    I guess I should rephrase.

    I already have a (couple) AppleTV and will be looking for a new TV soon. My current TV doesn't support volume control over HDMI-CEC from the AppleTV. I'm looking for a TV that will allow me to control the AppleTV and the TV power and volume all from the virtual Apple TV remote on iPhone.

    My work has TVs that have this functionality but I haven't been able to find a TV that works with power and volume, all of them have only been power control.

    "subreddit" you mean "community" ;)

    Do you have an example of Money diary posts? That sounds interesting

    I wouldn't mind seeing an onboarding guide and monthly Q/A threads

    Not exactly HomeKit but does anyone know of what I should look for in a TV to be able to control it's volume with the virtual remote on iPhone?

    I don't see many major company like apple hosting a mastodon or Lemmy outside of official PR announcements (mastodon). Just too much liability for them.

    On the other hand, I'm always looking for how to expand my HomeKit ecosystem. I've been waiting for Matter to matter so that my node-red instance can control native HomeKit devices

    You'd still need to update and replace every system a packet would touch. Why just add another 8 or 16 bits and make it where we'd have to go through this entire painful process again? IPv6's design was "we never want to do this again".

    An example of this "we never want to do this again" is only 1/8 of the v6 address space is currently marked usable for allocation. We have 7 more chances to change allocation methods without having to update or change any system.
