Error: cannot find remote inside AppleTV

[arthursoares]

Hello!

I'm running homebridge on a Raspbian and I have an AppleTV 4k. My config file is as follow:

 {
            "platform": "DACP",
            "devices": [
                {
                    "name": "AppleTV",
                    "features": {
                        "no-volume-controls": true
                    }
                }
            ]
        }

I run homebridge and I go to Settings -> Remote and Devices -> Remote App and Devices and I cannot see the AppleTV remote listed there.

Here is what in my log from homebridge.

anyone find a solution? im having the same issue

Hey there! Sadly I feel this project is no longer managed. These days, we use the Homebridge-AppleTV-Remote plugin. (Found here https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-apple-tv-remote) tvOS no longer supports DHCP (as of 13) so this plugin uses the Media Remote Protocol. I also believe this project is dead. So if theater lights and playback control are what you want, this is a good option. It even shows for sleep control and use of its own api.
