Didnā€™t have success adding my Apple TV (2017) with the regular version and the 1.6.4 version. See the Apple TV, and then it shows the pin entry screen but the Apple TV never shows a PIN code. Tried restarting the Apple TV and Homey but no dice. Will definitely need to try 1.6.5 later today. ---

Hi @BasMilius, with the new Python version I was able to add the HomePod in just a few seconds. But some seconds later, the HomePod disconnect itself with the message: _Cannot connect to HomePod: Failed to set up remote control channel._ If I restart the app, the HomePod seems to be available for a second and then disconnect again.

I need to figure out if I can hide the volume slider in that case. - Introduced a new Remote widget for Apple TVā€™s. - Connections are more stable now. > **[Apple TV & HomePod | Homey](https://homey.app/en-us/app/com.basmilius.apple/Apple-TV-&-HomePod/test/)** > > Control your Apple devices from your Homey. ---

Iā€˜d lije to help. But still got my same Problems. With Version 1.63 all 3 HomePod minis were unavailable and one Apple TV. The onle AppleTV and HomePod minis in my sleeping being unavailable was right/not an error because the were without power. But the other 2 HomePod minis and the AppleTV with now upgraded to version 1.68 is an error because I can use/reach tem with the Homekit app on my phone. ![image0.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/5/45d29e7a1e59949895437fbfc9802fc6453843b1.jpeg) Black Iphonitis rigorosa : level 15+ ---

@DoctorBazinga There is still some weird behavior with upgrading from the TypeScript version to the new Python based version, I hope that itā€™s fixable eventually. Maybe thatā€™s what youā€™re experiencing nowā€¦ I would ask to re-add one of the devices and see if it works on the new experimental version. And please send another diagnostics report on that new experimental version, lotā€™s of different behavior across all kinds of setups! ---

@BasMilius Youā€™re the best. I just downloaded the latest beta version, and the play and pause feature works. Itā€™s exactly what I needed. Integrating the Apple TV also went smoothly. The PIN entry screen appears right away. Perfect. I canā€™t wait to see what else youā€™ll add. Iā€™ve tested YouTube, Amazon Prime, and Emby. They all work perfectly. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/1/f11c5312123c519f5a46fd39f7eb485f5d3c0db7.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/7/07c7467a811e4c9bd51b66414e0ba6b37bda2508.png) ---

Nice to see that the Python sdk is being put to use now! The now-playing functionality is quite flaky on my device from what it seems and iā€™m not sure what a good troubleshooting step would be. Iā€™ve tried restarting the connection, restarting the app, and all manner of combinations. Iā€™ve tried removing and re-adding the device a couple of times. Unfortunately, after the most recent removal/re-addition, my device is not really being recognized or updated. Report id `d2cdad21-5d7d-4651-a005-4d72dbdc2786` ---

Hei Iā€™m trying to use 1.6.8, I can connect ATV and HomePod mini but after the setup it just shows an error with ā€œnot connectedā€ or ā€œcanā€™t find on networkā€. Worked before upgrading to python. Is there some settings I need to change? Have tried to restart app, homey pro 23 and reinstalling the app. Log: 23bd0589-4d6d-4860-8e61-737b7f1ff7e8 [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-apple-tv-homepod/147663.md?page=18) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-apple-tv-homepod/147663.md?page=20)
