"Not supported"

Open Metatropics opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

If installing with "showSwitch": false, the speakers show "Not Supported" under the name/status. I'm trying with a A1392 FW 7.8.1 (Airplay 2). Any suggestions?

This is because Apple Home App does not support this accessory type. It has to be changed by Apple.

So are you saying they stopped supporting the entire smart speaker service & categories?

As far as I've looked into it it seems to be a matter of a missing valid accessory.category and exposing as external.

There are a number of services that are supposed to be part of an accessory, and the Smart Speaker Service is one of them. Send feedback to Apple if you want it any other way. That's how I understand it. I may be wrong. Feel free to experiment.
