Like so many others here, I am new to UC and am still trying to figure things out. So maybe I’m just doing something dumb here. I welcome any suggestions here!
I have:
Apple TV, using the native integration
Yamaha receiver, added from Home Assistant as a media player
The Apple TV is configured to control the Yamaha volume using HDMI CEC, so if I use my ATV remote it correctly adjusts the Yamaha volume. But I have 2 issues with my UC remote.
Issue #1: Long press not working
In my UC activity, I mapped the volume buttons (both short and long press) to the Apple TV volume. Both short and long press work, but only increment the volume incrementally. I would expect the long press to send a continuous volume up/down signal. I also tried mapping directly to the Yamaha volume and received the same response.
Issue #2: Slider doesn’t work
When I use the slider, it shows the Apple TV volume being adjusted on the remote screen. But nothing happens with the actual volume level.
Thanks @HarmonyFan ! I will remove the long press!
As far as #2, the Apple TV is in the activity. And the remote thinks it is controlling it. I’m not sure why it is skipping the HDIM-CEC control?
Would the community Yamaha integration be better than porting my HA media player entity? My only concern is (if I understand correctly) that I would have to manually update the integration from time to time when it changes. I would prefer not to have “one more thing” to remember update. Thanks again for all of your help - I appreciate it.
