How to use the TV/Home button #18

Closed oscarcamachom closed 6 years ago

oscarcamachom commented 6 years ago

Hi, is there any way to use the TV/Home button with this plugin? With the Play/Pause button it sometimes do not turn on my TV depending if the Apple TV was already on or just playing music through the AVR with the TV off, instead the TV/Home button always send the HDMI signal to turn on the TV and change the input.

Strange. My AppleTV always insists on taking control if I play/pause.

Unfortunately I don’t know if its possible to simulate the TV Button.

Looks like menu, topmenu, and select are available through DAAP.

I plan to add this feature in 0.9.0. Stay tuned.

grover commented 6 years ago

Done in https://github.com/grover/homebridge-dacp/releases/tag/v0.9.0

I’m not able to get this working with 0.9. Both the regular and alternate options don’t show any of the input options in Eve or Home apps. I tried unpairing and re-pairing, removing all other features, etc. Anything else I should try?

Is the new topmenubutton another name for the Home button ?

grover commented 6 years ago

@stephenwoodford could you please open a new issue with your config for it? I’ll help you get it running.

@kapps7 topmenu is the official name of the TV button on the top right of the Apple TV 4 and later remote controls.
