Hi, can you explain how to use it.
As example, I want to control Apple TV 4 Gen from web page. What preferences I need to do and what HTTP commands I need to send to node server to control Apple TV?

Hi Alvs,

I actually ran out of energy to develop this as it was quite complicated, however I was able to successfully pair with the Apple TV and do some controlling. The most complicated part is pairing.

Essentially you need to start broadcasting as a portable device, get the pin code, then goto your apple tv, choose the device and enter the same pin code.

Once it's paired, you can successfully send commands. This worked well before apple released it's new Apple TV remote with gesture support. I need to study how that works.

Recently I've received a bit of interest in this project, so I am considering to finish development of it, although my time is quite short these days.
