I went digging on the internet, because I found it weird I could control my 2011 Denon receiver with my Homey, but not my 2015 Apple TV. That’s when I found out about “IP drivers”, which basically make it possible to integrate Apple TV control in your cinema-solution. This made me search more, and I found out this company called [firecore](https://support.firecore.com/hc/en-us/articles/215090667-3rd-Party-Control-API-AirControl-beta-) has made a kind of API that can be used to control an apple TV. So my question is, is there any way to fire off a URL from Homey? Basically that you say “Ok homey, Apple TV arrow down” and it fires `http:///remoteAction=4`? I’m going to play with this in my browser when I get home (which will be on Sunday), but in the meantime, it could be cool if we could collectively think of any solutions with this knowledge! ---

You can use this app for HTTP: [https://apps.athom.com/app/com.internet](https://apps.athom.com/app/com.internet) When it comes to integrate Homey control of the Apple TV I think this solution is the better way to go though: [https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-appletv](https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-appletv) ---

Very interested in this! Anyone made any progress in this? And @johan_bendz, how would you see this integrated in homey? ---

Any updates? I want to be able to control the Apple tv so that a spesific app is opened and a certain channel is started.
