Any Progress? ETA?

I really want to test your plugin :)

[lprhodes]

Not yet sorry! It’s been a really busy couple of weeks. I’ll have some time after this weekend.

Keep us updated,... I wonder how you going to do this. As the ATV can't use wifi information this means a RaPi would need BT/IR

[lprhodes]

I shall - a few things have come up work wise sorry

There’s a wifi protocol

Do you have some more information about the Wifi Protocol - as I can't find any.

@lprhodes - i've got some questions about your apple script plugin but there is no issue tab on the GitHub page

[deadbone]

I think we all must let him work on this plugin and be patient :-))

[kapps7]

Use the force Luke ;)

[usmcguy]

I wanted to check in on the status.

You're aware of this right? https://github.com/jeanregisser/mediaremotetv-protocol

Its probably best to create a separate NPM for a generic mediaremotetv library, that way it might see contributions from other parties.

[lprhodes]

Hey - yeah I'm aware of that.

The problem is that there's no way of getting a valid pairing key outside of using Wireshark to find it when pairing an official remote. That's a pretty high price of entrance for most trying to use this plugin.

I'm leaning towards adding Apple TV support to homebridge-broadlink-rm which uses IR to achieve the same result.

Ah, I see.. Could almost be easier to control it via the TV then.. I already have the Sony TV "embedded" through HTTP and it can control the AppleTV via HDMI.

[lprhodes]

Interesting - the HDMI interface allows control of left, right, etc?

Yep. left, right, up, down, ok, back (and I think even the "color keys" but they don't do anything in the AppleTV)

Most users would have setup the Apple TV with a home theatre. In other words CEC would be enabled in the amp and off on the TV. Unless the navigation controls are executable via the amp, I see limited application.

[lprhodes]

Why most users?

Yeah, I guess users who like to hassle with "home theaters" know how to tell their receiver to route those signals through. People these days like to use AirPlay and whatnot, active systems directly connected to their TV or AppleTV via S/P DIF are also wide-spread.

[lprhodes]

I'd imagine the most users would simply have their Apple TV hooked up to their TV with nothing else connected.

CEC doesn't look to be something I can generically tap into without having brand and tv specific interfaces so that's out for the purpose of this plugin.

While IR would be the easiest, bluetooth could be an option

[mprajsler]

Hi and are we able to turn apple TV to sleep via IR command? As of now I need to hold TV icon on siri remote for about 2 sec and then confirm sleep via touchpad... This will turn off my TV and Amp as well

[cariacou]

This would be a fantastic plugin!

Initial release is out
