"inputs" show up as separate tiles; "volume" controls not seen in HomeKit #51

I love that this plugin exists! I can get the power on/off working correctly and the TV icon shows up in my HomeKit app, however, I can't get volume and inputs to work:

• Volume buttons don't appear anywhere in the app; the TV tile simply has a power on / off button + state • Inputs show up as tiles rather than an input dropdown

I admit that I'm running iOS 14, but I am also guessing that I either have the syntax wrong or I'm missing something. Any thoughts?

If it helps, I've had to restart the Home app on both MacOS and iOS for it to pickup that the inputs aren't separate tiles.

Not sure about the volume controls - still looking at what they are for

dresken commented 4 years ago

Found out that "Volume Controls" are used in the Control Center Remote (https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/apple-tv-remote-ios-11-control-center/) - but it's not an on screen button - but you use the physical volume buttons while the remote is on screen

Omg! I hadn't seen that before. That's incredible.

I don't really have menu controls to navigate, but since I had been previously using four remotes:

Projector Screen Speaker Apple TV

And can do it all from my phone or Siri commands, it's pretty incredible!

Now, if I can only find that damned Siri remote in the couch cushions that's been missing for three months …image
