Initial thoughts & frustrations

OK, fixed. Deleted device and added as new device. Still don't know why it disconnected or why the device is seen by AVA but then it says it can't find the device.
 
I was able to add the AppleTV IP device. I still can't get the IP flow commands executed by the AppleTV. Previously it did work. I can control the Apple via an iPad or iPhone.

My system is a TP Link Deco 85 2200 mesh system. Fast roaming is off. Device isolation is off. AVA brain and AppleTV are connected to the same ethernet switch. My AVA screens are below. So far everything my dealer and I have tried hasn't been successful. Anyone here have any suggestions?

For those using the CYP serial adapter to a Lumagen processor. Are you using 1 Ground, 2 Transmit and 5 receive or are 2 and 5 reversed?
 
FWIW, I bought a breakout cable from Amazon. This is how the breakout cable was labeled and what worked for me.

Did you fix this?
Since adding a second Apple AirPlay connection to the Apple TV, I lose the AVA remote connection if the Apple TV restarts. The fix is to change the Apple room home connection under AirPlay back and forth until it syncs up.

Nope. Still trying. I bought a Unifi Dream 7 router since I was told that my mesh system was most likely the culprit. I hooked the AVA brain and ATV to a switch connected directly to the router, bypassing the mesh, and still no go. AVA sees the device and adds it but is unable to control the ATV. Quite frustrating.

Try changing the Apple room name a few times under Apple AIrplay, see how you get on 🤞

No Bueno. I've tried it several times. Been using AI. Something funny with multicast. Spending my afternoon trying solutions...

Did you create your own template or use one of Ava’s pre configured files ?

I used their file. Accessory is the correct one for Lumagen. It was tedious adding all the commands to the CYP template but now Lumagen control has been perfect.

Spending the afternoon working the ATV problem I believe that it is the Netgear unmanaged 2.5 GB switch causing the issue. Perplexity AI deep search is pretty amazing.

I had another ATV that I hadn't used in a while and it paired perfectly with the change to a Unify switch and Unify Dream 7 router.

After switching out from a CYP CR-IPS1 to CR-IPS4 my AVA remote via brain IP stopped controlling my AppleTV. I have spent the afternoon trying fixes. AI suggested that latest ATV software is the cause. Evidently a number of remote brands have had issues. Would those who are using ATV successfully please let me know which software version the ATV is running?
 
I’m on tvOS 26.2 (23K54), that latest version. I’m using the AVA remote Apple TV IP Driver and everything seems to be working fine.
