From my limited understanding, you won't see it in HomeKit but you should see it in Remotes
Hello, the device does not appear automatically, you have to:
From here you will turn on the TV and choose the source from the home application, but you will control the volume from the cell phone remote control

I have a broad link rm4 mini and it seems to have no problem connecting with HomeKit as the learn and scan frequency buttons work but when I map the remote buttons and add everything to the json config file and then reboot and then go into the home app, the accessory doesn't show up. I dont think anything is wrong with my config file but I can send it if need be.
I was also thinking that maybe this is happening because the rm4 mini device was already setup in the broad link app and it has to be a fresh install? But then again HomeKit is connected to this device so I dont think that is the issue either.

Hello, the device does not appear automatically, you have to:
Add a device in the home app
Select "device not found"
The TV accessory will appear
You select it and read the HomeBridge QR code.

Hello. After doing this it still doesn't appear. Is there something I'm supposed to do to link the plugin to my actual tv? All I did was map hex codes that I got from my BroadLink rm4 mini but is there something else I'm supposed to do?
I have the HOSTS configuration on BROADLINK platform like this (I have 5 rm4 mini):
"hosts": [ { "address": "10.0.0.20", "mac": "MAC_ADDRESS", "isRFSupported": false, "isRM4": true }, { "address": "10.0.0.21", "mac": "MAC_ADDRESS", "isRFSupported": false, "isRM4": true }, { "address": "10.0.0.22", "mac": "MAC_ADDRESS", "isRFSupported": false, "isRM4": true }, { "address": "10.0.0.23", "mac": "MAC_ADDRESS", "isRFSupported": false, "isRM4": true }, { "address": "10.0.0.24", "mac": "MAC_ADDRESS", "isRFSupported": false, "isRM4": true }
I have the ACCESORY configuration like this (host MUST be the rm4 mini accord to hosts configuration):
{ "name": "TV Comedor", "type": "tv", "host": "10.0.0.21", "data": { "on": "HEX_CODE", "off": "HEX_CODE", "remote": { "select": "HEX_CODE", "back": "HEX_CODE", "exit": "HEX_CODE", "info": "HEX_CODE", "arrowUp": "HEX_CODE", "arrowDown": "HEX_CODE", "arrowLeft": "HEX_CODE", "arrowRight": "HEX_CODE", "playPause": "HEX_CODE" }, "volume": { "up": "HEX_CODE", "down": "HEX_CODE" }, "inputs": [ { "name": "Apple TV", "type": "hdmi", "data": "HEX_CODE" } ] } }

Okay and just to clarify the MAC address and up address you get from the rm4 mini correct? That's what I was doing I just wanted to make sure. But I think my issue is that for the tv I didn't put "host" with the 4 mini ip address. When I get off work I'm gonna try that later
