Nothing is ever simple.
So in my quest to get HA to launch a MagicMirror2 display on my primary TV every morning, I have stumbled upon a lot of interesting challenges on this journey. Most all have been overcome, but the latest is stumping me a bit. It would seem that there should be a simple solution, but lets see.
I currently have an automation that:
- Powers up the xbox (Remote.)
- Powers up the samsung tv
- Powers up Receiver + switches source
- Presses “A” on the xbox controller (When the xbox boots, Edge is selected at startup) to launch edge
- Press “VIEW” to get a fullscreen view
It is this last step that is not working. It seems that once Edge is launched, I can not seem to get any of the xbox remote button presses to work. I am not sure if it is because it is now looking for a keyboard input? I know the “VIEW” button will bring it to full screen and back, but I lose all controller functions it seems.
