I got the new zwift play yesterday and I am trying to pair it to my apple tv.
My current set up is that I have my Kickr core and heart monitor paired by blue tooth directly to the apple tv. I know I have to pair the play through the companion app as the apple tv does not have enough channels. I was hoping that only the play would go though the app and keep the trainer and heart monitor by blue tooth directly to the apple tv but i cannot do this.
The only way I can get the play to pair is by connecting the trainer, heart monitor and play all though the companion app.
Is it possible to have the play paired by the app only and the trainer and heart monitor paired directly to the apple tv.
No, you need to pair everything through Companion. But I’ve been doing this for some time and it works very well.
Thanks for your reply. I was thinking that alright.
I had to do the same thing but recently have issues with Zwift finding my devices when trying to pair through the phone , it just keeps searching. My Neo, HRM and Zwift Play are on the same WiFi network. Anyone else having this issue?

I’m in the the same situation now. Exactly same set up. Using an android phone for my companion app I can only find the play controllers not the core. How are you getting all devices to connect via companion??
Can you clarify if you are looking at “Zwift Hardware” menu in Companion, or activating the “Pair Through Phone” feature in the game?
Both of those options. Pair through phone doesn’t seem to do anything at all. Samsung phone and tablet have been tried.
The “Zwift Hardware” menu is for updating firmware on Zwift branded devices, so you would not expect to find any Wahoo products when you’re using that feature in Companion. You may also need to grant Location permission for the Companion app in Android settings.
Another thing to try is shut off Zwift and Companion, run the Wahoo app, pair the trainer, check for firmware updates from Wahoo, and do a spindown calibration to prove the trainer is working.
When you are in the Pairing screen and you have Zwift Companion running, does ZC automatically switch to the Map screen? If not then that’s indicating that your ZC app can’t see your Apple TV and the Zwift Game app, and that will cause the pairing not to be able to use Companion either. If this is what you’re seeing, check that your phone is connected to your wifi, and try rebooting your router, phone and Apple TV.
Also, are you using a wifi extender or anything similar?
All working now. Almost. I wasn’t selecting the devices on the zwift app. I was expecting them to pop up on ZC. 
.
HRM keeps saying connection failure now tho. Not reading any data either. Coros arm band.
