No remote options available in HomeKit

[MarcusSRussell]

Describe the bug
Don't see any remote options or volume options in HomeKit although I do see the off/on option which does work.
If I add individual switches this works but is not a great UI.
It is as if the "remote" and "volume" sections are being ignored.

To Reproduce
I am using the RM4 to control a preamp which uses an Apple Remote device. Whilst this isn't a 'standard' device for the RM4 the Broadlink App successfully learnt the codes and works as expected. In HHomebridge all learning codes were captured successfully and added to the config.
The relevant part of the config file is this:
{
"platform": "BroadlinkRM",
"name": "BroadlinkRM",
"hideScanFrequencyButton": false,
"hideLearnButton": false,
"hideWelcomeMessage": false,
"hosts": [
{
"address": "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx",
"mac": "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx",
"isRFSupported": true,
"isRM4": true
}
],
"accessories": [
{
"name": "HiFi",
"type": "tv",
"data": {
"off": "260048000...",
"on": "260048000...",
"remote": {
"select": "26009000...",
"arrowUp": "26005000...",
"arrowDown": "2600500...",
"arrowLeft": "26005000...",
"arrowRight": 26009000...",
"playPause": "26009000..."
},
"volume": {
"up": "2600500...",
"down": "26005000...",
"mute": "26009000..."
}
}
}
]
}

Expected behavior
I would assume I would get some kind of generic remote visible in HomeKit but I just get the on/off button - maybe I am expecting more than intended but I am not sure why the remote settings are there if they can't be used?

• OS: [e.g. iOS]
• Browser [e.g. chrome, safari]

OK I worked out the missing part - I wasn't selecting remote from the Control Center! And of course the iPhone's volume controls vary the volume.

My lack of knowledge and apologies but maybe this will help someone else.

I have a different problem but I will raise this as a separate issue

Many thanks and hopefully haven't wasted anybody's time
