Feature Request

Would it be possible to create an option that create a second "virtual" doorbell for tvOS automation?

Description

Create an option that creates a second "virtual" doorbell for tvOS automation.

Describe the solution you'd like

I like seeing the motion events on my Apple TV, but the chime is pretty annoying. A "virtual" doorbell that's only used for tvOS would solve this:

Describe alternatives you've considered

Playing around with notification setting in the various apps, but nothing is really what I want

@hipstersmoothie I can understand where you are coming from with this request, but this feature isn't something I want to invest any more time in. The simple fact is that Apple should be adding this feature to TvOS, rather than homebridge plugins hacking around their current limitations. I think it's a good feature for them to add, and I recommend you submit that feedback to them.

That's a void I'd rather not shout into 😅 Would you accept a PR for this?

Actually look like this should be added in the next release
