Hi, first I wanted to thank you for this great job.

I've got a problem with the volume. It can be controlled without problem on Homebridge directly but I can't make it work on the IPad Home App.

There is no Device with sound on Home app but I understand well this is normal. I try with Apple remote which should be able to deal with volume without success. The TV is known by Appel remote and when I click on button, the TV shows a small light (the TV receive something) no button on Apple Remote works.

My plugin is parametrized as follow:

{
            "tvs": [
                {
                    "name": "TV Salon",
                    "ip": "192.168.1.14",
                    "debug": true,
                    "soundoutput": "headphone",
                    "applications": [
                        {
                            "title": "myCANAL"
                        },
                        {
                            "title": "Disney"
                        },
                        {
                            "title": "Netflix"
                        },
                        {
                            "title": "YouTube"
                        },
                        {
                            "title": "Prime"
                        }
                    ],
                    "sources": [
                        "extInput:hdmi"
                    ]
                }
            ],
            "platform": "BraviaPlatform"
        }
    ]

Some logs at startup if it can help:

I notice that neither the model or manufacturer is set in the accesories view:

Manufacturer | Default-Manufacturer
-- | --
Model | Default-Model
Name | TV Salon
Serial Number | Default-SerialNumber
Firmware Revision | 2.4.9
Homebridge Instance IP | 192.168.1.13

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Note: My Sony is a Bravia 4K UR3 Version 9 with firmware 4.9.125

The volume can only be controlled from the Apple remote app. In iOS or iPadOS swipe down from the top right, select the remote, select the TV and use the volume buttons of the device to change the volume.

Hello @normen thank you for the quick answer. With the volume button of the IPad it's works like a charm. I was using up down arrow and expect it can control volume. My bad.
