I’m using this card successfully for a HiSense A65K Series TV. I’m using the Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 device model. All of the default buttons work including the app launch buttons. I have sniffed ADB commands to change this TVs input and I can do so via home assistant. I’d like to add a button to the remote that I can link to the script to change inputs as necessary. I know I can override one of the existing buttons, but they’re all functional at the moment. Is there an existing way to add buttons or override app launch buttons possibly?
Incredible! This integration is absolutely amazing and works perfectly with my GoogleTV. Congratulations Doug on this achievement! I’m gladly incorporating it into my dashboard.

I have the Android TV Remote integration for my Shield TV. The instructions for Firemote seem to indicate that is all I need and to select the remote entity, but I only seem to get an error asking for the android debug bridge. Do I still need to maintain the debug bridge integration?
Thank you so much for your kind words! It brightens my day to hear from people like you.

@dragonsoul84 yes, you need the Android Debug Bridge integration. Can you tell me where you found the instructions you are talking about? What you described is not what the official documentation says about setup in the Firemote GitHub repository:
You’re welcome Doug. Your massive effort truly deserves such kind words 
Here is I integrated your amazing card in my dashboard : it popups in full screen and automatically closes whenever I click outside the card

I misunderstood step 3 to mean that for Android devices you could use the integration instead of debug bridge. I have setup the debug bridge since my post and the remote is working perfect. I believe I have read in a post in a HA forum where they said, inaccurately I now know, that the android TV integration was all that was needed. That must have skewed my perception of the instructions.
@neilimixamo That’s beautiful! I hope you don’t mind, but I added it to the project’s “show and tell” section here: Let's See Your Dashboards! · PRProd/HA-Firemote · Discussion #129 · GitHub

@dragonsoul84 - Hmmm… I can see how my words might be a bit confusing. Thanks for letting me know. I’ll work on a re-write to clarify.
That is very clear. I don’t think there can be any misunderstanding now.

@sdholden28 - I hear what you’re saying, but I think that the better approach would be to investigate proper support for the HiSense A65K Series TV itself. Could I ask you to post a link to your exact TV, especially if it contains pictures of the physical remote control as well?
Of course! I was trying not to ask for too much. I’ll submit a device support request on the GitHub page.
I just want to say thank you, I’m semi new but getting by. This in my opinion is awesome, I had hiccups at first but it was because my app showed 2 living room shields. Once I switched it, the functionality came alive and I was mind blown at how easy it was. Everything worked with a small exception, when i click the menu button only the menu is displayed no mater what. I set it so the recently used apps show up so I can close them. Any fix/?
My apologies, I might not be understanding your question properly.
The expected behavior when pressing the menu button is for the menu to appear. If you also want the option for recently used apps, you can add that functionality with an app button like this:
That was it exactly, thank you for the help and thank you soo much for this wonderful integration!

I have the 4k fire stick, and the buttons don’t work. The only buttons that working for me are home, back, and app buttons but nothing else is working. Any suggestions or solutions? Thank you
Welcome to the community @reconslayz!
Have you had an opportunity to try the troubleshooting steps listed in the FAQ section in the Firemote GitHub Page? Take a look at https://github.com/PRProd/HA-Firemote#faq under the headings of " Why won’t the volume, mute, and/or power buttons work from my Firemote card?" and " Why don’t any of the buttons on the Firemote work at all?" to see if any of that is helpful.
Please let me know either way, and I’d be more than happy to help you further if you need it!
How do I button override the following buttons:
up-button
left-button
center-button
right-button
down-button
Sorry i don’t know how to code
