SURVEY: Customizable commands used

[ollo69]

I open this survey with the purpose to collect the customizable command used in the configuration option. This would probably help to understand the right command to use for different AndroidTV models and find a method to implement this in backend library.

Please provide:

• Model and manufacturer of your AndroidTV device
• Customizable command configured

Thanks.

Onn Android TV with OS 10
current app:
dumpsys activity a . | grep -E 'mResumedActivity' | cut -d ' ' -f 8 | cut -d '/' -f 1
** this untested with your custom component, it was merely what I figured out using adb_response with official component.

(I am not an expert with this type of coding (grep, etc) but this is what I figured out so far)

[glassbase]

Based on my experience with this Onn with OS 10 with official component: app_id, app_name, source is never populated. So do we need a way to create custom command to get current app?

GET_PROPERTIES from official component:

{
  "screen_on": true,
  "awake": true,
  "audio_state": "paused",
  "wake_lock_size": 4,
  "current_app": null,
  "media_session_state": null,
  "audio_output_device": "hdmi",
  "is_volume_muted": false,
  "volume": 15,
  "running_apps": [
    "com.android.systemui",
    "com.google.android.inputmethod.latin",
    "com.google.android.tv.remote.service",
    "com.google.process.gservices",

Hey guys! I'm the one with the TCL c725. I've used the HA-androidtv11 hack but now changed to this as it seems to work a little better. @ollo69 I was using your samsung integration before changing my now defunct samsung for this new TCL! Your work is great!

Let me know what I can do to help gather more information. At this time I'll report some things that I already tried:

Model name: TCL c725 with android 11 (Google TV). On Android, the model reads as "Smart TV Pro"

Here's the properties using this custom component:

adb_response: com.tcl.tv
hdmi_input: TV
friendly_name: Android TV 192.168.3.38
supported_features: 23997
source_list:
  - com.google.android.gms
  - com.android.systemui
  - com.tcl.bi:service
  - com.google.android.ext.services
  - com.tcl.usercenter
  - com.google.android.tv.remote.service
  - com.google.android.katniss:search
  - com.android.providers.media.module
  - Google TV Launcher
  - com.android.providers.tv
  - com.google.process.gapps
  - com.tcl.inputmethod.international
  - com.tcl.xian.StartandroidService
  - com.google.android.youtube.tv.recommendations
  - com.google.process.gservices
  - com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx:coreservices
  - Google Cast
  - com.google.android.gms.persistent
  - com.google.android.apps.mediashell:privileged_process0
  - com.google.android.katniss:interactor
  - de.cyberdream.androidtv.notifications.google
volume_level: 0.13
is_volume_muted: false
app_id: 'de.cyberdream.androidtv.notifications.google}:'
app_name: 'de.cyberdream.androidtv.notifications.google}:'
source: 'de.cyberdream.androidtv.notifications.google}:'
entity_picture: >-
  /api/media_player_proxy/media_player.android_tv_192_168_3_38?token=<REDACTED>&cache=1652890527.092747

ADB response was using @glassbase command
dumpsys activity a . | grep -E 'mResumedActivity' | cut -d ' ' -f 8 | cut -d '/' -f 1

Full resumed activity:
'mResumedActivity: ActivityRecord{d310a3b u0 com.tcl.tv/.TVActivity t478}'

What works:
On/Off button
Play/Pause button
Volume +
Volume -
Source changing

What does not work:
Entity and device not listed on ADB send command service interface
Volume slider (gets the current volume but does not set values)
States are weird
app_id
app_name
source
Entity picture blinks and turns dark to try and get the next picture

Here I'm just adding to standard integration the customizable commands implemented by @JeffLIrion in AndroidTV library. I hope that this thread and this repository can help to provide additional suggestion for the library and come back to original HA integration.

• Model and manufacturer of your AndroidTV device

Specifically, what is needed is the output of this command:

https://github.com/JeffLIrion/python-androidtv/blob/043bbb5bf72717f40fde7ea3d4bb776293c49005/tests/test_constants.py#L119

getprop ro.product.manufacturer && getprop ro.product.model && getprop ro.serialno && getprop ro.build.version.release

[kauelima]

Specifically, what is needed is the output of this command:

Hey @JeffLIrion! In my TCL c725 that's the result:

adb_response: |-
  TCL
  Smart TV Pro
  d80140df0a50330ed
  11

I don't know how to run the whole script you linked to get this info, but if you need me to do it just direct me on how to and I'll do it!
