Input Select Question #6

Closed FrankJaco closed 1 year ago

FrankJaco commented 1 year ago

I have 3 Google TV's and one embedded Android TV. This integration is great. Have 99.9% of what I want to do working already. Thanks for your efforts!

One thing I cannot figure out is how to send the command to access the "Input Select" function? On the actual remotes the button looks like the mdi:import icon but is used to switch TV inputs.

same question here - arrived to this repo linked from Home Asisstant's new (2023.05) Android TV Remote integration.

For other keys sending the command like "VOLUME_DOWN" (without the quotes) works.

For input select I tried KEYCODE_TV_INPUT TV_INPUT

thinking they may be right key - but didnt work :-(

I haven't found a way either. I was hoping TV_INPUT_HDMI_1 to work but on my device it only works if I'm on the input select menu. Maybe we can launch the input select app with a deep link? I haven't found time to investigate. If you want to explore that option you should read https://community.home-assistant.io/t/android-tv-remote-app-links-deep-linking-guide/567921 An alternative also mentioned in that guide is to use the "button mapper" app.

same issue here with a Google TV, the command executes in dev tools but no action on the TV, it also does not do anything if i open the input select screen.

What I found to work previously using the "old" Android TV integration in Home Assistant aka Android Debug Bridge, sending the command "INPUT". This runs adb shell input keyevent INPUT, which works like a charm. However, I cannot find any mention of what that actually maps to, nor do I have the means to figure out which app that calls.
