# Homebridge DACP



This platform plugin enables Homebridge to control devices or programs, which implement [DACP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Audio_Control_Protocol). Examples of programs or

devices that can be controlled by this plugin are Apple TV and iTunes.



Any system capable of running [Homebridge](https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge) can be

used to run `homebridge-dacp`. The only need is network access to the device or program in

question. There is no need to run this on the same machine as iTunes to expose it via HomeKit.



homebridge-dacp provides volume control and play/pause controls via HomeKit. These can be

used in conjunction with the [homebridge-callmonitor plugin](https://github.com/grover/homebridge-callmonitor)

to pause media playback or to reduce the playback volume while on a phone call.



The Speaker service, which provides volume control and mute, can be disabled if it is not

required - for example if the Apple TV is connected to an A/V receiver that is integrated

with HomeKit via a different plugin.
