Airport Express is discovered, but cannot be paired.

[autoneub]

What do you need help with?

Using Home Assistant 2021.12.1 Supervised in VM running on Mac Mini 2012 macOS 10.13.6 Apple TV Beta integration v2.2.0 via HACS My Gen 2 Airport Express is discovered, but cannot pair. First attempt was RAOP issue Now this...

The APX has no password set for connecting via AirPlay. I checked the logs directly after attempting and nothing showed.

Any help you could provide would be appreciated. Thank you for such an incredible integration by the way.

You need to open the Home app, go to home settings and allow anyone on the same network to connect to speakers and televisions. That should solve the problem.

[autoneub]

Thank you for such a speedy response. I currently already have that set. I didn't mention, but I also have a couple HomePod minis that paired without issue. Any other thoughts?

[postlund]

Hmm, that's strange. Is the AirPort standalone or added to your home? It would help if you could provide some scan log for me with atvremote scan. You need pyatv installed first and if you have docker set up anywhere, it's easiest to use that. You have some instructions here:

It's in my "Home" app. I don't have docker setup but I will try it in a virtual environment and get back to you with scan logs. Thanks!

[postlund]

Great! I've changed my mind, atvremote --debug scan would give me more to work with.

[postlund]

Did you manage to get any debug logs?

[autoneub]

Shoot no. Sorry. My workload has picked up a bit so i haven’t had much time the last couple weeks. Hopefully next week I’ll have some downtime.

I tried to remove the device password in the airport utility, but it wouldn't let me update it without a password in the field. There is no airplay password required. (this is the device password to change settings).

[postlund]

Yeah, I think this is a flag parsing error on my end. If you try for instance atvremote -s 192.168.1.133 stream_file=https://file-examples-com.github.io/uploads/2017/11/file_example_MP3_1MG.mp3, does that work?

[autoneub]

so I apologize as I'm not super fluent in command line or linux. I installed atvremote via the terminal in my mac mini - the scan sent back the info above. So I just pasted your above command into the terminal and got this back...

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

If this was the incorrect thing to do, please let me know what I can do differently. I don't have docker running so I can't help in that way. Also this isn't a huge deal and I may not be educated enough in this field to even help you. I appreciate your patience.

[autoneub]

Okay so I'm not sure if you did anything on your end, but today the airport express was autodiscovered (even though I had been ignoring it) so I just tried it and it worked!

APX is now in HA and shows that music is playing.

Thank you for helping me with this and I appreciate your whole appletv integration with HA. So wonderful!
