Hi-
I think you’ll need to turn debug on in order to see what’s actually happening: Normally, the device will send an initial push of its current state when the binding starts up, but it doesn’t request a change in power status unless a command is sent to the binding and the device is already off. I don’t think there’s a situation where the power status would be changed (from whatever it was) beyond that situation.
Thanks for the great work on this binding and the documentation. I’m very new to OpenHAB and learning something every day. I’ve installed the Apple TV binding and pyatv following the latest links in this thread, however my OpenHAB still can’t find my Apple TV. In the openhab log file I see the following…
2025-11-12 19:57:42.871 [ERROR] [enhab.binding.appletv.internal.PyATV] - Scanning for Apple-TV devices failed!
2025-11-12 19:57:42.873 [INFO ] [ding.appletv.internal.AppleTVHandler] - Apple-TV discovery returned null
2025-11-12 19:57:57.840 [INFO ] [ding.appletv.internal.AppleTVHandler] - Stopping Apple-TV discovery scan
Any ideas how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.
Hi-
Can you describe your openhab installation a bit more? What OS are you using, are you using docker, etc?
If you can go into the directory you installed pyatv into, can you run the command “atvremote scan”? For example, my openhab is in /opt/openhab4:
cd /opt/openhab4/userdata/tmp/appletv-binding
. bin/activate
atvremote scan
Does it see your devices? Let me know and I’ll try to help figure out what’s going wrong.
Bill
hi Bill, i am using it for 30 days right now and i can confirm:
1/ Booting openhab turns on the TV
2/ Sending OFF command to a power state which is OFF sometimes turns the apple tv on (i have a homekit “sleep” scene and the power switch in there (always → OFF)
3/ Maybe you would be so kind and add the app future? i will be gratefull if i can turn on and open an app by default, it should not be so hard to implement it
Hi Bill, thanks for your help and apologies for not including more details in my original post.
I’m running Openhabian 5.0.1 on a Raspberry Pi. Python is installed in a virtual environment. I can run the atvremote scan and see all my devices. Specifically for the Apple TV, I see the following services…
Services:
- Protocol: Companion, Port: 49153, Credentials: None, Requires Password: False, Password: None, Pairing: Mandatory
- Protocol: AirPlay, Port: 7000, Credentials: None, Requires Password: False, Password: None, Pairing: Mandatory
- Protocol: RAOP, Port: 7000, Credentials: None, Requires Password: False, Password: None, Pairing: Mandatory
From within OpenHAB, running a scan still reports the following in the log file…
2025-11-17 17:02:17.175 [ERROR] [enhab.binding.appletv.internal.PyATV] - Scanning for Apple-TV devices failed!

2025-11-17 17:02:32.155 [INFO ] [ding.appletv.internal.AppleTVHandler] - Stopping Apple-TV discovery scan
What else would be helpful for troubleshooting? Thank you!
I have implemented these lifesavers: (using DSL)
All places I turn it off:
if (AppleTVLRPower.state == ON) {
AppleTVLRPower.sendCommand(OFF)
}
Guard rule: (checking if lights are all off, a deconz group)
rule "AppleTV turns on"
when
Item AppleTVLRPower changed to ON
then
val name = "AppleTV"
logInfo(name, "AppleTVLRPower = " + AppleTVLRPower.state)
if (AllButBedroomsAnyOn.state == OFF) {
logInfo(name, "AllButBedroomsAnyOn = " + AllButBedroomsAnyOn.state + " turning off AppleTV again")
AppleTVLRPower.sendCommand(OFF) // turn AppleTV off if turning itself on again
}
end
I don’t see any unwanted power on anymore.
Also, on rare occations when hitting the ‘bed’ button and power off doesn’t work perhaps due to coincide with a
AppleTVCommandLoop: Command process=116785 exited.
The rule will trigger when the command loop recovers and turn the ATV off a few seconds later.
Hi-
Can you turn on debug for the binding and then restart it? That should produce some more useful information about what’s going on…
log:set TRACE org.openhab.binding.appletv
bundle:list |grep pple
bundle:restart bundleIdNumber
I can’t reproduce the behavior you describe in item 1. Is it possible you have something that checks for the status of the appletv? Can you enable debug logging for the binding to see what’s happening? It should print information about each command being sent to the device.
It’s possible that sending a power off command might turn the device on if it’s off, but it should also send an off command immediately after. The reason the device gets turned on is because it will ignore commands sent to it until the device is woken up. It might be possible to catch this particular situation, but if the device power state gets out of sync and is really off when openhab thinks it is on, commands will get silently ignored. Again, debugging output might show what’s going on more clearly.
The binding does support launching an app. Send the app’s identifier to an item that’s linked to the app identifier channel, and that should trigger the app to open. You’ll need to know the app identifier, of course… such as “com.firecore.infuse”.
Thank you, will do. Newbie question, but where do I add this code?
ssh openhab@localhost -p 8101
habopen
sorry, I wasn’t sure if you were familiar with the “karaf” command interface for poking at the internals… nobody likes to be habsplained to haha.
once you’ve changed the logging level and restarted the bundle, you can do a “log:tail” to see logs in real time.
I’m thinking the problem is either a) the scan command isn’t actually running or b) there’s some sort of network strangeness.
All good, I’m here to learn and not yet familiar with karaf. I’ve followed the above instructions and I can see there is an issue attempting to run atvscript. Maybe something isn’t [correctly] installed?
Thanks again for your help and guidance!

Check with ChatGPT (not sure this is the best guide!), and it says…
Great — this log finally shows the root cause.
OpenHAB is not using your pyatv virtualenv, because the Apple TV binding is trying to run:
/var/lib/openhab/tmp/appletv-binding/bin/atvscript
…and that directory does NOT exist.
This means the binding’s embedded PyATV environment never got created, which normally happens automatically when the binding starts — but only if OpenHAB’s environment variables and Python path are correct.
Let’s fix it step-by-step.
The Apple TV binding expects to find:
/var/lib/openhab/tmp/appletv-binding/bin/atvscript
This folder is generated only when the binding successfully runs its Python bootstrap.
Yours is not being created, so the binding falls back to a missing directory → which causes discovery to fail.
The binding could not create its embedded venv
The binding automatically runs:
python3 -m venv /var/lib/openhab/tmp/appletv-binding
But this silently fails when:
Python is wrong version
The binding requires:
Python 3.8 or Python 3.9 ONLY
It is not compatible with Python 3.11 and will fail to build scripts under it.
You are using:
/opt/openhab/pyatv/lib/python3.11
That means the binding CANNOT generate its own working env.
This is the #1 cause of your issue.
But before I blindly following ChatGPT’s guidance, it would be great to hear from real experts! Is this the source of my issue or is something else going on? Thanks!
Hi-
Yeah, there are a few incorrect points (but a valiant effort?)… It is correct that the pyatv commands are not where openhab is expecting them to be. The long term goal is for all of that to be managed by the binding, but that part hasn’t been built yet. I’m using python 3.12, but I’m pretty sure 3.8+ will work.
So, I guess the question is, where is your python virtual environment? The binding is looking in /var/lib/openhab/tmp/appletv-binding, so if it’s not there, you should use that as the virtual environment directory and reinstall pyatv there. That should solve the problem.
As a note to myself, we should probably add a warning when this happens so that there’s a bit more to go on without needing to drop into debug logging.
Let me know how it goes!
Definitely a step forward!
I’ve installed the pyatv in the correct location and my Apple TV thing is automatically discovered. I’ve added the pairing strings for each protocol using the atvremote pair function. However the thing remains offline with a configuration error.
Looking at the log file in karaf I see the following…

Thanks for suggestions and/or pointers in the right direction.
I appear to have made a more positive progress. I’ve added all the credential strings, as generated by the atvremote pair command, in the Thing setup. Is it odd that the Thing now says:
Pairing requirement for Airplay is Disabled, but credentials are set. Pairing requirement for Companion is Disabled, but credentials are set. Pairing requirement for RAOP is Disabled, but credentials are set.
Any ideas? Suggestions? Thank you!

Maybe I’m another step closer! Apple TV Thing comes ONLINE then immediately goes OFFLINE and this sequence repeats.

At this point I have no credentials set in the UI for Companion, AirPlay, nor RAOP. Adding credentials brings back the error message of credentials set but pairing requirement is disabled.
ChatGPT suggests there is a compatibility issue between tvOS 26.1 and the binding. Could that be true?
Thanks!
Sorry you’re having difficulties; I’m sure we can figure out what’s going on, it might just take some back-and-forth.
The errors you’re seeing are strange… My device is running 26.1 and seems to be working without problems. I think the log snippet you posted is missing some information… I’m not sure why you’re seeing an “unsupported_command” error. The command it’s attempting to run should appear just before that message. Can you look through your openhab log for the string “AppleTVCommandLoop: Sending command”…
I honestly don’t know if chatGPT can be trusted in this case; it’s possible there are folks reporting trouble outside this forum (or it’s made the connection that pyatv is involved).
I did restart my binding and it looks like it’s able to get the authentication requirements properly, so I think this should work for you as well.
There is a setting that might need to be changed on your device… go into Settings → Airplay and Apple Home → Allow Access and make sure that it’s set to “Same Network” and “No password”. I seem to recall someone reporting a problem involving that.
Also, just to verify, in Settings→Remotes and Devices→Remote App and Devices, there should be an entry for pyatv. I have many, but I think that’s because of my past attempts to get this binding working reliably. You can always remove these, but you’ll need to repair afterwards.
Thank you Bill, appreciate your help.
Below is a larger extract from the log:tail within Karaf which may be a little repetitive.
In the Apple TV, in Settings → Remotes and Devices → Remote App and Devices I can confirm there are 3 remotes named pyatv - one each for companion, airplay, and RAOP.
In the Settings → Airplay and Apple Home → AirPlay=On, Allow Access=Everyone, Require Password=Off
Agree with your ChatGPT assessment, it has been helpful to a point but now it keeps sending me in circles.
Thanks again for your help!
