I have this set up by just using the sections view, then in each remote card section, set the visibility to be dependent on the input selected.
For example set the visibility of the Apple TV card for entity state of your input to be Apple TV etc etc and you should then only ever see one remote card (that of your input).
Its pretty straight forward. I put each remote card as its own section on the dashboard. Then for each of those sections I configured the section visibility, which you can do in the visual editor, no need to tinker with the yaml.
For example in my case, the Apple TV remote card will only show if it is switched on, configured as below in the UI. The Apple TV can report “on”, “idle”, “paused” and a few other states when it is on, so I configured the card to show when it was not “off” or “standby”.
While that change in CSS styles template worked for changing the color of a button corresponding to state for an Android TV, it did not work for a Samsung TV. Any suggestions for where I went wrong? Thanks again!
I’ve added keyboard support for this platform to the 4.3.0 beta, but I do not have an LG webOS TV to actually test this on. I could really use help from users to validate that my LG webOS TV keyboard support implementation is working correctly!
See this section of the Home Assistant Android TV remote integration documentation. You should be able to use the media_player.play_media or remote.turn_on actions to open a specific video or playlist, and then create a button in this card to call that action.
Thanks.
so i treid it but when i use the action to open a specific link it opens in the cast app on the tv and i just have a blue chromcast logo on the tv. so it doesnt open the link in the youtube app
Love this card but one thing is missing for me, the tv input select button. I have an Android tv system and it would make the remote complete. Best thing would be a direct input to certain hdmi numbers, but the tv itself doesnt havae that.
Is it possible to open input menu? (Ie hdmi 1, hdmi 2 etc)
“you can enter text into which will be sent to your Android TV via ADB. Make sure to also create delete and enter buttons so you can easily remove and search for the text you enter.”*
THANKS for this!!! I have this working great on a Sony Bravia and I’m able to send text, press enter, and press Delete. Is there a way to automate the “enter” press right after the “Send text”?
I guess I don’t, since I don’t know what, “seamless keyboard mode” means… You did get me searching and I found that if I added Google Keyboard to by Samsung phone, I can now use the Microphone to enter the text and then send text… Just thought maybe I was missing something for adding commands together. Thanks for the response and the GREAT card!!!
Wow! Thanks. I added the Keyboard (enabled typing on TV screen) and it sends “enter” after Send but I can’t use voice to enter the text(the voice text want show on TV screen). Previously I only had textbox… With Text box I can use Microphone for voice entry of text and then hit Send and the Enter button. I’m real happy with Voice to text!!! I think I’ll stick with it. Thanks for your help.
I have an icon button with haptics on. When I click on the button a light gray circle flashes and fades which is good visual feedback, but how can I make that circle larger and perhaps change the color?
Add this to your global CSS styles (requires the latest patch version 4.3.4, I added some CSS variables for better ripple styling and fixed hover ripples).
