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.

## {% 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).
## Notes and Limitations
- Pairing is currently not supported
