Created on 3 Sep 2020  Â·  3Comments  Â·  Source: homebridge/homebridge

Hi,

The update have 2 new categories found in iOS 14 Television Set Top Box and Television Streaming Stick

Does anyone know where i can find more information on it, like its characteristics. I had a look on Developer page but nothing available

Thank you

These two are just two new accessory Categories. Device Categories have no real functional meaning and really only are used to display the icon on the pairing screen. For those new categories there aren’t even new icons, there is just the generic „house“ icon displayed.

They are likely just to make the Home app display different icons for the existing Television service.

Hey mate, thanks for the reply. Any extra code that needs to go in existing Television accessory for those icons to appear?

i have updated to the newer version but no option to change icon for TV accessory in HomeKit.
