ahwman Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 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

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

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: https://github.com/jeanregisser/mediaremotetv-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. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35355807/has-anyone-reversed-engineered-the-protocol-used-by-apples-ios-remote-app-for-c I think a job for an external computer, Raspberry Pi, etc. Or specific ISY support. Better to just use IR.

Do you have to run something on an external computer? I use SimpleControl on iPhone/iPad. It don't need no stinkin' gateway!

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.

Better to just use IR. 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...
