Setting up a FireTV I'm trying to set up a FireTV stick in my Home Assistant but I'm unsure what to put in for everything.
I know the IP address but other than that I'm lost. Any help would be appreciated. Hi everybody.
I successfully added my Firestick 4K MAX to home assistant with this code - platform: androidtv device_class: androidtv name: Fire TV host: 192.168.1.139 port: 5555 adb_server_ip: 19. Hi all, I wanted a way to control my Fire TV and Chromecast with Google TV (here on I'll just reference this as Fire TV) over WiFi/Ethernet so I could send commands to navigate the screen. I tried ADB as an option but it was too slow and laggy.
I wanted to make it feel as close to using the actual remote as I could but also ensure it was reliable and consistent. So using a Pi Zero W/Pi Zero. With this approach, Home Assistant will send the ADB commands to the server, which will then send them to the 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. I've managed to get control of my Fire TV cube using ADB on Home Assistant.
It works quite well, but I am seeing a recurring problem. I lose control of the Fire TV pretty much every day. This is true via the UCR2 remote or when using HA via a web page.
If I restart my Fire TV then it works again. I think it is a networking issue. My home network is a bit fragile.
I am using Devolo power line. Basically it integrates and older Sony Bravia TV with Fire TV Stick on HDMI via Home Assistant in Apple Homekit with Siri Voice Control for Volume, Mute and Turning TV on and off. With the latest technology, your Fire TV can now act as a central hub for all your smart home needs.
Simply use your remote to navigate through the easy.
