

There's a high chance that some of the buttons will work, because the remote model and tv model are interchangeable. Just try it I guess. If it doesn't work at all or partially, there's still hope.

Great to know!

With the Harmony Elite discontinued, I've been thinking about using an Apple TV remote as a Universal Remote connected to a Raspberry Pi as the hub.

Feel free to close this issue. Thanks for the quick response!

I'm actually interested if it works or not. Would be nice to support more models.

@Stuckya any news on this? Have you tried it?

@Yanndroid I tried it with Siri Remote 3 gen and it fails at writing magic byte:

I don't have 2 gen to check if it's 3 gen specific or not. But I capture connection of 3 gen to Macbook with working RemoteBuddy 2 using PacketLogger, hope this will help. (MAC of Siri Remote is 10:B9:C4:1D:44:59) BL.zip

@superpupervlad

Hi there, Thanks for also providing bluetooth logs from MacOS, they were indeed very useful. I made a second branch with some adjustments for your remote. Would be nice if you can try it out. (It also contains more stuff for logging)

@Yanndroid Here is the output from new branch:

@superpupervlad Thanks, you can remove the logging part now (bt.py L.15-L.21).

Doesn't it print anything when you press buttons after that? The battery percentage should also be printed at the beginning (at least mine sends it).

You can try commenting out one or more of the lines in remote.py (L.54-59). Or all of them and see if the battery is printed when you plug or unplug the remote. I don't know why your version has so many Report Characteristics in Human Interface Device.

Mine only has those for HID:

Something else might be the MTU. I doubt it, but try setting it to 247 instead (remote.py L.50).

@Yanndroid The problem was on my side. My bt agent works in NoInputNoOutput mode and when linux tries to pair with remote it fails and all enable_notifications doesn't work. So I execute bt-agent -c DisplayYesNo and then pair it and it started to work.

Interesting thing that without 19-20 lines in new bt.py it will not print any output.

It seems that new gen has new button map: e.g. 1000 means that after I press power button program prints 0x39 1000. After release button it always prints 0x39 0000.

Output when it connects to charging:

0x2e 42
0x31 ab
0x2e 42
0x31 bb

When it disconnects:

0x2e 42
0x31 af

Changing MTU to 247 has no effect.

After I fix pairing issues I was able to connect to remote without holding Back and Volume up. It connects immediately after I press any button. But now I have other minor issue: if I stop the program and then quickly start it again it connects to remote and after printing all characteristics if crashes:

If I wait 5 sec before starting it again it works fine.

@superpupervlad Thanks. I should have everything I need now to make it work.

It's weird that you need the L.15-L.21 in bt.py. They only print out the GATT layout. Make sure the remote isn't already connected to the PC when you start the program. You should start the program and then press any key on the remote to make the connection.

A couple more questions:

Is the side key (2000) the Siri key? 1.1. Do you get any other output when pressing or holding this key?
Does this remote have a touchpad (where the circle is)? 2.1. Do you get output when using it?
Do you have any preferences for keys I should map to 1000, 0800, 4000, 0100? (You can ofc just change the code later on).

Notes:

Currently the audio (Siri) isn't working completely (W.I.P).
I will keep the Gen 3 support in another branch for now, because I have major changes I'm testing.
I don't have a lot of time currently, because of an exam (21.9). After this I'm planning to work more on this project.

@Yanndroid

It's weird that you need the L.15-L.21 in bt.py

Some corrections: Without for svc in self.__peripheral.services: (all other lines don't matter) it only prints touchpad coordinates but not physical buttons. Maybe because it uses bluepy's discoverServices and without this line it can't correctly process the click. But I'm not sure at all.

Yes 1.1 Yes, forget to mention it, here is the sample output:

Nope

@superpupervlad I made some changes in the gen-3 branch. Tell me if it works :). (The touchpad might do something completely random)

And, is only the ring touch or also the circle in the middle?

@Yanndroid At first I thought that I broke my bluetooth again because nothing happens after I ran the script. But after some debug I add this line to the end of Device.connect function

self.__peripheral.services

and WOW this works great!

Mute, volume up/down buttons work as they should.
Play/Pause button acts as XF86AudioPlay
Back button acts as XF86AudioPrev
Monitor button acts as XF86AudioNext
Siri button as right click
Power button as XF86ScreenSaver
Up/Down/Left/Right as arrow keys
Center button as left click
Touchpad is also working but was mixed up with audio in the code: 0x003e hid service for touch and 0x0036 hid for audio. Touchpad moving the mouse correctly but sometimes with new touch it flicks cursor to left or right by half of the screen. Both ring and the circle touchable and can recognize 2 fingers (but now it obviously do nothing with 2 fingers).

@superpupervlad Thanks. I added the changes to make it work correctly. For the touchpad I'll take a look another time.

What you can do maybe is uncomment the L.33 in bt.py and see if, while using only one finger, the output is sometimes longer (18 bytes instead of 11). I had the issue that sometimes a second finger is recognized and I removed the fix for this in the gen-3 branch. Another thing you can check is, if you release the finger, the last couple of outputs have zeros towards the end. (Like the samples you gave me). If they do, the cursor shouldn't skip around with new touch.

@Yanndroid I think you misunderstood me about cursor skips. I think it's not related to zeros because they always appear when I release the finger. I record the video with this skips. When I move finger from center to the right side of the circle cursor skips to the left, when I move finger from right side of the circle to the center in skips to the right. Also there is strange skip near the right side when finger turns a circle.

Hello - just wanted to comment that I've just tested your gen-3 branch with a gen2 Siri Remote and that it seems to work exactly the same with it, right down to the skips in @superpupervlad 's video. The skips happen when moving my finger back and forth between the center part of the touchpad and the right side of the outer ring, just as @superpupervlad describes with his gen3 remote.

By the way, it would be super nice if you could update the bit in your README that says the device's MAC should start with 48:A9:1C... I spent an embarrassing amount of time monkeying around with bluetoothctl thinking my remote was faulty before finally figuring out its MAC actually started with 60:BE:C4.

... I don't actually understand why, but I seem to have fixed the touchpad skips like this:

    def __decode_finger(data):
        x = int((data[0] + 255 * (data[1] & 7) - 230) / 15)
        if x < 0:
           x = x + 150
        y = (data[2] if (data[2] & 128) else data[2] + 255) - 188
        p = data[5]
        return x, y, p

@Kate6 sorry for the late reply. I changed the readme according to your suggestion and also added your fix to the code. Thanks.

Question: Will this work with newer Apple TV remotes? #1
