Use case for Audio

[RandomMetalhead]

Hi together,

First of all, thanks a lot for the effort with this plugin!

I am having a use case, which is not fitting perfectly and maybe there is a ootb solution, I am not seeing at the moment.

Following setup:

• Plugin in TV Plattform Mode
• Philips TV
• Audio System controlled via HarmonyHub

Problem:
When I start my audio system, TV in HomeKit also starts, because “Audio System” is a Input for TV. I also use automation to dimm the lights, when I watch TV. I don’t want to dimm the lights when I am listening music. The automation is triggered by TV. So even when I start only the audio system, my light gets dimmed, because the TV turns on with input “audio”.

Is there a easy solution for this problem?

Hi,

What is your audio system ? You can always exclude the avtivity from tv and add a switch for it for example i think (options activitiesToPublishAsAccessoriesSwitch And activitiesToPublishAsInputForTVMode)

Hi,

I tried to show my usecase in a image.

config looks like this

{
            "platform": "HarmonyHubWebSocket",
            "name": "HarmonyHub",
            "hubIP": "10.10.1.29",
            "activitiesToPublishAsInputForTVMode": [
                "Apple TV schauen",
                "Playstation spielen"
            ],
            "activitiesToPublishAsAccessoriesSwitch": [
                "Anlage aktivieren"
            ]
        }

Problem: I use the "TV turned on" for automatically turn down lights via automation. Which I do not want with Audio. So TV should not turn on, when using switch for Audio (Anlage aktivieren).

In the meanwhile, your plugin has become very powerful and option rich. Maybe I missed a usecase for another option.

Thanks!
