I would like to request a service added to the DirecTV component that incorporates more commands that can be used to control the satellite receivers. An example would be something like the Androidtv ADB addon on…
action:
service: androidtv.adb_command
data:
entity_id: media_player.androidtv_tv_living_room
command: "HOME"
but instead be like the following…
action:
service: directv.command
data:
entity_id: media_player.directv_living_room
command: "GUIDE"
Here is a link to the available commands:
