Apple remote doesn’t show input/power/volume controls

[TreehouseFalcon]

When using the Tizen-connected remote app, there are many buttons missing from Apple TV-based remotes. Attached is a picture of what I’ve seen previously when using the remote with Apple TV and what I see when using it with this plugin. I’m not sure if this is intentional, but it’s inconvenient to use my physical remote to change volume or change source. Any help/response is appreciated.

Apple TV remote layout with full controls:

Tizen plugin remote with limited controls and no ability to return home on the “No Source Found” screen:

Other than this issue, this plugin has worked wonders for me.

Hi @TreehouseFalcon,

Unfortunately Apple don't give us the option to choose which buttons to be available, it only allows us to map the buttons to some action. That layout is a generic one for all TVs that are compatible with HomeKit (even if they are native or through Homebridge).

Is it possible to add a power on/off button to the remote?

Apple don't give us the option to choose which buttons to be available ...

Your only option is to map one button to KEY_POWER if you want, but that will works only for power off since power on uses other method of powering up the tv

I found that sometimes after rebooting Homebridge I also have to restart my phone in order for it to correctly detect all the TV features via the iOS Remote.

I've never had a source option button, but the power button appears & volume is controlled my phones volume buttons.

ie: Here is what the remote looks like for my 2020 45" Frame TV.
