Home Assistant Community Add-on: ADB - Android Debug Bridge

kirpat · April 2, 2019, 7:52am

Dear i updated media_player.py basety.py and androidtv.py.

volume change works from androidtv box to HA
but from HA to androidboxtv
if i drag my volume slider to max or min or 3 steps it just make 1(single) step change in androidtv box.

JeffLIrion · April 2, 2019, 2:11pm

Here’s my theory.

Let’s say your max volume on your Android TV device is 15, and let’s say that your current volume is 3.

HA does an update and calculates your volume as 3/15 = 0.2.
You slide the volume slider to 0.6 = 9/15.
The set_volume_level sends an ADB command to your device like the one above, which will perform a volume up command every second for a total of 6 volume up commands.
In the component, I tried to tell it that the volume level should now be 0.6 = 9/15. However, I think HA performs an update after sending the set_volume_level command. At the time of the update, the volume has only been bumped once, so HA sees the volume as 0.266667 = 4/15.

I think that if you wait for the next update (maybe 10-30 seconds) and don’t do anything, the volume will then show as 0.6 = 9/15, as desired.

Can you check whether this theory is right. Of course, the actual numbers will depend on what your device’s max volume is. But if you wait and the volume in HA does get updated to what you expect, then that confirms my theory.

I tried,
waited for 30 to 40 secs,
But it changed single step.
If I change volume from min to max or any value in android tv box, it does reflect volume in HA,
But didn’t worked from HA to Androidtv box, moves only single step and not in multiple of steps.

I’m pretty much stumped. You could try:

settings get system volume_music

Note the output in the HA log. Then:

settings put system volume_music 10

Or some other number.

How exactly do you do this on Hass.io? Is it not a core component and therefore updatable with a new hass.io version?

JeffLIrion · April 3, 2019, 12:46pm

Download the contents of this androidtv folder and put them in /config/custom_components/androidtv.

But you can also help by testing out the ADB commands in my previous post using the androidtv.adb_command service.

Updated to hassio 91.0.

I have removed the custom component androidtv. Running Android Debug Bridge - Home Assistant

Getting this error message.

I’ll fix this.

Superimo88 · April 4, 2019, 5:36pm

Same error after updating to 0.91

sunglass_guy · April 5, 2019, 3:05pm

same error, can we get around this by using it as a custom component again until it’s fixed?

JeffLIrion · April 5, 2019, 3:43pm

Yes.

Not sure when it stopped to work, but does anyone have a woking intent for twitch?
My latest one dont seem to work anymore, all the other ones i have (youtube, kodi and so on) works still.

{"entity_id" :"media_player.shield", "command": "am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d -n tv.twitch.android.app/tv.twitch.android.apps.TVLandingActivity"}

It might be since there was an update of twitch to the new GUI on the shield?

I use an app called STBEmu and it has these colored coded buttons that some Android Boxes have on their remote: Yellow, Green, Blue and Red

Anyone knows the codes for these? Tried the following but it doesn’t work…

I think that because it is an emulation app, you have to map these buttons within the application (settings->configure key maps->BTN_RED to long press 1 etc…) and then use the mapped button for the command

JeffLIrion · May 3, 2019, 2:20pm

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html#KEYCODE_PROG_BLUE

Try using either of the following as the command for blue:

'KEYCODE_PROG_BLUE'
'input keyevent 186'

Hi there,

I had adb addon worked but after upgrade to newest HA and Newest ADB addon, it stopped work.

I have error HA log:

Could not connect to NVIDIA TV at 192.168.0.230:5555 using ADB server at 192.168.0.250:5037
Platform androidtv not ready yet. Retrying in 150 seconds.

And on ADB addon there are constantly that messages:

[12:41:12] INFO: Starting the Android Debug Bridge server...

My config is very simple:

{
"devices": [
"192.168.0.230"
],
"reconnect_timeout": 600
}

What went wrong?
