I observed the same:

But I would stay cool, this is the very first beta, many to come.

Hi , first beta was released yesterday evening , so I had no chance to check for the moment !. From my setup, the icon seems broken but the inputs are still listed and services reported. I will check ASAP, but can you confirm it does not work at all or only a display issue ?

[pascal0906]

for me it workes when i push the button in home app, but when i put some devices in a shortcut, i choose the tv but, shortcuts does not recognize it as a tv accessory

I have checked, as far as I can tell commands including remote are working on IOS 14, only the icon is not good. When setup it sees it is a TV and asks to rename inputs. but like you said, they are not visible in shortcut app. I think the type is not ok, don't know if it is homebridge / hap related or IOS 14 (probably IOS14 !)

Ok, it seems IOS 14 does not like anymore Tv that are bridged. you have to publish them as externalAccessories with this option : publishAllTVAsExternalAccessory

i try this but for me it looks like that in homekit:

any ideas?

You have to remove the old cached accessory (through config UI), and then publish the nnew one as external, and add it manually (not added with the bridge) - same code.

@horst69 was ist das für eine App? Wo Du da alles einstellst.

[pascal0906]

das is die App hier:

https://apps.apple.com/de/app/homemanager-f%C3%BCr-homebridge/id1440396849

kostet zwar, aber ist auf jedenfall hilfreich

Seems ok in beta 2 of iOS 14, and integration in shortcut seems possible again

Seems ok for me in beta4

Hello, just updated from iOS13.7 to iOS14 this morning and I have the issue. Small house icon is displayed for my main Harmony Hub.

You have to publish as external accessory, they reverted the changes in final version, nothing I can do about

Hi Nico, do you mean as "otherPlatforms"?

"platforms": [ { "platform": "HarmonyHubWebSocket", "name": "Harmony", "hubIP": "XXX", "TVPlatformMode": true, "mainActivity": "Apple TV Salon", "switchAccessories": false, "devicesToPublishAsAccessoriesSwitch": [ "Apple TV|PlayPause;Play" ], "publishGeneralMuteSwitch": true, "activitiesToPublishAsInputForTVMode": [ "Cable Salon", "Apple TV Salon", "PS3 Salon", "Airplay Salon" ], "otherPlatforms": [ { "name": "Harmony_Chambre", "hubIP": XXX, "TVPlatformMode": true, "mainActivity": "Apple TV Chambre", "switchAccessories": false, "activitiesToPublishAsInputForTVMode": [ "Cable Chambre", "Apple TV Chambre", "PS3 Chambre" ] } ]

Every tv published through a bridge won’t have the correct icon. You must use publishaszxternalacczssories option

Now working, many thanks Nico!
