Does the plugin support TV remote in control centre?

Open maisun opened this issue 5 years ago • 5 comments

Hi, Thanks for the great work, the plugin works great with Home app, I can change inputs and turn on/off w/o problem. However I couldn't seem to find the remote in control centre, is it even supported? I do have another HomeBridge plugin for Harmony that gives me a TV remote in control centre, so it is supported by HomeBridge.

It was working when 12.2 was in beta. I haven't tested it since 12.2 was released

Ok, thanks! After restart I now can see the remote for Sony TV, but Harmony is gone!!! Does HomeBridge or iOS 12.2 have some limitation that only allows one TV per bridge instance?

Not sure. I only have 1 TV so I'm unable to try it.

Hi again, After some search I found some discussion on the issue, looks like HomeKit only allows one TV per hub. See discussion here: https://github.com/nicoduj/homebridge-harmony/issues/54 And it looks like there will be a new API for TV service in HomeBridge 0.4.48, which should solve the Appreciate if you could consider the change, thanks in advance!

@maisun I have 3 TV's in HOmebridge, 2 of them being Sony. The first TV (Non Sony) works instantly, the Sony ones stay on Updating for a long time, and then will say "No Response" and after it refreshes again it will show the status or Poll an old status. May have to try a software update on my Tv's later Will report back. Also It worked for me in control centre when I tested it a while ago will also try that.
