Hey all! I’m using two Astrions at my home for keeping my wife happy with the home theater and TV in our room with Apple TV and SHIELD and gaming options lol. So far I’m liking them, however I think I’ve discovered a bug and was wondering if anyone else has come across this. I have multiple views under my Astrion dashboard; one for each entertainment room (living room and bedroom) plus a general smart home one with lights and curtains and thermostat etc. Both living room and bedroom have one Nvidia SHIELD and one Apple TV. On HA I have configured these all and they work as intended. However when I go to either one of my Astrions while the SHIELD cards show up correctly, I get duplicate Bedroom Apple TV cards! I don’t understand what could be wrong here as they have nothing in common programming-wise and if I delete the Bedroom Apple TV card the Living Room one displays correctly but as soon as I add the Bedroom one back it overwrites the living room on the remote! What an odd bug.
Does each card have a different UUID when you go to YAML view?
May occur if you are copy/pasting the cards between views.

Hi driveformer,
Welcome to the Astrion community — and thank you for the clear description of your setup 
Also, thank you to @Chykan_Hunter for the excellent diagnostic suggestion.
Based on what you described, this behaviour is very likely related to card UUID duplication rather than the Apple TV devices themselves.
When a TV card is duplicated via copy/paste or cloned between dashboard views, the internal uuid can remain identical. Astrion uses this UUID as the unique reference for synchronization, so two cards sharing the same UUID may cause one device to overwrite another — which explains why the Bedroom Apple TV replaces the Living Room one on the remote.
Could you please check the following:
Open each Apple TV card in YAML view
Verify that both cards have different uuid: values
If they match, simply generate a new UUID for one card (any random UUID works)
After changing it:
-
Save the card
-
Reload/sync the Astrion dashboard
-
Reopen the view on the remote
This should allow both Apple TVs to appear independently.
We’re also reviewing ways to make this situation clearer or automatically handled in future updates, since multi-room media setups like yours are very common.
Thanks again for reporting this — and for helping us improve Astrion together with the community!
