Firestick Dashboard

Android TV / Fire TV dashboard client for the Ivy dashboard server.

MVP features

• Full-screen dashboard for Fire TV / Fire Stick
• Polls GET /api/state
• Optional API key via X-API-Key
• Displays weather, headlines, watchlist, portfolio, and last update time
• D-pad friendly refresh action

Server

Default primary server URL:

• http://10.0.1.90:8000/api/state

Fallback Tailscale URL:

• https://rob-mac-mini-dashboard.tail5d56a7.ts.net/api/state

The app reads configuration from gradle.properties:

DASHBOARD_BASE_URL=http://10.0.1.90:8000/
DASHBOARD_FALLBACK_BASE_URL=https://rob-mac-mini-dashboard.tail5d56a7.ts.net/
DASHBOARD_API_KEY=

The app tries the local URL first, then falls back to the Tailscale URL.

If DASHBOARD_API_KEY is empty, the app sends no auth header.

Build

Open in Android Studio Hedgehog or newer.

1. Sync Gradle
2. Optionally set DASHBOARD_API_KEY in ~/.gradle/gradle.properties or project gradle.properties
3. Run on a Fire TV / Android TV device
4. If using the Tailscale URL, the client device must be on the same Tailscale tailnet and have working .ts.net DNS resolution

Notes

• This repo was scaffolded as an MVP client.
• SSE (/events) can be added next if live updates are preferred over polling.
