When I create media players and add them to homekit I can grab events from all of the buttons except the volume up/down buttons. Since no homekit events are sent by the volume buttons I cannot assign actions to them using automations. Other integrations work fine using all buttons of the control center remote, just not this one. This makes the volume up/down buttons useless in the control center remote with universal media players.
What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?
core-2024.7.3
What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?
I think homekit remote events just need to be added for the volume up and down so we can map them ourselves with automation, or else just make them always use the volume up/down service defined in the config.
