Yes and no. It did work in the beginning. Then I started home assistant and tried tinkering around a bit since I got that error message and suddenly it stopped working. I could still hit adb connect ip and it would tell me that it connected successfully, but it didn’t show up in the devices list and I couldn’t shell into it anymore.
Then I’ve turned the adb option off and on again in the Fire TV settings and voila, it worked again, so I was able to open a shell. Then I restarted home assistant, and now I get a different error message:

Maybe something interesting to note: I couldn’t get the “confirm adb connection” screen to show up on my Fire TV. I know that screen from connecting to other adb devices, but here it won’t show up. Probably because I already connected to it a few months ago (if I remember correctly), but yeah… I also couldn’t find an option to reset trusted devices. Would it help to delete the keyfile maybe?
Update: So it turns out, removing the adbkey and connecting to the device again forces it to prompt that dialog again, so I made sure to accept it properly. But unfortunately, that doesn’t solve the problem…

. I don’t know if there’s any more that can be done in the component to overcome the limitations of the
