I can’t connect new devices. Diagnostic report eb12c7ab-250e-4368-9f02-fcce196ac8e6. Can you tell me what the problem might be? Thanks in advance.

How do I play a specific song or playlist form apple music? Also, are there any provisions for text-to-speech via the HomePods?

I figured out how to get the song to play, I added a repeat card to have the song repeat, when I ran the flow, I got an error and the card is no longer available. How do I set a song to repeat?

Hi Bas

I noticed this evening after updating to TV OS 26.5 that my connections had dropped and rebooting the app did not restore the connection. One of my 3 TVs wasn’t updated and maintains its connection.

@MartinSM Unfortunately not. The protocols I’m using for this do not expose these sensors. Supporting that would require anyone who wants it to extract pairing / cryptography keys from their mac and that is not something I would do.

Hello, I really want to use this integrate but for whatever reason I can’t seem to have it find my Apple TV. I’m using the latest release the homey self hosted server running docker on my TrueNAS server, and using the latest ATV 4k w/ Ethernet on the latest tvOS version. Furthermore, they are both hardwired. Any help would be greatly appreciated. So far I have tried, restarted the app, restarting the homey containers, reinstalling the app, and restarting my Apple TV.

Apologies for not including that in my initial message, but yes I tried all three settings just for the sake of testing and it still didn’t show up. I also tried other Apple TVs in my home and it still couldn’t find them.

## Thank you!

The Apple TV & HomePod app surpassed 5000 installs a little over a week ago and currently sits at ~5100 installs.

With the release of the 27.0 OS releases of Apple, I immediately went into detective mode to see if any features were added or changed to AirPlay and Companion Link. Happy to say that at this moment, everything seems to work fine! There are some new features, but those are mainly related to the new Siri that won’t be available in the EU.

Still can’t add HomePod minis here. Did a fresh install of the app this morning and tried to add a HomePod mini. The minis get discovered fine but then the add step gets stuck loading and eventually (several minutes later) times out. I sent a diagnostic: e3c4704a-6f8a-4b39-9762-eb1db6bf40b1

@Harry_Leung For some reason your HomePods are rejecting the pairing request, it’s the first request that my app makes to your device and that fails.

This could either mean that you’ve configured it this way or that your HomePods are not up to date.

I appear to have the same problem as described here (diagnostic f31f0e78-f0d0-4513-97dd-4ed14f3c6a8e). I also see the mini twice on the discovery screen. Did you have any luck getting it to work?
