Discover and control Apple media/AirPlay devices (HomePod, Apple TV, AirPlay speakers) from macOS. Use when you want to scan for AirPlay devices, map names→IPs/IDs, pair/connect, and control playback/volume using pyatv (atvremote) and Airfoil.

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Author: Parth Maniar — @officialpm This skill is a thin workflow wrapper around two tools: pyatv (atvremote) for discovering Apple TVs/HomePods and (when supported/paired) remote-control style commands. Airfoil (via the existing airfoil skill) for reliable speaker connect/disconnect + volume control across AirPlay speakers (including HomePods).
This skill uses pyatv installed via pipx. Install/repair (pinned to Python 3.12 to avoid Python 3.14 asyncio issues): pipx install pyatv || pipx upgrade pyatv pipx reinstall pyatv --python python3.12 Verify: atvremote --help | head
# Fast scan (5s) ./scripts/scan.sh 5 # Faster scan when you know IP(s) ./scripts/scan-hosts.sh "10.0.0.28,10.0.0.111" 3 # Or JSON output node ./scripts/scan-json.js 5 You’ll see devices like: HomePods (e.g., "Living Room", "Bedroom") Apple TV AirPlay-capable TVs
Use Airfoil for speaker control (reliable for HomePods): # List speakers Airfoil can see ../airfoil/airfoil.sh list # Connect and set volume ./scripts/connect.sh "Living Room" ./scripts/volume.sh "Living Room" 35 # Disconnect (direct) ../airfoil/airfoil.sh disconnect "Living Room"
First, scan to find the Apple TV name or id, then run commands: # Examples (device name can be Apple TV or other targets) atvremote -n "TV" playing atvremote -n "TV" play_pause atvremote -n "TV" turn_on atvremote -n "TV" turn_off If you get auth/protocol errors, pairing/credentials are needed (device-dependent).
pyatv HomePod control often requires authentication and may not support all remote-control commands out of the box. When pyatv fails for HomePod playback/volume, prefer Airfoil for volume + speaker routing. atvremote scan is the source of truth for IP/ID discovery.
Runs atvremote scan with a configurable timeout. ./scripts/scan.sh 5
Parses atvremote scan output into a compact JSON summary (name, address, model, services). node ./scripts/scan-json.js
