Selecting any device type will display the remote control that was shipped with that device. Since the Fire Stick 1st Gen did not have app shortcut buttons, they will not be available to use when you configure your card this way. The image and image labels at the top of this thread might help you to understand what I mean by that.

In the event that you are using an apple or android device to interact with your Home Assistant instance, and a simple restart does not solve the issue, please let me know. I might be able to provide some additional device specific help for you.


Amazon App Download For Android

That last paragraph is really key - Fire Tablets live and die by their ability to sideload the Google Play Store. If dropping android also means they can't run APK's from the biggest store that's going to be a big problem. Firestick performance has always been super slow so hopefully this results in better performance, but I can't imagine switching away from GoogleTV at this point.

The Android Debug Bridge integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more.[Learn more] allows you to control an Android device or Amazon Fire TV device.

When setting up this integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more.[Learn more], it is recommended that you do NOT use an ADB server and instead use the built-in Python ADB implementation. This simplifies the setup and makes it easier to troubleshoot issues. If there are stability issues with this approach, then you may wish to try using an ADB server. See the ADB Setup section for more information.

Here you can define applications that are not automatically detected by the backend library, where the keys are app IDs and the values are app names that will be displayed in the UI. If a name is not provided and the option Exclude apps with unknown name is enabled, the app will never be shown in the sources list.

Whether or not to retrieve the running apps as the list of sources. If this option is checked, the running apps will be retrieved and used as the sources. If not, there will be only one source: the current app.

Here you can configure a list of rules where the rule key is the app IDs and whose values are lists of state detection rules. As example a valid value for a detection rule is ["standby", {"playing":{"media_session_state":4}}, {"paused":{"media_session_state":3, "wake_lock_size":4}}]. Note that rule values must be always inside square bracket ([...]). See the section Custom State Detection for more info.

The default approach is to connect to your device using the adb-shell Python package. As of Home Assistant 0.101, if a key is needed for authentication and it is not provided by the ADB Key setup option, then Home Assistant will generate a key for you.

Prior to Home Assistant 0.101, this approach did not work well for newer devices. Efforts have been made to resolve these issues, but if you experience problems then you should use the ADB server option.

Using this approach, Home Assistant will send the ADB commands to the server, which will then send them to the Android / Fire TV device and report back to Home Assistant. To use this option, add the adb_server_ip option to your configuration. If you are running the server on the same machine as Home Assistant, you can use 127.0.0.1 for this value.

You are already connected to the Android / Fire TV via ADB from another device. Only one device can be connected, so disconnect the other device, restart the Android / Fire TV (for good measure), and then restart Home Assistant.

Some Android devices (e.g., Philips TVs running Android TV) only accept the initial ADB connection request over their Wi-Fi interface. If you have the TV wired, you need to connect it to Wi-Fi and try the initial connection again. Once the authentication has been granted via Wi-Fi, you can connect to the TV over the wired interface as well.

If your device drops off WiFi, breaking the ADB connection and causing the entityAn entity represents a sensor, actor, or function in Home Assistant. Entities are used to monitor physical properties or to control other entities. An entity is usually part of a device or a service.[Learn more] to become unavailable in Home Assistant, you could install a wake lock utility (such as Wakelock) to prevent this from happening. Some users have reported this problem with Xiaomi Mi Box devices.

You can launch an app on your device using the media_player.select_source command. Simply provide the app ID as the source. You can also stop an app by prefixing the app ID with a !. For example, you could define scripts to start and stop Netflix as follows:

The service androidtv.adb_command allows you to send either keys or ADB shell commands to your Android / Fire TV device. If there is any output, it will be stored in the 'adb_response' attribute (i.e., state_attr('media_player.android_tv_living_room', 'adb_response') in a template) and logged at the INFO level.

The Android Debug Bridge integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more.[Learn more] works by polling the Android / Fire TV device at a regular interval and collecting a handful of properties. Unfortunately, there is no standard API for determining the state of the device to which all apps adhere. Instead, the backend androidtv package uses three of the properties that it collects to determine the state: audio_state, media_session_state, and wake_lock_size. The correct logic for determining the state differs depending on the current app, and the backend androidtv package implements app-specific state detection logic for a handful of apps. Of course, it is not feasible to implement custom logic for each and every app in the androidtv package. Moreover, the correct state detection logic may differ across devices and device configurations.

The solution to this problem is the state_detection_rules configuration parameter, which allows you to provide your own rules for state detection. The keys are app IDs, and the values are lists of rules that are evaluated in order. Valid rules are:

Sideloading is the process of installing apps without the Appstore. We'll manually download the APK and install it ourselves. There are apps made for Android TV and Google TV that aren't available in the Amazon Appstore, and some Android apps work fine on a TV despite not being designed for it. Sideloading allows you to use them on a Fire TV.

To enable the hidden "Developer Options" menu, go to Settings > My Fire TV or Device & Options > About > Click the device name until a message says, "You are now a developer." Here's what that process looks like.

Before we can do anything, you'll need an APK to sideload, and we highly recommend using your phone for this part. You can download APKs with some tools or use the APK Mirror website, which is a trusted source for downloading apps. Just make sure to download APK files, not app "bundles."
