Home Assistant Community Add-on: ADB - Android Debug Bridge

Download the contents of this androidtv folder and put them in /config/custom_components/androidtv.

But you can also help by testing out the ADB commands in my previous post using the androidtv.adb_command service.

Updated to hassio 91.0.

I have removed the custom component androidtv. Running Android Debug Bridge - Home Assistant

Getting this error message.

Same error after updating to 0.91

Not sure when it stopped to work, but does anyone have a woking intent for twitch?
My latest one dont seem to work anymore, all the other ones i have (youtube, kodi and so on) works still.

{"entity_id" :"media_player.shield", "command": "am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d -n tv.twitch.android.app/tv.twitch.android.apps.TVLandingActivity"}

It might be since there was an update of twitch to the new GUI on the shield?

I use an app called STBEmu and it has these colored coded buttons that some Android Boxes have on their remote: Yellow, Green, Blue and Red

Anyone knows the codes for these? Tried the following but it doesn’t work…

  - type: horizontal-stack
    cards:
      - type: custom:card-modder
        card:
          type: entity-button
          icon: mdi:disk
          name: "BLUE"
          entity: media_player.shield
          hold_action: none
          tap_action:
            action: call-service
            service: androidtv.adb_command
            service_data:
              entity_id: media_player.shield
              command: "PROG_BLUE"
        style:
          background-color: rgba(56,60,69,1)
          border-radius: 20px
          border: solid 3px rgba(118,185,0,1)
          box-shadow: 3px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.4)
      - type: custom:card-modder
        card:
          type: entity-button
          icon: mdi:disk
          name: "GREEN"
          entity: media_player.shield
          hold_action: none

        style:
          background-color: rgba(56,60,69,1)
          border-radius: 20px

          box-shadow: 3px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.4)

I think that because it is an emulation app, you have to map these buttons within the application (settings->configure key maps->BTN_RED to long press 1 etc…) and then use the mapped button for the command

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html#KEYCODE_PROG_BLUE

Try using either of the following as the command for blue:

  • 'KEYCODE_PROG_BLUE'
  • 'input keyevent 186'

Hi there,

I had adb addon worked but after upgrade to newest HA and Newest ADB addon, it stopped work.

I have error HA log:

Could not connect to NVIDIA TV at 192.168.0.230:5555 using ADB server at 192.168.0.250:5037
Platform androidtv not ready yet. Retrying in 150 seconds.

And on ADB addon there are constantly that messages:

[12:41:12] INFO: Starting the Android Debug Bridge server...

My config is very simple:

{
"devices": [
"192.168.0.230"
],
"reconnect_timeout": 600
}

What went wrong?

That worked thanks!

same issue here. it stopped working after updating ADB addon.
I have the same error log

I have the same issue. After updating the add-on, I got the same error message. Both devices, my Nvidia Shield as well as the Amazon Fire TV are not available anymore.

:tada: Release v0.4.1

Full Changelog

This release fixes an issue with the Android Debug Bridge crashing on start (mainly ARMv7/Raspberry Pi).
It does this by downgrading the adb package since there is no workaround available.
No functionality is lost by this downgrade from the perspective of this add-on.

:hammer: Changes

  • :ambulance: :arrow_down: Downgrades adb to 7.0.0+r33-2 (#12)

Thanks @frenck for very quick fix.
Hope people know snapshots, usually there is always possibility to roll back addon, however always remember or setup automation :wink: to make snapshot before upgrade.
As a noob I learnt that hard way but now I am smart :wink:

How to automate backup before update of any addon as well as homeassistant?
Guide
Thanks
