This blueprint allows you to easily trigger actions for all of the keypresses that the Emulated Roku integration supports. This is commonly used when integrating with smart remotes (like the Logitech Harmony line).

Thanks for this. I am trying to re-jig this template to also be able to capture and assign the app launch function of the emulated roku (for my new sofabaton). I’ve copied it and changed the bits that I think need changing, but I can’t quite get it to work. Would you be able to look over this and see what I might be doing wrong?

I have used info in this topic to manually edit the launch app_ids for scripts and scenes around my home. I can do it all manually with an automation and using triggers but that is much harder to maintain and update etc than using a blueprint as I am up to 18 app_ids.
I think one of the problems is the app_id’s that get passed from the roku_command events are presented within quotations, where-as the key presses are not. eg.
event_type: roku_command
data:
source_name: Home Assistant
type: launch
app_id: "8"
origin: LOCAL
time_fired: "2024-06-02T12:08:42.436069+00:00"
context:
id: XXX
parent_id: null
user_id: null
event_type: roku_command
data:
source_name: Home Assistant
type: keypress
key: Info
origin: LOCAL
time_fired: "2024-06-02T12:08:50.355953+00:00"
context:
id: XXX
parent_id: null
user_id: null
Can’t figure out how to get that passed along this blueprint so it calls the correct action.
Hi Rohan, have been using you blueprint for quite a while with Harmony remote. Now I’ve switched to Sofabaton XS1 and had the need for more buttons. I guess the number of buttons supported in emulated Roku has been extended over the last couple of years. So I’ve created an Emulated Roku Extended blueprint with the additional buttons:
emulated_app_1
emulated_app_2
emulated_app_3
emulated_app_4
emulated_app_5
emulated_app_6
emulated_app_7
emulated_app_8
emulated_app_9
inputạv1
inputhdmi1
inputhdmi2
inputhdmi3
inputhdmi4
inputtuner
ok
poweron
poweroff
volumedown
volumemute
volumeup
I will provide the full code in a second comment. Would you be willing to include this in the original blueprint? Of shall I create a new one for this?
By the way, the extended blueprint can be saved in \config\blueprints\automation\ as yaml file (emulated_roku_extended.yaml for instance) and then an existing automation based on the blueprint can be upgraded. Best way is to open the blueprint based automation in yaml edit mode and update the location and name of the blueprint to the name and location used for the extended script.
