Why aren’t you using the web address I suggested? After the 8123, insert the rest of the address.
Try this:

Thanks for this. I am loving it.
I have expanded it a bit using decluttering templates to setup multiple rooms on one card. Just wanted to give back.
I have multiple situations.
Livingroom has a Roku TV. HA can control the volume. It also has a remote that has the find option.
Basement has a Roku stick in a TV that does not pass volume control through the HDMI port. And, the remote does not have the find option.
So, I setup two decluttering templates. One that does the remote. A second that does volume and find remote based on the settings used in the decluttering card.
This is the full dashboard in the Raw Configuration Editor.
It also shows the active application on the Roku.

We use Youtube TV subscription to watch TV. The Roku add-on does handle deep linking, but not just to change the channel.
I am working on more code for this to select channels from HA. But, it is annoying because it must restart Youtube TV to select the channel. I have a couple emails to support and they are not much ‘support’ 
I’ll post what I come up with when complete.
Are you aware of a way to add haptics to the remote on mobile devices? Other remote cards, etc seem to have this functionality. If you don’t mind, I may decide to contribute some effort to this as a minor QoL addition especially if there’s a known method.
Also, has anyone found the different parameters for making this its own card, instead of its own dashboard?
With regard to its being its own card - it IS its own card. As discussed above, I don’t think it can be manipulated via the UI, but you can cut and paste the code as a card like any other card using the raw configuration editor. I organized it the way I did in order to fine-tune the widths of the volume controls next to the Roku remote, but with a little tweaking, it’s totally a stand-alone card. (Try cutting and pasting the entire picture-elements card in the “cards” section.)
I’m not aware of the ability to control haptics on mobile devices via scripts in Home Assistant, but I haven’t looked hard for that functionality. If you can find any way of manipulating haptics via a script, it shouldn’t be hard to implement.
I have decided to start a new thread that points back here as it will certainly go into several things that lead away from your wonderful work.
I finally got a chance to make a post expanding on this great work by @NYZack.
It is mostly specific to YouTubeTV on Roku. I hope it can help someone.
