I'm having the same issue, but opening the app on my Chromecast with google tv before reloading the integration makes it work again.

Very annoying, as all automations using this to send notifications will fail when the integration isn't loaded.

[crafty35a]

I am seeing the same behavior, the integration fails to load unless I first launch the app (on Nvidia Shield in my case)

[Valiceemo]

Doesn't look like like this integration is being actively maintained unfortunately, so I doubt we will see a fix

[Danteba]

I receive the same error, every time I reboot Home Assistant. But the service is working fine on my Philips Android TV.

[gannas42]

I am seeing the same behavior and HA sent me repair notices because the automations I have which consume the service are now broken.

[ColtonYYZ]

I have the same error....

"The automation "Doorbell Snapshot" (automation.doorbell_snapshot) has an action that calls an unknown service: notify.android_tv_fire_tv."

I hope the creator will see these messages and fix the error. :(

[ColtonYYZ]

Note: I was able to get it working again. I removed the entry in Notifications for Android TV/Fire Stick integration, restarted HAss, and then re-added the entry. Then restarted HAss and it works again. I didn't remove the integration, just the entry - just to clarify. So now it's working again for me!

Edit: Simply disconnecting the WiFi on my Firestick and reconnecting to my WFi allows me to reload the integration successfully, so no need to remove the integration. Just disconnect and reconnect to your wifi and reload the integration fixes it until next reboot of HAss.

Same here. Upon restarting HA, the service notify.android_tv becomes State missing until the TV is switched on.

@tkdrob would you like to take a look at this?

[b2un0]

same 4 me

[xbmcnut]

For what's it worth, I have two TVs; a Sony with built-in CC & a Samsung with an external Google TV dongle. For me, it's always only the Sony that's goes offline even though I have all of the power saving off.

@xbmcnut @b2un0 @ColtonYYZ @gannas42 @Danteba @crafty35a @Aasikki @Valiceemo @LewisSpring @asgraf @wernerhp @MihaiKrieger @JonasGe @Skinah @EF01 please vote for pull request #128958 if you want to see this issue fixed.

In the meantime, you can use the code from the pull request and create a custom_component to test the fix locally.

[ColtonYYZ]

@sVnsation, stupid question but how do I vote? I'm not overly verse using github. I'm sorry. :( Happy to do it, just neeed to know how.
