Getting Device Input Details

In order to discover the best and fastest way for Home Assistant to communicate with an android device, we can send a simple adb command to the device and examine the output.

adb shell dumpsys input

It is possible to execute this command through the Home Assistant UI in just a few steps:

  1. Open Developer Tools
  2. Click the SERVICES Tab
  3. Select Android Debug Bridge: ADB command service
  4. Choose your device by clicking on the Choose Entity button
  5. Enter adb shell dumpsys input into the command field
  6. Click the CALL SERVICE button

  1. Click over to the Developer Tools STATES tab
  2. Scroll down until you find the entity that you sent the command to in step 4. To help find your entity faster, you can try typing its name into the Filter Entities field
  3. The contents of the Attributes field contains your device's response to the ADB command. If you are running this command as someone's request, you will want to copy the entire contents on this field. It will be lengthy, and will require you to scroll down.

Using this example, if I needed to post this data into a issue or a comment thread, this is what it would look like:

source_list: com.amazon.tv.inputpreference.service
app_id: com.amazon.tv.inputpreference.service
source: com.amazon.tv.inputpreference.service
