Is there a way to get apple TVOS client app to perform/to bring to front (same way as on iMac) camera motion to these options would allow for the viewer to immediately to get the camera view infront of what ever was viewing OR to for the display to be shown in pip on camera motion.

    Apps themselves cannot do this on tvOS, but it may be possible to put together a solution with a few different components to do this (e.g. SecuritySpy triggers a Home Assistant accessory via HomeKit Bridge, which can then invoke the SecuritySpy tvOS app using its URL scheme). I'm afraid this is a bit complex and we don't have any tutorials for this.

    Ben is there any progress with this. I am looking to be able to bring open a specific camera and hopefully map that to a HomeKit button using shortcuts.

    I know for example the basic where shortcuts can open any app on the Apple TV. Other tvOS apps support further streams example Channels https://getchannels.com/docs/apps/automation/siri-shortcuts/

    Does the url scheme allow for this type of implementation ?
