IP control of Apple TV 4 through ISY possible?

[ahwman]

I'd like to be able to send TCP IP commands to my Apple TV 4's via my ISY994. I currently have this ability through iRule which uses its own gateway and works very well. Just wondering if anyone has found a way to accomplish this through an ISY?

 

Thanks,

Chuck

I too have been looking for the commands but no success.

Probably not.

 

It's too complex for the Network Module. First thing you will have to get past is Pairing, which requires a two-way exchange.

 

There's a GitHub project that has reverse-engineered the control protocol:

Somebody has figured out a Hillbilly solution to avoid pairing - capture a uuid and then use it to mock your already-paired iPhone. There would probably be issues if you try to use the iPhone remote at the same time.

I think a job for an external computer, Raspberry Pi, etc. Or specific ISY support.

 

Better to just use IR.

Gateway? Do you have to run something on an external computer?

 

I use SimpleControl on iPhone/iPad. It don't need no stinkin' gateway!

There is nothing external to run. The term gateway is simply used in iRule to create an IP connection between devices over HTTP/TCP... That said, it is a very elegant and reliable implementation, however I wish to mimic this ability through my ISY.

I hear you. The only issue with using IR is that I can't duplicate the long "Menu" press which takes you back to the home screen...
