Thank you for filling out this form, @unc2k3 Looking over the data you sent me, it looks like event8 should work for your TV. Even if it doesn't, Strong (Slower) should always work. I wonder why it's not. 🤔 Since you say you've tried them all, let's keep looking. It could be the TV itself, or it could be the configuration you've been trying. Can you send me the YAML config for your Firemote card?

Here's the YAML:
type: custom:firemote-card
entity: remote.fire_tv_192_168_2_185
device_family: amazon-fire
device_type: fire_tv_4_series
compatibility_mode: default
app_launch_1: prime-video
app_launch_2: netflix
app_launch_3: spotify
app_launch_4: peacock
visible_name_text: Garage TV
name_position: bottom
visible_name_text_color: '#ff0000'
defaultRemoteStyle_override: AF5
Sincerely,
Keenan Holtvoigt

Thanks! Let's do some investigation BEFORE YOU START Please have your TV turned on and first press any button on your physical remote control. After confirming that your TV is on, and your physical remote is working, take a look at the Firemote card to confirm that the power light is lit.
If the power light on your Firemote is not lit, that means that you have selected the wrong Android Debug Bridge Entity: in your configuration. I'm almost positive that this is where your problem is. The entity name should begin with 'media_player' and not 'remote' If it is lit, then let's move on. Replace your YAML config with the following: type: custom:firemote-card
entity: remote.fire_tv_192_168_2_185
device_family: amazon-fire
device_type: fire_tv_4_series
compatibility_mode: event8
app_launch_1: prime-video
app_launch_2: netflix
app_launch_3: spotify
app_launch_4: peacock
visible_name_text: Garage TV
name_position: bottom
visible_name_text_color: '#ff0000'
defaultRemoteStyle_override: AF5Save your changes, and try it out. If that does not work, replace your YAML config with this following: type: custom:firemote-card
entity: remote.fire_tv_192_168_2_185
device_family: amazon-fire
device_type: fire_tv_4_series
compatibility_mode: strong
app_launch_1: prime-video
app_launch_2: netflix
app_launch_3: spotify
app_launch_4: peacock
visible_name_text: Garage TV
name_position: bottom
visible_name_text_color: '#ff0000'
defaultRemoteStyle_override: AF5Thank you for working with me on this. -Doug |

The power button is lit and I tried replacing the yaml with both configurations you sent. Still no luck on any of the inputs with the firemote card.

Interesting thing I also noticed is that the power button stays lit, even when the tv is off.

What other options do you have under your Android Debug Bridge Entity menu?
I edited my previous note, but you may not have seen that change:
|
|
That solved it. There were 2 entries for the ip address. I just selected the other one. |
|
YAY!! So, two questions left before I can continue:
|
|
I put it back on default rather than strong and it seems to be working great. The remote looks like AF5 with one exception, which is that the blue button at the top of the AF5 remote in HA shows a blue keyboard like button, whereas the remote I received with the tv has a blue Alexa icon button instead. As a side note, I've also got 2 Nvidia Sheilds. One works flawlessly and the other works with the exception of the volume buttons. Any idea what that might be? I've tried both ADB entities and switched between Remote and TV for the Associated Android TV Remote entity. Only the "Remote" gives me any functionality, but still not volume controls either way. Here's the YAML: I also just tried this config and still no volume controls: For reference, CEC is enabled. |

Since this issue thread is about adding the INSIGNIA F20 series to the supported devices list, I want to stick to that topic here. I opened a new discussion for your other questions.
If you're using device_type: fire_tv_4_seriesdefault is the same as selecting event0. From the data you sent me, I'm a little surprised that event0 works. Can you confirm that all of the buttons work under event0 and then compare those results with event8 ?
This is an intentional decision. Since I haven't found a way to emulate the Alexa button functionality for all Fire devices, I decided from the beginning to just replace the Alexa button with a Firemote keyboard button. It comes in very handy, I think. Others seem to like it too. |
|
Yes I can confirm all of the buttons are working on event0 and it appears to be no different on event8 |

Perfect! Thank you! I should be able to slip this request into the next beta release, which will be available very soon! I'll keep you posted. (click here if you are curious about that beta) |

None of the buttons work at all and I tried every single compatibility mode possible.
