I was experimenting tv-card recently for my Samsung Smart TV and also met Touchpad-Card and also took a try of it for a while.
Both of them are really cool but, for me, not cool enough to pick only one of them and stuck with it.
What i was missing in tv-card was some haptic feedbacks and the genius touchpad from Touchpad-Card (which has haptic feedback)
In touchpad-card i was missing the keys and customization of tv-card
Then i decided to do some modifications in tv-card to bring the touchpad and haptic feedback, but then i got some other ideas and ended up in creating this cool fork of tv-card which has:
Haptic feedback on every interaction (with my favorite being on the slider mentioned below)
I am finally getting around to playing with this though I am having some trouble integrating a Roku tv with it. Right now I am just trying to figure out how to send the power command. here is what I have:
@mdb17 there’s no “action” neither “target” in the params. The documentation for custom buttons describe how to call services within buttons. It’s not the same format of developer menu.
This should work:
Is it possible to customize the touchpad part of this card to operate some media player other than the Samsung tv? While all buttons can be modified, there is no instruction of how to modify the use of the touchpad part.
I second this. Thought I hit the jackpot when I found this project. Sadly, after hours of fiddling I also cant figure this out. Touchpad is definitely the way to go for navigation.
Hey, I don’t know if you still need a touchpad but I was able to modify the tv-card from this thread to work with services. I also got it working with desktop applications which was fun to implement. Here’s a screenshot:
I’m super interested! I was trying to get this to work with Android TV and service calls last night.
Edit: Nevermind. Got tired of waiting and made my own fork that supports Android TV. The originals are so well made that I barely had to modify anything.
It’s the best control I’ve used ever, but may be we can get a wake-on-lan feature like the smart things integration? Power on doesn’t work with your control, if the TV was off for more than 4h and not in deep sleep anymore. It’s off.
