The logon method to the backend systems changed in January / February 2024. I currently lack the skills and knowledge to figure out how to get the session to connect for CH, GB, IE, and likely SK. However, as at 15 June 2024, BE users have reported a fix for BE which I have added in to v2.3.2, and from 22 August 2025 NL users have assisted with a fix for NL, released in v2.3.6.

## Made in Switzerland

This plugin was written and tested on the author's set-top box (ARRIS mediabox model DCX960/KK0L/A816/0000) running on Sunrise TV in Switzerland. It has also been extensively tested on Telenet in Belgium (also on the 2nd generation HUMAX 2008C-STB-xx), Virgin Media in Great Britain and Ireland, and Ziggo in the Netherlands.

## Why I chose the Name EOSSTB
|
|
83
|
-
|
|
91
|
+
|
|
92
|
+
I tried to find a good common name that works for this plugin for all countries. Each country uses a different marketing name for the box, so I could not use the local name. The EOS system, also known as the Horizon platform, originally used an ARRIS DCX960, but even this box comes in different types and with different firmware, so I decided not to use the model name. I stuck with the box identifier that appears in the mqtt messages: EOSSTB.
|
|
84
93
|
|
|
85
94
|
In March 2022, a newer version of the set-top box appeared in Telenet in Belgium: a HUMAX 2008C-STB-TN, which identifies itself as EOS2STB. This has since been seen in NL as a HUMAX 2008C-STB-ZG, and in CH as a HUMAX 2008C-STB-UPC/CH.
|
|
86
95
|
|
|
87
|
-
In January 2023, an ARRIS VIP5002W appeared, which identifies itself as an APLSTB. However, I will keep the plugin name unchanged at EOSSTB.

|
|
|
128
|
-
|
|
136

|
|
129
137
|
|
|
130
|
-
|
|
138
|
+
- **Default Profile Support**: The default profile on start-up of the set-top box is used for the channel list if no other profile is configured for the plugin.

- **Future Feature Support**: The plugin also supports current and target media state as well as closed captions, even though the Home app accessory cannot currently display or control this data in the home app (as at iOS 18.6). Hopefully, Apple will add support for these features in the future. You can however use this data in Home Automations or the Shortcuts app.

The volume controls do not control the set-top box directly, as the set-top box has no volume capability. The set-top box physical remote actually sends IR commands to your TV. If you can control your TV volume via a network connection then the volume controls can be used to send volume commands to your TV via the raspberry pi. This is what the author uses.

## Using Profiles to Better Manage your Channel List

|
|
215
|
+
Many TV providers provide hundreds of TV channels. The Home app is limited to 100 "services", which are TV channels or reserved for system control. This limits the maximum possible channels to 95, and thus the plugin will load the first 95 subscribed channels found, ignoring all non-subscribed channels.
|
|
203
216
|
|
|
204
217
|
If the channels you wish to have in the Home app are not within the first 95 subscribed channels in your TV providers channel list, then you can create a profile on the set-top box, and configure the profile with the channels you want, in the order you want. Enter the same profile name in the plugin config **Profile Name**, and the plugin will load the channels from that profile.

The config item **Channel Sort By** allows the channels to be sorted by **Channel Order** (the standard channel order as shown on the TV) or by **Most Watched**. Most Watched is reported by the backend systems and is profile-based. It is not clear how often this list is updated, however for a TV subscription with many channels, this may be a preferable option to show your most watched channels at the top of the channel list.

235
|
+
Due to HomeKit design limitations, the maximum services for a single accessory are 100. Over this value the Home app will no longer respond.
|
|
222
236
|
Services used in this set-top box accessory are:
|
|
237
|
+
|
|
223
238
|
1. Information service (Name, model, serial number of the accessory)
|
|
224
239
|
2. Television service (for controlling the TV accessory)
|
|
225
240
|
3. Speaker service (for the controlling the TV accessory volume)
|
|
226
241
|
4. Input service. The input (TV channels) utilises one service per input. The maximum possible channels (inputs) are thus 100 - 3 = 97. I have limited the inputs to maximum 95, but you can override this in the config (helpful to reduce log entries when debugging). The inputs are hard limited to 95 inputs.

### Media State (Play/Pause) Limitations
|

|
|
245
|
+
The eosstb plugin can detect the target and current media state and shows STOP, PLAY, PAUSE or LOADING (loading is displayed only for current media state when fast-forwarding or rewinding) in the Homebridge logs. Unfortunately, the Apple Home app cannot do anything with the media state (as at iOS 18.6) apart from allow you to read it in Shortcuts or Automations. Hopefully this will improve in the future.

|
### Recording State Limitations
|
|
248
|
+
|
|
232
249
|
The eosstb plugin can detect the current recording state of the set-top box, both for local HDD-based recording (for boxes that have a HDD fitted) and for network recording. The plugin shows IDLE, ONGOING_NDVR or ONGOING_LOCALDVR in the Homebridge logs. DVR means digital video recorder; N for network and LOCAL for local HDD based recording. The Apple Home app cannot natively do anything with the recording state but the eosstb plugin uses it to set the inUse charateristic if the set-top box is turned on or is recording to the local HDD. This is useful in Shortcuts or Automations.

The eosstb plugin can detect the closed captions state (**Subtitle options** in the set-top box menu) and shows ENABLED or DISABLED in the Homebridge logs. Unfortunately, the Apple Home app cannot do anything with the closed captions state (as at iOS 18.6) apart from allow you to read it in Shortcuts or Automations.

* **channelOrder**: The method to sort the channels in the channel list in the Home app. Available values are: Channel order = "channelOrder", Most Watched = "mostWatched". Case sensitive. Optional, defaults to channelOrder.
|

|

|
+
- **profile**: The profile name to use to load the channel list for the device. Optional, defaults to the default profile on startup, as configured on the set-top box. The plugin loads the first 95 subscribed channels found, which is a limitation of HomeKit. To manage your favourite channels within the constraint of 95 channels, create a profile on your set-top box, and use the profile name in the plugin config. If your profile is changed to the set-top box, the changes will be pushed to HomeKit. Channels should stay in a consistent channel order as the channel number is used in HomeKit scenes, not the channel name.

### Channel Config Items
|
|
406
|

|
|
395
407
|
Some channels such as Netflix are actually apps on the set-top box, and not normal linear TV channels. They appear in the channel list on the TV, and can be added to favourites from the TV menu (but not from the web app menu). However, they are not broadcast as a normal linear TV channel in the master channel list. Therefore, the name cannot be determined from the profile favourite channel list, and the name appears as "Channel xxxxxx" where xxxxxx is the channelId. To overcome this, add the channelId and the channelName to the channels section in the config as per the examples below.
|
|
396
408
|
|
|
397
|
-
|
|
409
|
+
- **channelId**: The channelId, as defined by the TV provider. Unknown channelIds will appear in the Homebridge log.
|
|
398
410
|
|
|
399
|
-
|
|
411
|
+
- **channelKeyMacro**: The channel key macro (key sequence) to send. If channelKeyMacro is present, channelId is ignored.
|
|
400
412
|
|
|
401
|
-
|
|
413
|
+
- **channelNames**: Allows you to add unknown channel names, names for key macros, or to rename any channel as you wish. Required as some channels (e.g., Netflix) are not published on the master channel list. If a channel displays in the Home app like this: "Channel SV09690", then check your TV to see the channel name, and add it to the config. An example is provided for Netflix. Optional, unknown channels are displayed as "Channel xxxxxxx" where xxxxxxx is the channelId.

## Set-Top Box KeyEvent Commands

See the Wiki for [a collection of known key event commands that control the set-top box](https://github.com/jsiegenthaler/homebridge-eosstb/wiki/KeyEvents).

## Special Commands
|
|
472
|
+
|
|
460
473
|
The volume and mute commands do not control the set-top box directly, but can be used to control the TV or Receiver volume (network remote control of the TV is required).
|
|
461
474
|
|
|
462
475
|
### Volume
|
|
463
|
-
|
|
476
|
+
|
|
477
|
+
- **VolumeUp** and **VolumeDown**: When the Apple TV Remote is displayed, the iOS device volume controls can be used to control the volume of your TV. However, this is not done via the set-top box, but instead via a command using a command line interface (CLI) to your TV. Your TV must be capable of being controlled remotely via any machine that can accept a bash command, such as a raspberry pi. The author has a Samsung Home Theater HT-D5500 and runs Homebridge on a raspberry pi, and thus uses [samsungctl](https://github.com/Ape/samsungctl/) which allows KEY_VOLUP, KEY_VOLDOWN and KEY_MUTE to be easily sent to the Samsung Home Theater. If you already have volume buttons in Homebridge for your TV, you can control Homebridge via the command line. See the [TV Volume Control Wiki page] (https://github.com/jsiegenthaler/homebridge-eosstb/wiki/TV-Volume-Control) and also [the examples in issue 506 in the Homebridge issues log](https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge/issues/506) and scroll to the bottom to see some working command lines. Once you know what bash command works, configure it in volUpCommand and volDownCommand.

### Mute
|

|
|
480
|
+
|
|
481
|
+
- **Mute** is supported natively by the Apple TV Remote as of iOS 18.0. This plugin also supports Mute with a triple-press detection on the volume down button, so that prior iOS versions also have a Mute capability. Press the volume down button three times within 800ms, and the Mute command will be sent using the command stored in the **muteCommand** config item.

### View TV Settings
|
|

|
-
You can use **View TV Settings** to open the set-top box main menu at the **PROFILES** menu. Usage: in the Home app, tap-and-wait on the set-top box tile to open the channel changer, then tap on the cogwheel to open the settings for the accessory, and scroll down to **View TV Settings**.
