Ok people here’s a new one for ya - unless someone has this info and wants to share.
I’m not looking to “control” my fire tv I want to GET status from it. More specifically I want to get detailed status of what app is running (amazon, netflix, hulu etc) and I want to know what remote button is pressed. Up,down,left,right,volume up/down and most important enter/return/play/pause. The play/pause to me is the most important.
I’ve thought of using a standard IR remote with FLIRC to capture the IR signals. Yes this will work. But I’m looking/hoping for a way to get this information and either have it sent via MQTT or maybe it’s already there and hidden some place and a little background process could be setup to POST this information somewhere.
Thoughts? Ideas?
