Native support for Android TV / Android devices

Does anybody know how to turn on / off Ambilight + Hue on a philips android TV using this component?

Molodax · February 16, 2019, 9:27pm

I tried to use it with Philips TV 55POS900212 and experience the same issue when it correctly shows which app is running but it doesn’t change idle status to playing when the app is actually playing. I can provide details if it helps to debug it.

Hello everyone,
I have the mibox and the components wich works well.
But the original remote is broken so I replace it by USB remote.

Activate USB debugging in the mibox completely deactivate all remote connected to the mibox.

An idea ?

You should use your smartphone to control it.
Search for Android TV Remote control. Works perfectly for me.

fix for 0.88.0:
the include at line 33

from homeassistant.components.media_player import (
    DOMAIN, MediaPlayerDevice, PLATFORM_SCHEMA, SUPPORT_NEXT_TRACK,
    SUPPORT_PAUSE, SUPPORT_PLAY,
    SUPPORT_PREVIOUS_TRACK, SUPPORT_STOP, SUPPORT_TURN_OFF,
    SUPPORT_TURN_ON, SUPPORT_VOLUME_MUTE, SUPPORT_VOLUME_STEP)

becomes:

from homeassistant.components.media_player import ( DOMAIN,
    MediaPlayerDevice, PLATFORM_SCHEMA)
from homeassistant.components.media_player.const import (
    SUPPORT_NEXT_TRACK, SUPPORT_PAUSE, SUPPORT_PLAY,
    SUPPORT_PREVIOUS_TRACK, SUPPORT_STOP, SUPPORT_TURN_OFF,
    SUPPORT_TURN_ON, SUPPORT_VOLUME_MUTE, SUPPORT_VOLUME_STEP)

Hello I’m a Hass.io user and tried setting this up in version 0.87.1. I get the following error even though the ADB addon is showing connectivity to my AndroidTV. Any ideas anyone? I’ve tried deleting the deps folder and letting it rebuild. I’m using the latest androidtv.py file (.0.0.7) so at a loss at the moment.

Klagio · February 21, 2019, 1:03pm

I guess is not yet fixed in github

pier · February 21, 2019, 1:04pm

go up a few messages, I wrote a simple fix. and yes it’s not committed yet =)

ThaNerd · February 21, 2019, 2:14pm

Is this simple fix available? I keep getting “Platform not found: media_player.androidtv” after updating to 0.88.0

ocso · February 21, 2019, 2:28pm

I hope this migration guide helps: https://developers.home-assistant.io/blog/2019/02/19/the-great-migration.html

pier · February 21, 2019, 4:26pm

create a folder named androidtv in custom_components
put androidtv.py into custom_components/androidtv and rename it to media_player.py

ThaNerd · February 21, 2019, 7:59pm

my file is now at: /config/custom_components/androidtv/media_player.py

Still getting this error: Platform not found: media_player.androidtv

fahr · February 21, 2019, 9:07pm

You might need to add an empty file in the androidtv directory named __init__.py.

The other error is due to imports changing. This line from homeassistant.components.media_player import ( needs to become from homeassistant.components.media_player.const import (

ThaNerd · February 21, 2019, 10:25pm

Didn’t help…

jc15 · February 21, 2019, 10:48pm

Tried all the same, upgraded to .88 made the changes pier and fahr suggested and getting the device offline error still. I even tried the suggestion made way further back by Kyle: Native support for Android TV / Android devices

Still getting this error, any help would be appreciated:

ThaNerd · February 21, 2019, 11:44pm

So I did the changes that fahr mentioned but with the following file setup: /config/custom_components/media_player/androidtv.py

Now I get this error: Package androidtv setup failed. Component media_player cannot be merged. Expected a dict.

Kyle · February 21, 2019, 11:53pm

I did all of the changes above, but it wasn’t until I deleted the deps folder and rebooted 2 or 3 times to compiled new deps that it started working.

Picnic · February 22, 2019, 12:19am

Did you delete the deps folder each time you restarted?
I’m still getting the following error:
