Android Debug Bridge / Google TV Streamer - not working?

Third party integrations

I’m stuck. Also not sure where to put this, hope this is right.

I have a new Google TV Streamer. I have set up the Andoird Remote and Cast and they work. I tried setting up the Android Debug Bridge as it appears required to do many things.

I had trouble at first as it would not connect. I found if I switched to wifi and enable wifi ADB it would work (you cannot enable wifi debugging with ethernet connected).

In that mode it still will not STAY connected. It will connect for a second or so (I can see it in the developer states screen) then disconnect.

If I switch back to ethernet after using wifi it continues the connect/disconnect aspect (I am using the same IP address). If I reboot then the debugging gets disabled and it won’t connect.

There seem to be two separate issues – getting it to connect at all on ethernet (I have tried using USB then “adb tcp 5555” without success), but also even if I use wifi it won’t STAY connected. It just turns on for a second or so every 30 seconds or so (or it may be random, I didn’t time it).

Is anyone having this issue? Any ideas?

Frankly all I want to do is open a web browser to a specific URL (NOT the HA web page), but I can’t find a way to do that without ADB.

Well, I can answer a piece of my question. I don’t need to tell it to open a web browser, I just need to tell it to open a URL, using the remote app.

    - action: remote.turn_on
      target:
          entity_id: remote.livingroom_cast_remote
      data:
          activity: http://192.168.130.93:81/mjpg/camFrontDoor/vide.mjpg

That still begs the question why I can’t get ADB to “stick”, but does solve the main reason I need it.
