Hi all, I’m new here, just have my homey pro for a week, and man, I love this device! But… Ive been searching the forum and the internet but I really could not find the answer. I have an LG tv, Denon receiver and Apple TV 4K newest model. What I want to accomplish is when I pauze my Apple TV the lights dim to a higher brightness and when I push play the lights dim to lower brightness, by using my Apple TV remote. My accomplishments so far: My lights dim when I turn on the tv. But that works via LG’s webos and not via Apple TV. I can do exactly what I want when I use my iPhone to pause or play Apple TV using Siri Shortcuts that starts a homey pro flow, but thats not working when I use my Apple TV remote. Is there anyway to do this? In my opinion it could be a really simple thing but maybe because of apple’s closed ecosystem it isn’t? Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance!

Sorry, saw only the first post, but!!! Wooowwwww, i installed it and it worked from test 1, AppleTV pause, the lights are changing to a brighter scene, play, and dims back, thank youuuu soooo much!!! This is what i was looking for all this time, dont know how you did it but its amazing amazing amazing!

If the power (denon) changes And - the power is less then … Watt (denon) - the lg tv is on Then start flow to brighten the lights

Yeah I get that. But then the same would happen when I mute for example. Besides that I tested the receiver but the power down is not instant or at all. Everything is hooked up via ARC. So I can turn on all the devices using Apple TV remote. That’s working via hdmi. I also have a Philips hue play between it so maybe that’s picking up the signal is I pause?

When homey sees a difference at the Hue Play then could that maybe a trigger. I am looking arround in my setup: LG tv, Apple TV, BlueSound but didn’t find anything (yet). Maybe in future the app homekit controller is an option???

Yeah that’s what I’m saying. I have to figure that out. Ok cool setup. Also linked via ARC? Bluesound is amazing. I’m little jealous :blush: I just wanna thank you for your help and time so far! Are you not looking for a similar setup? For me it would be awesome to accomplish this

Yes via ARC. We need to keep an eye on the app homekit controller, the first development was for the Aqara FP2 but i follow it and the app developer wants to get more homekit acc. to Homey. Maybe thats the way to go….

Ok, thanks we keep an eye out for that, thanks again. In the meantime I will try to find an other solution

Hello, I’m also interested in making an automation like this. Is there any news? Thank you.

There is a workaround if you’re running homebridge or home assistant; [This home automation is BETTER than anything out there!] I’m already running homebridge so I will try this in the upcoming days; [image] homebridge-appletv-enhanced Plugin that exposes the Apple TV to HomeKit with much richer features than the vanilla Apple TV implementation of HomeKit.. Latest version: 1.2.1, last published: 4 days ago. Start using homebridge-appletv-enhanced in your project by running `npm i... ( Apple TV > Homebridge > Homekit > Homekitty > Homey )

I’ve got this working through the home assistant app. Homey now sees the Apple TV and I have my Govee lights changing scenes depending on play pause and even changing to music mode when I select the Apple Music app.

Hi Michael, Thats so amazing. Can you please explain how you did it?
