The `firetv` platform allows you to control a [Amazon Fire TV/stick](http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-DV83YW-Fire-TV/dp/B00U3FPN4U).
|
|
|
|
The python-firetv Python 2.x module with its helper script that exposes a HTTP server to fetch state and perform actions is used.
|
|
|
|
Steps to configure your Amazon Fire TV stick with Home Assistant:
|
|
|
|
- Turn on ADB Debugging on your Amazon Fire TV:
|
|
- From the main (Launcher) screen, select Settings.
|
|
- Select System > Developer Options.
|
|
- Select ADB Debugging.
|
|
- Find Amazon Fire TV device IP:
|
|
- From the main (Launcher) screen, select Settings.
|
|
- Select System > About > Network.
|
|
- The following commands must be run in a Python 2.x environment. They will allow the component to function in an Ubuntu 16.04/Hassbian environment.
|
|
- `apt-get install swig libssl-dev python-dev libusb-1.0-0 python-yaml`
|
|
- `pip install flask`
|
|
- `pip install https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/M/M2Crypto/M2Crypto-0.24.0.tar.gz`
|
|
- `pip install firetv[firetv-server]`
|
|
- `firetv-server -d <fire tv device IP>:5555`, background the process
|
|
- Navigate to http://localhost:5556/devices/list
|
|
- You will get an output similar to below:
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"devices": {
|
|
"default": {
|
|
"host": "192.168.1.153:5555",
|
|
"state": "play"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
- The `"default"` above is the device name you will need to use for your `configuration.yaml`
|
|
- Configure Home Assistant as follows:
|
|
|
|
To add FireTV to your installation, Note your device name, and add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
media_player:
|
|
- platform: firetv
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **host** (*Optional*): The host where `firetv-server` is running. Default is localhost.
|
|
- **port** (*Optional*): The port where `firetv-server` is running. Default is 5556.
|
|
- **device** (*Optional*): The device ID. Defaults to `default`.
|
|
- **name** (*Optional*): The friendly name of the device, default is 'Amazon Fire TV'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p class='note warning'>
|
|
Note that python-firetv has support for multiple Amazon Fire TV devices. If you have more than one configured, be sure to specify the device ID in `device`. Run `firetv-server -h` and/or view the source for complete capabilities.
