homebridge-cmd-television's Introduction

Homebridge Apple TV command plugin, using pyatv to control your Apple TV

Installation

Install homebridge
Install pyatv pip3 install pyatv
Scan for your Apple TV devices atvremote scan
Authenticate pyatv with your Apple TV, and record the companion credential to a file atvremote -s 192.168.1.10 --protocol companion pair. Please use the IP address of your Apple TV, and put the output into this file ~/.homebridge/atv_companion.cred
Authenticate pyatv with your Apple TV, and record the airplay credential to a file atvremote -s 192.168.1.10 --protocol airplay pair. Please use the IP address of your Apple TV, and put the output into this file ~/.homebridge/atv_airplay.cred
Install this plugin using: sudo npm i -g https://github.com/NorthernMan54/homebridge-cmd-television
Configure accessory (See configuration sample) Thats it! Now when you turn the television on or switch the input to another source it will run the command set in the config.

Configuration

Configuration sample:

"accessories": [
 {
   "accessory": "cmd-television",
   "name": "Main Room TV",
   "oncmd": "atvremote --id 08:66:98:D4:CF:79 --airplay-credentials `cat ~/.homebridge/atv_airplay.cred` --companion-credentials `cat ~/.homebridge/atv_companion.cred` turn_on",
   "offcmd": "atvremote --id 08:66:98:D4:CF:79 --airplay-credentials `cat ~/.homebridge/atv_airplay.cred` --companion-credentials `cat ~/.homebridge/atv_companion.cred` turn_off",
   "pausecmd": "atvremote --id 08:66:98:D4:CF:79 --airplay-credentials `cat ~/.homebridge/atv_airplay.cred` --companion-credentials `cat ~/.homebridge/atv_companion.cred` pause",
   "playcmd": "atvremote --id 08:66:98:D4:CF:79 --airplay-credentials `cat ~/.homebridge/atv_airplay.cred` --companion-credentials `cat ~/.homebridge/atv_companion.cred` play",
   "powerstatecmd": "atvremote --id 08:66:98:D4:CF:79 --airplay-credentials `cat ~/.homebridge/atv_airplay.cred` --companion-credentials `cat ~/.homebridge/atv_companion.cred` power_state"
 }
]

Using with a Synology Docker Installation

Homebridge can be installed on Synology NAS devices, via a Docker container.

When using this plugin with a Synology installation, installation requires additional and altered steps.

Notably, the Synology container only persists the /homebridge path. In order for this plugin to persist across container restarts, it and its dependencies will need to be installed to this path. In turn, two items in the default container configuration must also be changed.

Altered Synology Installation Instructions

First, stop the Homebridge container on the Synology if it is already running. Launch the "Docker" application, and switch to the "Container" page. Power off the container.

Once stopped, edit the Homebridge container. Switch to the "Environment" tab. Modify the "PATH" variable to append an aditional directory at the end: /homebridge/python/bin. Then, add a new variable: "PYTHONPATH"; its value should be /homebridge/python. Power the container on again.

Once the container is running, navigate and log in to the Homebridge UI. Launch a Homebridge Terminal from the upper-right drop-down menu. Then, run the following commands:

mkdir /homebridge/python
apk add gcc openssh python3-dev rust
pip3 install --upgrade pip
pip3 install --target /homebridge/python cryptography
pip3 install --target /homebridge/python pyatv
npm config set ssl-strict=false
npm i --prefix /homebridge https://github.com/NorthernMan54/homebridge-cmd-television

Voila! homebridge-cmd-television and its dependencies are now installed in /homebridge, and should persist through container restarts.

You can now create a configuration and credentials file by following the instructions in the "Installation" section above. Make sure they are placed inside /homebridge.

homebridge-cmd-television's Issues

Timer to poll status and update HomeKit more frequently?

I was trying to add a timer into this plugin to run getPowerState every every X seconds so that HomeKit is updated more frequently. I am making some Automations based on the status of this accessory, and currently the status only updates when the Home app is opened.

I am not that proficient in coding these types of devices, and I was able to add in a setTimeout (I read SetInterval could backup and cause too many calls) but after the first loop I am getting a crash. Can someone help identify the best place to add this?

If successful, I would like to recommend an option be added into the config to set this status check, or I can fork the code.

Synology container more complicated than I realized

Hola! Couldn't figure out your email from GitHub, so I figured I'd go this route :)

The good news is that the Synology instructions I gave before are still "true"

The bad news is that their utility is limited without modification. The Synology container only persists /homebridge; the rest of the filesystem is part of the container. This means that when you install things like pip modules, they are lost when the container restarts, because they are installed to /usr and don't persist.

If you want your plugin and atvremote installations to persist, it's probably better use the following, revised steps. Note that they require (easy) modification of the container itself:

Homebridge Terminal:

apk add gcc openssh python3-dev rust
pip3 install --upgrade pip
pip3 install --target /homebridge/python cryptography
pip3 install --target /homebridge/python pyatv
atvremote scan
atvremote -s --protocol companion pair
npm config set ssl-strict=false
npm i --prefix /homebridge https://github.com/NorthernMan54/homebridge-cmd-television

(Your apk packages and pip upgrade will not persist, but they don't need to. Also, I don't think the wheel installation is needed in my recent testing)

Synology side:

Open the Synology "Docker" application
Switch to the "Container" page
Stop the homebridge container
Edit the homebridge container
Switch to the "Environment" tab
Modify "PATH" to append an entry for /homebridge/python/bin
Add a new variable "PYTHONPATH"; its value should be /homebridge/python

Hope this helps!

icon in Home app shows as 'home' instead of 'television'

Everything is working great, this is purely cosmetic. In the Home app I'm unable to change the icon shown for the accessory tile, and it is currently represented as a default 'home' or 'house' icon:

I think if the characteristic was configured to be a television, it should be possible to show as a TV, similar to my TCL Roku in the following:

The icon in the middle is my homebridge-cmd-television accessory.

Location of Credential File

I am not a coder but have generally been able to generally figure this process out from following the readme, @justinmm2 process and the pyatv guides. I have narrowed my issue down to one complication, not knowing where to put the atv.cred file and how to access it properly. I followed @justinmm2 process you put in the read me as I am using Homebridge on Synology Docker. Got a pairing and have created the credential file. I tried putting it in a couple of places and can't figure out where it should go. I think it just goes in the root Homebridge folder. My installation seams to be able to find it but I am getting a permission error.

Is the problem known and where is my error?

Do I understand the sample configuration file correctly, that I swap the MAC address with the one of my Apple TV?

No plugin was found for the accessory "cmd-television" in your config.json.

Hello,

I followed the installation steps and paired with Apple tv, however when I restart the homebridge, it shows No plugin was found for the accessory "cmd-television" in your config.json. Please make sure the corresponding plugin is installed correctly.

I run the command

npm i -g https://github.com/NorthernMan54/homebridge-cmd-television

both in Debian root terminal and HomeBridge terminal without any luck.

Regards,
Uni

Pairung works but nothing else

Hey,

I can successfully pair my Apple TV HD (tvOS 15.1.1), get credentials, fill them in file "atv.cred" in the users home folder, but - i.e. - a command like "atvremote -s IP-ADDRESS --airplay-credentials 'cat file' power_state" results in

Error on mac os

Hi,
I'm getting error inside homebridge runs on mac os.
Error is: getPowerState error: Error: Command failed: cat /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/bin/atvremote --id AC:BC:32:6B:E8:FD --airplay-credentials cat ~/.homebridge/atv_airplay.cred--companion-credentialscat ~/.homebridge/atv_companion.cred` power_state
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``'
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
But if i run the same command in mac os terminal it returns the status correctly with no issues.
Sorry, Im too dumb to understand where is the mistake with file end.
Thank you i advance for help!

Config Syntax Error Config contains invalid JSON

Thanks for this, I really appreciate the work that goes into these.

I was following your instruction on how to set this up. I was able to pair it with my AppleTV and get the credentials. When I go to configure it, using your example I get the following Error from Homebridge

Config Syntax Error
Config contains invalid JSON

I have updated the IP address to my AppleTV's I think my issue is that I am not sure on how to edit the credential file? Do I need to do that?

I am running Homebridge on Synology Docker and used the most recent update to the Readme to get it set up.

This is what I have for my config

{
    "accessory": "cmd-television",
    "name": "AppleTV"
    "oncmd": "atvremote -s 192.168.1.3 --airplay-credentials `cat ~/atv.cred` turn_on",
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Keep daemon alive

I've used the plugin for quite a while, thank you for putting this together.

Only thing is that all commands (even state update) take around 7/8 secs to perform, it looks like every time a command is sent, the plugin has to go all over the trouble of re-authenticating again. It there a way to make it faster?

I'm running Raspberry Pi 3 and found this that could be helpful.

postlund/pyatv#649

unable to run altered synology install

mkdir /homebridge/python
apk add gcc openssh python3-dev rust
pip3 install --upgrade pip
pip3 install --target /homebridge/python cryptography
pip3 install --target /homebridge/python pyatv
npm config set ssl-strict=false
npm i --prefix /homebridge https://github.com/NorthernMan54/homebridge-cmd-television

the 2nd command responds with... "bash: apk: command not found" ... did this the first time and it worked months ago, but now it doesn't? stumped

Not for Windows?

I'm running Homebridge on Windows. I was able to get pyatv installed and get the ATV credentials the way you outlined. However, after installing the plugin, Homebridge keeps giving me an error message that it can't load the plugin.

I'm guessing this won't work in Windows? (Or else I'm doing something wrong).

Can you recommend any pyatv plugins that will work in Windows?

Unable to install pyatv on Synology

Hello.

I know that you are not responsible of pyatv but you are the only one that I found that have make it work in a Synology NAS and I have already made my question into all the other repositories.

I have a DS418 without Docker capabilities. Homebridge is installed natively on DSM 7.0.1 and Entware is providing the gcc building tools as per Oznu's instructions. But when I try to install the pyatv package, I get the error log that you can see below. It seems that the builder cannot be executed.

Do you have any ideas or suggestions about what can I try?

how to output creds into specific folder?

Greetings, I'm trying to put the output file on my synology/homebridge directly in the /homebridge folder.

I'm a bit stumped on what to append to 'atvremote -s 192.168.1.10 --protocol companion pair' to get the output to save directly there?

Any help would be appreciated :/

Unable to change room

Aside from the inability to change the icon of the apple tv, i'm also unable to change rooms via the Home app in iOS (changing via Home in macOS works). It keeps reverting back to "Equipment Room" which is where all my new devices start.

TV or not TV

No recent responses on here at all, so not expecting much, but here goes.

What would be the possibility of having an additional config option to control whether the accessory is presented as a TV, or a simple Switch?

A TV accessory looks better, but cannot be accessed in third party HomeKit apps, whereas a switch can. Functionality basically the same in each case.

This is a Homebridge Cmd Television issue really, but maybe a push from here might help?

TV or Apple TV?

I was under the impression that when 'TV' is mentioned in the instructions/Wiki, it actually means Apple TV, but then talks about the command being run 'when changing inputs'. Since an ATV only has a single input, I am now puzzled.

Is this plug-in solely to do with the Apple TV, in which case, why mention changing inputs? Or if it is somehow associated with some other actual TV, then how? I see no reference to any other device.

Some clarification on the above would be appreciated.

Can I assume I can install additional accessories to access multiple Apple TVs? Obviously would need to point to the relevant credentials files.

Question: Can this be used to control Hue lights with Apple TV

How would I configure this plugin to turn on/off my hue lights when I turn my Apple TV on/off? Is that possible or am I misunderstanding what the purpose of this plugin is.

Thanks for the help

Question: Adding a second, third ATV

Great plugin, working flawlessly with 1 ATV but how do I set up for a second ATV?

Can't install homebridge-cmd-television on homebridge pi3

Hi @NorthernMan54
kudos & awesome work and I appreciate your work.

I have Homebridge v1.3.6 running on
*** Homebridge Raspbian v1.0.25 - Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2 ***
and I can now control my AppleTV using the

command... nice, finally we can start the AppleTV with iOS15 again...

yet now I need to get into the homebridge plugin

I tried also using the homebridge-config-ui-x v4.41.2 but there are many homebridge-cmd-television plugins that fail to install...
Any pointers?

cheers

Anyway to do volume up or volume down?

Error: Cannot find module 'request'

Hello @NorthernMan54,

I would like to use your plugin. Thanks for your work!

Unfortunately I run into an error when I set it up your plugin and I can't figure out why. It looks like something is missing from the plugin? I have reinstalled it several times.

Attached is an excerpt from the log and my config.json.

I hope you can help me further?
Thank you!

e further?

I'm getting the error above and the Home app shows the Apple TV as not connected... any advice on this, stumped? :(

Question: Homebridge Docker

Hi @NorthernMan54,
thank you for this plug-in. Really appreciated!

There is any chance in the future to get homebridge-cmd-television available via oznu/docker-homebridge like your homebridge-alexa plug-in?

Thanks in advance.

Getting architecture error in Homebridge. Is the issue with my Python or my pyatv install or something else?

Hi, ultra noob here but pretty good at following instructions.

Any idea what is wrong with my install? I can get atvremote commands to work in terminal, but keep getting architecture errors in homebridge using the plugin. Thanks for the help.

Doesn't turn on or off

When I try to turn off or on Apple TV from my Home app it does nothing. It is set to HDMI 1 in Home App, but it is actually on HDMI4 (not an option) Is this the issue?
