When I fired up the projector hanging off the appleTV and hovered over either the the ‘Music’ or ‘Computers’ choice, the album cover of the currently playing roon track is displayed at the top of the screen as a selectable thing. drill down into it with the remote, and next/play/pause buttons work (with the delays you mentioned).
By multiple nodes i mean separate Rpi’s in dfferent rooms each running the powermate extension node js app installed as per the github instructions.
They are also running the roon bridge, But I have noticed that, it is not necessary.
I hope this is clear, Any ideas?

For testing purposes I have only one power mate. When I run the extension on two different bridges , only one of which has a power mate attached and you check on the extensions page of the settings tab (of the roon app), you can see that the extension status alternanates between . 1 powermate found and no powermate found. When it is in the not found status, even the connected powermate will not function.
Hope this is clear. Maybe I need to buy another powermate to test , but at 45 euros , they’re not cheap!!
@danny Wanted to thank you for the Griffin Powermate extension. It is unfortunate that the Powermate is no longer in production, I managed to track one down that does not cost an arm and a leg. Got it running on Win 10 (Roon remote) as a service using node-windows, now I can control my Core running on audio Linux and also use Griffin to control control local apps.
I’ll be happy with something simpler (I’m sure this has been asked elsewhere). I use a MacMini as Core and the endpoint. It would be real nice if the Roon endpoint would respond to the MacMini IR remote. Play, pause, next track, previous track. Thats all I’m requesting! This is the only feature I miss after moving from Audirvana to Roon.
I am surprised you can’t get it working. I used a Flirc usb dongle to do that with my MacBook. Problem is it needs Roon to be the active program and for the screen to not have gone to sleep. Should be easier for a Mac Mini that is on all the time though.
