Is it possible to detect the Apple TV 4 Siri Remote from an iOS application using CoreBluetooth? I'm able to detect the Apple TV, but I'm not having any luck detecting the Siri Remote. The Siri Remote uses Bluetooth 4.0 so I'm assuming it is detectable. Ideally, I'd like to detect the Siri Remote even if it's already paired with the Apple TV.
Simply being able to detect any signal from the Siri Remote/know it's in the vicinity of the users iPhone is what I'm after.
