+1 same thing here, integration will randomly stop working until I restart it.

[Pristavkin]

Same story. Docker installation of the Core 2024.9.3

[Pristavkin]

Added the "Home Assistant Core Integration: Reload config entry" action to my 'Watch TV' automation. It works, but it's definitely a hack and a workaround.

action:
#... skipped steps ...
  - action: homeassistant.reload_config_entry
    metadata: {}
    data: {}
    target:
      device_id: # long device_id here. Set it up from UI

+1 Same issue here Core 2024.11.3 (HAOS): AppleTV won’t reconnect after ATV reboot. I have t restart the integration.

[Pristavkin]

This issue is still here in Core 2024.12.1 (HAOS). Still need to reboot from the watch tv automation.
