As @ChrisG already said: you probably need to use Home Assistant with its [Apple TV integration](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/apple_tv/) if you want to be able to do that. Homey doesn’t have such an integration. ---

The Apple TV integration creates the media player entities. ---

> [@Paulo\_Dias](#): > > Does it mean that I need to setup a homeassistant instance? Yes, you need a Home-Assistant server, including the Music-Assistant plug-in It looks like this for me: Apple Music \> Plex server (Docker) \> Music-Assistant plug-in (Home-Assistant server) \> Home Assistant Community app (Homey) ---

Thanks, but it will not work for me anymore as I moved away from the setup. I just want to have a single system. A bit disappointed, but it is what it is. ---

I use a HomePod in combination with homey as well: 1. HomeyKit installed on homey to control light/heating devices etc through HomeKit (e.g. on HomePod mini) 2. Srii shortcuts van be used to trigger flows in homey e.g. to group old non AirPlay Sonos speakers with AirPlay enabled speakers. 3. Music control is directly done on the HomePod ---

I’m using HomePod mini’s with siri to control zigbee devices that can be displayed in apple home app. For more complicated flow’s or unsupported devices, I use Siri shortcuts to start homey flow’s Now I would like to log the temperature and humidity measurements of the HomePod mini’s in homey pro. Does anyone has a suggestion how to do this? ---

Same for me @Eastmaster. And I want to add: I would like the HomePod mini to say things based on Homey flow. For example: The oven (which is connected to Homey) is done \> Create a card that checks which room has a person with the Aqara FP2 \> make the HomePod in that room say: “Food is ready.” ---

I was having the same problem and were looking for an easy way to control my HomePods in Homey. Therefore I created a Homey app for Music Assistant, directly integrated into Homey. Makes it quite easy to control my HomePods in Homey. [Music Assistant | Homey](https://homey.app/en-be/app/com.cyrilhendriks.musicassistant/Music-Assistant/)
