Youād have to add custom svg icons for them as described here. You could also use CSS to instead use an image as described here.
This card is great but iām strugling adding a custom_source of any app installed on my Android TV, in this case SmartTube
I thought that app_id should be used com.liskovsoft.smarttubetv.beta but it doesnāt seem to work. Also looked for a source in dev tools but it doesnāt give me any hints.
Do you have an example on how to add a custom_source for any app installed on my Philips Android TV?
For Smartube Iām using the card default YouTube source vnd.youtube://. It does throw an error message at the bottom of the screen saying it canāt process the intent but it works anyway. Have you tried any of the alternates for YouTube or Smartube in the Android TV deep linking guide??
As for examples there a section in the README in custom keys and sources that has this example:
custom_sources:
max:
icon: hbo
source: hbomax://deeplink
With source being found using the deep linking guide.

Iāve just released v3.1.0, which adds jinja2-like templating using nunjucks.
Because this uses nunjucks to recreate Home Assistant templating, I have to reimplement some of its functions as described in the Home Assistant templating documentation. So far the following functions are implemented:
statesis_statestate_attris_state_attrhas_valueiifmatch_media
Hereās some examples of using templates with this card:
rows:
- - '{{ "navigation_buttons" if match_media("(orientation: landscape)") else "navigation_touchpad" }}'
- - '{{ "sunroom_light" if is_state("light.sunroom_ceiling", "off") else "volume_slider" }}'
custom_keys:
sunroom_light:
icon: >-
{{ iif(is_state("light.sunroom_ceiling", "on"), "mdi:ceiling-light",
"mdi:ceiling-light-outline") }}
service: light.toggle
data:
entity_id: light.sunroom_ceiling
style:
color: |
{% if is_state("light.sunroom_ceiling", "on") %}
rgb({{ state_attr("light.sunroom_ceiling", "rgb_color") }})
{% endif %}
Note: You still need to use VALUE for slider service call data.

Hi @Nerwyn, thanks a lot for your amazing card, works like a charm!
Here my custom config for a Samsung SmartTV, integrated with HA using ha-samsungtv-smart (GitHub - ollo69/ha-samsungtv-smart: šŗ Home Assistant SamsungTV Smart Component with simplified SmartThings API Support configurable from User Interface.).
Hope it can help other using this amazing card!

Searched a bit and am having trouble with one thing. Is there a way to define a source button for Kodi? I havenāt managed to figure it out yet.
Iāve got a Sony XR 65a83j, and it has the function to turn off the screen (while leaving the TV itself on) in the TV hotbar, a very handy function for using TV to play music. Do you know if and how it would be possible to configure this to have it as a dedicated button I can press on my phone to turn off the screen?
Also I have an app āTV Broā, which is essentially a browser on my TV. Any idea how I can pull this browser app source, and also navigate inside of it via my mobile phone (is there even a way to just navigate via āmouseā, but via mobile?)
Hello Nerwyn
Thanks for the great work. I started using your card a few weeks ago. I tried your latest nunchuck update to animate buttons. I dont know why the new buttons work on my galaxy tab-s3 tablet but they donāt work on my laptop and s22ultra phone. Actually the icons dont show up on the card but they work when you touch on their supposed places on the screen.
Can you please advice how can I solve this problem
This is a picture from the non working version from my laptop, Normally the card is full of buttons but the buttons with conditional icons with nunchucks dont show up. only buttons with normal icons show up.
99% of the time Inconsistent behavior between modern devices is a caching issue. Have you tried clearing browser cache on or restarting the non-working devices?
Not sure what a TV hotbar is, but youād have to figure out if this command is being sent via IR, RF, ADB, the remote API, or something Sony proprietary, and then figure out if itās possible to call that from Home Assistant.
For creating new sources, see this thread: Android TV Remote - App Links/Deep Linking - Guide. Iām also not sure about 1:1 mouse control on Android TV. I know itās possible on Windows using Unified Remote, but I donāt think the 1:1 mouse capability of that is possible on Home Assistant.
Iām not a Kodi user, but if there is a way to do it it would be in the Kodi JSON-RPC API documentation.
Thx to this project, very cool and handy to control my media devices.

Not sure what a TV hotbar is
essentially on the Sony Bravia TV remote thereās a button (gear icon) that when pressed displays a small bar on the bottom of the TV with some pre-configured options (to quickly switch picture / audio modes, change brightness but also to just turn off the screen). I guess itās just a collection of specific functions that are in the main settings as well, but just presented to you in an easier accessible way.
Unfortunately Iām out of my depth to even begin trying to find out how to figure out how that command is being sent to the TV
You should look into the Sony Bravia TV Home Assistant integration and see if it does what you need. If not you could also look into a smart IR remote like a Broadlink (which I personally use for TV and AV receiver controls) to learn and send IR and RF remote commands.
Right you are, in the log I found that āPictureOffā corresponds to the key command to turn off the screen. Tried it via Developer Tools ā Service Calls ā Remote:Send command and it works.
Now Iām trying to integrate into the custom card, but am struggling to correctly define th custom key. Could me out how to do it properly?
Hereās how the service call that works in developer tools looks like
service: remote.send_command
target:
entity_id:
- remote.sony_bravia_tv
device_id: []
area_id: []
data:
command: PictureOff
trying to implement it like this in the custom card:
type: custom:android-tv-card
remote_id: remote.sony_xr_65a83j
slider_id: media_player.sony_bravia_tv
keyboard_id: remote.sony_xr_65a83j_adb
title: Fernseher
custom_keys:
screen_off:

service: remote.send_command
target:
entity_id:
- remote.sony_bravia_tv
data:
command: PictureOff
rows:
- - back
- power
- home
- screen_off
but then I get the following error:
I tried to change the remote_id further up in the custom card, and then the command just works, but then I lose the functionality of the other commands youāve programmed
Your data block is an indent level too deep.
type: custom:android-tv-card
remote_id: remote.sony_xr_65a83j
slider_id: media_player.sony_bravia_tv

I also have my personal remote in popup controls using browser mod popup cards, card-mod, and layout-card media queries for horizontal and vertical layouts, which is opened via a regular Home Assistant button set to the remote entity.

Version 3.2.0 has just been released! This version changes custom action syntax to follow the Home Assistant actions format, and adds support for remappable double tap and hold actions for custom buttons. The following action types are now supported:
- key
- source
- call-service
- navigate
- url
Iāve also refactored and improved how double taps, holds, and touchpad swipes are processed so they now work on all platforms! You can use them on any chromium based or Firefox desktop browser, and the Home Assistant apps on Android and iPhone.
This release does deprecate a few fields related to remapping touchpad actions and changes the format of custom actions (formerly custom keys and sources), but old configurations should continue to work and get internally upgraded to work with the refactored tap/double tap/hold action logic.
