Is there a Google / Android TV app? Is it possible to send messages to the TV just like the phone?

The aforementioned integration/application is for notifications only. If you’re looking for dashboards, you might explore a web browser application that will work on Google/Android TV. The current HA application does not work on Google/Android TV.

Any plans of migrating the phone app to the TV?

I’m not the app developer so I don’t know. Maybe someone else will chime in.

An interesting idea. For me, it won’t help since other members will not know how do that. I hope a TV app will be easy enough for them to use.

you can sideload the app, but the HA web interface is not designed to be controlled using the d-pad so its a bit tedious to move around

I don’t know if there will ever be resourcing for that but it would be amazing if a tailored HA app existed for Google TV :slight_smile:

I’m curious, what’s the use case for this? What would you control from the remote on your TV that you wouldn’t write an automation for?

Dashboards. Also not every single corner case can be automated - I don’t know if you’d want to control anything from your TV necessarily but having the option would be nice. But to me the coolest use case would be having a dashboard. I can absolutely see tinkerers even repurposing old TVs to run ma…

Yes or run a browser TV app, but I don’t think it quite works the same as a native solution would.
