This is deeplink to play foxnews:
am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d dtvnow://deeplink.directvnow.com/play/channel/FNCHD/5f3323ab-7390-8fcc-177f-bf9cc8000bcf -n com.att.tv/com.clientapp.MainActivity
From that, a script to Tune to any channel … now this script includes assumption
in my setup where I have naming conventions to parse data:
variables:
tv: media_player.office_vizio
callsign: FNCHD
channel_id: 5f3323ab-7390-8fcc-177f-bf9cc8000bcf
tvname: "{{(tv.split('.'))[1]}}"
firestick: media_player.{{(tvname.split('_'))[0]}}_fire_tv
ip: >-
{{state_attr('sensor.vizio_tvs','tvs') | selectattr('name','eq', tvname) |
map(attribute='ip') | join(',') }}
port: >-
{{state_attr('sensor.vizio_tvs','tvs') | selectattr('name','eq', tvname) |
map(attribute='port') | join(',') }}
auth: >-
{{state_attr('sensor.vizio_tvs','tvs') | selectattr('name','eq', tvname) |
map(attribute='auth') | join(',') }}
sequence:
- if:
- condition: template
value_template: "{{ is_state(tv, 'off') }}"
then:
- action: media_player.turn_on
metadata: {}
data: {}
target:
entity_id: "{{ tv }}"
- if:
- condition: template
value_template: "{{ is_state(firestick, 'off') }}"
then:
- action: media_player.turn_on
metadata: {}
data: {}
target:
entity_id: "{{ firestick }}"
- action: androidtv.adb_command
metadata: {}
data:
command: >-
am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d
dtvnow://deeplink.directvnow.com/play/channel/{{ callsign }}/{{
channel_id }} -n com.att.tv/com.clientapp.MainActivity
target:
entity_id: "{{ firestick }}"
enabled: true
- action: shell_command.vizio_directv
metadata: {}
target:
entity_id: "{{tv}}"
data:
ip: "{{ip}}"
port: "{{port}}"
auth: "{{auth}}"
alias: Tune DirecTV Channel
description: Tune DirecTV app on Firestick to specific channel
You would not have to go that deep, but the key is here:
- action: androidtv.adb_command
metadata: {}
data:
command: >-
am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d
dtvnow://deeplink.directvnow.com/play/channel/{{ callsign }}/{{
channel_id }} -n com.att.tv/com.clientapp.MainActivity
target:
entity_id: "{{ firestick }}"
enabled: true
So you need the callsigns and the channel_id’s from DirectTV.
I have those in a “static” sensor. I created that from an XML (original JSON taken from DirecTV website):

Happy to send anyone the data for this, Putting it together, I created a custom PAD to select any TV station:
Updated as I found the URL set for colo logos, put it into a scrollable and fiterable container:
