The `apple_tv` platform allows you to control an Apple TV (3rd and 4th generation).
|
||||
|
||||
<p class='note'>
|
||||
Currently you must have Home Sharing enabled for this to work. Support for pairing Home Assistant
|
||||
with your device will be supported in a later released.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to automatically discover new devices, just make sure you have ``discovery:``in
|
||||
your ``configuration.yaml``. To manually add an Apple TV to your installation, add the following
|
||||
to your configuration file:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
||||
media_player:
|
||||
- platform: apple_tv
|
||||
host: IP_ADDRESS
|
||||
login_id: LOGIN_ID
|
||||
name: NAME
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration variables:
|
||||
|
||||
- **host** (*Required*): The IP-address of the device
|
||||
- **login_id** (*Required*): An identifier used to login to the device, see below
|
||||
- **name** (*Optional*): The name of the device used in the frontend
|
||||
|
||||
In order to connect to the device you need a *login id*. The easiest way to obtain this identifier
|
||||
is to use the application ``atvremote``. It should be available in the same environment as you
|
||||
installed Home-Assistant. Just run it like this to scan for all devices (try again if a device
|
||||
is missing):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ atvremote scan
|
||||
Found Apple TVs:
|
||||
- Apple TV at 10.0.10.22 (login id: 00000000-1234-5678-9012-345678901234)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Just copy and paste the login id from the device you want to add. For more details about
|
||||
atvremote, see: [this page](https://github.com/postlund/pyatv/blob/master/docs/atvremote.rst).
