Multiple ATVs

[UKenGB]

I see no allowance for having multiple ATVs in this setup. I have 6 for which I want to be able to detect state (ON or OFF, i.e. awake or asleep), to use as a HomeKit trigger. Is that possible using this method?

Yes, but for each AppleTV you should create a slightly altered config and script

Script

create a copy of appletv_control.sh for each AppleTV you want to detect the state of appletv_control_1.sh appletv_control_2.sh open each script in your favorite text-editor and replace (on both line 47 & line 132) "ATV Power" with "ATV_1 Power" "ATV Power" with "ATV_2 Power" Don't forget to make these files executable

Config

create a copy of the accessory for each AppleTV you want to detect the state of for the first accessory you change displayName & state_cmd (add _1) "displayName": "ATV Power", to "displayName": "ATV_1 Power", "state_cmd": "bash /var/lib/homebridge/appletv_control.sh" to "state_cmd": "bash /var/lib/homebridge/appletv_1_control.sh"

for the second accessory you change displayName & state_cmd (add _2) "displayName": "ATV Power", to "displayName": "ATV_2 Power", "state_cmd": "bash /var/lib/homebridge/appletv_control.sh" to "state_cmd": "bash /var/lib/homebridge/appletv_2_control.sh"
