And how do I measure this? Not a (particular) clue. I’d like to help. So tell me detailed what to do and which information you need. ---

@DoctorBazinga Thanks! In the Homey web app you can find it under Settings → General. On that page you’ll find a memory card with the ram usage of all running apps. The Apple TV & HomePod app is probably in the first few apps shown. ---

The normal webapp or the Homey developers website? And should I look while starting a Google TTS + Apple TV & Homepod test flow ir just in general ?? (How realtime are these values?) Black Iphonitis rigorosa : level 15+ ---

Thank you for this app. I was able to add my 2 Apple TV but I am still not able to add my HomePod. I try several time, my HomePd is found but after nothing happen. The version of my HomePod is 26.3. Do you know why I am not able to add my HomePod. ---

@DoctorBazinga The normal web app 🙂 It’s not realtime, but if you check a few seconds after you played something, it should be updated. ---

I want to play the same track/sound to several homepod mini’s as a result of a flow. The track might change but it is always a predetermined one. I currently have a virtual switch that I turn on via a flow, that HK then reacts to to start a HK automation which is to play a specific track. I have a virtual switch and HK automation pair per homepod mini. I have six homepod mini’s. Can the ATV&HP app offer a more elegant solution? ---

Somehow its not working with Google TTS anymore. Last time it really did. Something changed (in the software version of the app since my 1 st post about google TTS with it ? ![IMG_8373](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/9/c991e5611270cd1da1efac135cdc3644b598fba5.jpeg) ![IMG_8374](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/4/04f599f8cbf58f3da332c4dbb8cde725e4f18dca.jpeg) ---

Fixed it! Somehow I needed to restart your homey app. But it didn’t show any warning/ red triangle 🔺 that its not working/able to connect to my devices. (Maybe also that’s also why it was so quiet the kast days without any sudden autoplay (in my living room & foyer. In my sleeping room I pulled the power plug on my HomePod mini to have a goodnight sleep). ---

I just did/looked at it and the memory use almost doesn’t change. From 77.32 MB before playing the Google TTS to my 3 HomePod mini’s to 78.58 MB just after few seconds it was played on the normal webapp of Homey. On the Homey developpers website (tools.developer.homey.app) its 129.9MB → 133.3MB →124.7MB Memory (RSS) And 78.9MB → 82.3MB → 73.8 MB Memory (PSS) Values: Before Test → Duration of the Test → few seconds after the end of the test/playing audio/speech But on the Homey developpers website I can see some graphs for your app before, during and after the start of a test flow using GoogleTTS with your app before: ![IMG_8375](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/6/56e16e2a2c720a5f6eb9c8b8079b3fbe29d905fc.jpeg) ![IMG_8382](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/d/4df6ae2c72fc57f8450268250a51d88ab4fd1b82.jpeg) ![IMG_8381](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/4/14fe1dabac961e2179a39ed80beb1b9c968fadec.jpeg) ![IMG_8380](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/0/107299681843e8f668ed8dc645a12e78f7dd6a22.jpeg) ![IMG_8379](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/8/780f016c1ac393c33dc065cab71fb788080ac56f.jpeg) ![IMG_8378](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/d/1de5df45c0c0dec34747951c615673c07577c74b.jpeg) ![IMG_8377](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/f/dff8595e6be463e7da051340a8fcd9e591a3b8b9.jpeg) ![IMG_8376](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/e/1e2aa293333fc6919d0a712680258ebd92b59fb8.jpeg) Just curious: Why don’t you test it yourself?? ---

@DoctorBazinga I do ofcourse test this app myself, that’s how I know that the app uses a lot of memory 🙂 I also know that based on usage of other users, and even between my three Homey Pro’s, memory usage can differ a lot, that’s why I asked. Even different kinds of audio files may give very different results, so just trying to get a general picture of everything. Thanks for the data, helps a lot ---

This was really not meant disrespectful! Not at all and very far away from it. But in my opinion this usage of the Apple TV & HomePods app in combination with the Google Services/ TTS could be (in the future) one of the most popular usage overall or at least the url possibility of the app. So I was really curious and little bit surprised that @BasMilius didn’t try to test it himself. But as you also see I provided the requested data. 📈 📉. ---

Bas, The issue had disappeared for a while, but it has now returned. The Apple TV & HomePod app is again frequently losing its connection to the Apple TV en we get a red triangle. 17621afe-ef1c-4a35-b0da-ba270823402d ---

@Remco_Dekker Seems to be the companion link protocol. That protocol dynamically changes it port randomly and I don’t get port updates in the app using mDNS discovery. I have tried doing device discovery myself, which works outside the Homey environment, but that didn’t work on an actual Homey. I created an issue in the Homey SDK Issues repository but haven’t received any update yet. For now… I can only say, restart the Apple TV & HomePod app until your Apple TV(s) decides to hold on to a port for a while. I’m actively looking to other solutions 🙂 ---

Couldn’t this shaky/dynamicly changinmg port /protocol be the cause that sometimes its faulty (re)imprenteted as a “start play” or “unpause”command by the HomePod (mini’s) and so start the sudden autoplay bug I’m sometimes experiecing. but I must say it occurs now fewer time on mi Homepods Mini in the living room. The HomePod mini is cuurently disconmnected from power to ensure a goodnight sleep for me. Just a thought . 🤷 ---
