The apple_tv platform allows you to control an Apple TV (3rd and 4th generation).
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 release.
If you want to automatically discover new devices, just make sure you have discovery: in your configuration.yaml file. To manually add an Apple TV to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
- platform: apple_tv
host: IP_ADDRESS
login_id: LOGIN_ID
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. To install this utility, run pip3 install --upgrade pyatv. The run atvremote 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.
