Nimbus + only works on 1 apple TV

The controller only shows up in bluetooth on one TV. How can I pair one controller to two TV's?

One TV is upstairs the other is down, if that matters.


Thanks

What are the Apple TV models? Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support

What are the versions of their system software (tvOS)?


By pairing, you register identifying properties to the Apple TV bluetooth settings. Separately, you may need to connect a bluetooth device. Bluetooth devices can be connected to one host at a time, the device will be disconnected from the other host.

Automatic connecting may be confused if the controller is within bluetooth range for both devices.


You may temporarily turn off (disconnect from power) the first Apple TV box, so that pairing can be done easily on the secondary Apple TV box without interference. Once paired, the box should remember the accessory, until you reset the Apple TV box or remove the bluetooth accessory from the pairing list.
