Home automation doesn’t play music when Apple TV is in sleep mode. But it just turns ON. Works fine when Apple TV is already turned on.
I have latest software on both iPhone and Apple TV. Can someone please help me resolve this issue?

Hey Kash15,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
We see from your post that you're having issues with home automations in sleep mode on the Apple TV. We'd like to help out.
Try deleting and recreating the automation to test:

That didn't work. My apple TV is connected to a bose receiver, when apple TV turns on Bose receiver turns on as well. Not sure if receiver is cause of my problem.
Anyways, I took following work around to get this to work
Now the problem is If Apple TV is already on, it starts playing then after 5 seconds, it again starts playing. So, I want to check if Apple TV is in sleep mode, and tried to get the state of Apple TV. this doesn't work (this works with other Accessories). I even tried conditions like, If Accessory State doesn't have a value or does have a value, but It doesn't let me select "Home Accessory" as Apple TV (again works with other Accessories). see below screenshot . Is there anyway, I can say if Apple TV is in Sleep mode, do something else do other thing?
