Mark, I don’t comment often, but I wanted to thank you for your great content. I just moved my whole smart home into HA a month ago, and your videos have been invaluable-especially in getting different services to work together. Your HA-Alexa videos have been especially valuable. Thanks!

@MarkWattTech 2 года назад

Thank you for the feedback. Happy to have helped 😁

@VPSmartTech 2 года назад

Very good video! I like the global search adb command, this is really helpful 👍

@ajithprabhakar 2 года назад

Great video again, your daughter is so cute... BTW I had assigned static up for pretty much all the smart home devices at home. These automation of inspiring me to use RF Id tags to change the source in my home theater. I added few automations in my home theater to trigger based on the state of my denon receiver such as turn on or off the lughts, looking forward to see more automation ideas from you

When someone wants to cast a clip to the lounge or bedroom TVs, they select the cast dongle they want to watch it on, the television and amplifier are turned on and the correct sources selected by a Broadlink RM4 ir blaster, the curtains are drawn if it's day time, the television's ambient backlight switches on softly along with the downlight directly over the sofa, the two downlights on the left and right of the screen turn on, glowing with a warm, soft light, the adjacent kitchen lights switch off but for the led strips around the kitchen island and breakfast bar (unless someone was in there) and when the clip is either paused or stopped, it resets the room in stages so that if anyone wants to follow it up with another clip, it won't take as long to start as it does in the initialisation automation. And the best part, if you were listening to a playlist or album on the room's squeezebox when the clip was first cast, it pauses the track and resumes it once the clip ends. Plus, if you've been joined by someone after the clip was cast, it will turn the Squeezebox volume down to conversational level upon resuming 🎧😎👍

Wow....I only stumbled on your channel through smarthomesolver referencing your room assistant videos, and boy I haven't stopped watching since. Such brilliant and awesome ideas!!!!! However I haven't seen any information on your past videos about the wall-display. It is super awesome and I would like to see more information on how you built it.

@zx1234r 2 года назад

I am so stupid. Yes it is done by casting the Lovelace dashboard, and no I didn't notice at first 😀

@Rich33527 2 года назад

I use home assistant with the Harmony hub to set surround sound mode via a Call Service: Send Remote command for each app we use in Roku. Some apps I use Pure Direct mode for Atmos sound and some I use Stereo mode. A couple apps I use auto surround since some of the shows differ in the feed to the stereo. I set the initial volume differently for each app using the Call Service: Set Volume command. If one of my cameras detect motion, like a person on the porch or a car in the driveway, it will pause the Roku and switch the TV input to show the relevant camera feed and then switch back after 10 seconds and resume play on the Roku. If the Roku is paused, it will bring up the lights to 50% and shut them back down when play is resumed. So much can be done to incorporate the TV into Home Assistant.

@bat3332 2 года назад

Great to see you all refreshed it would have been a complete circle of automation if you could have also provided the link to stl files to print those cards :)

The reader is made by Adonno. He has shared the files I believe to print your own :)

@traviscunningham9409 Год назад

So you showed me how to autoplay content on a media player - something I'd looked EVERYWHERE to find out how to do, but isn't explained well anywhere. I rarely comment but I wanted to thank you (and chip in for a coffee for you too).

@kraddoomsters 2 года назад

If your remote doesn't have a ringer, like my Harmony remote, you can stick a mini Tile on it. My favorite TV automation is to dim my lights to 30% when something starts playing and back to 100 when I pause or stop

@metalwolfy82 2 года назад

I had my old TV automated as it had a hacs addon which gave me access to everything I'd need (didn't start things automatically or anything). I recently switched to Sky Glass and its back in the stone age for automations again.

Looking at the global search, wondering if we can ask alexa to play a specific show? Example: Alexa, play hitmans bodyguard on netflix. Looking for it as using global search, we can only ask google assistant on tv to playa specific show. thank you

Thanks for another great video, might be worth nothing that on a CCWGTV you not only need to enable developer mode but you also need to enable USB debugging as well as otherwise HA will not connect.

@paulswan8511 Год назад

I have successfully added my Google TV and it shows the correct sources when displayed as a Lovelace card. However, when I go to developer tools and select adb commands, the target where you choose the device is empty. Tried restarting he assistant but still nothing shows. Anyone know how to fix this as I can't issue commands. Thanks

@BCKammen 2 года назад

FYI, this is working on my 2 Chromecast with Google TV's. Takes a couple of extra steps to turn on the developer mode, but got it done. To turn on the Dev mode: Settings > Device > About > Build There you press the select button 7 times and it turns on the Dev mode.

@MarkWattTech 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing 👌🏻

@yessi_r6537 2 года назад

Another step that you have to take with the Nvidia Shield is to enable network debugging as well under development options.

@nappyjim 2 года назад

I use Plex and when it works it's great but half the time I got a notification on the TV that it can't play the content. But anyway when it is working I have it set up so that when we turn on night mode it checks the sensors under our mattress to Make sure no one's already in their sleeping and if not part of the automation turns our TV in the master bedroom on and plays a random episode of Seinfeld on Plex. If I'm not sensed home it then plays a random episode of Frasier. If either of the sensors under the mattress are tripped it then won't turn the TV on.

@MrSilvann Год назад

It doesn't work for me well. Sometimes it just start Netflix with movie on screen but I need to press play. Sometimes is fine. I am using Shield Pro. Also if Netflix is currently playing something and I send command to play something different never works. Is going back to shield main menu or is turning on previous played app. Any idea?

@dab42bridges80 Год назад

Not mentioned in the video, but make sure you enable Network Debugging (ADB) in the Developer menu, otherwise the Android TV integration in Home Assistant won't configure/find the device.

@johndekoven7549 2 года назад

Mark, thanks for this awesome tips. I'm using a Firestick and it's not quite working so I'm wondering if you know if I need to change anything else in the code. On the Netflix one no matter what program ID I enter it plays the same movie (The HItmans Bodyguard). The Disney one doesn't work at all (I'm thinking maybe goes different search function than Android TV).

@keith-ds8vs 2 года назад

Netflix seems to work with my Firestick, but not the Disney or any search.

@karlmee1234 2 года назад

Random question, I'm new to using home assistant so sorry if its a silly question but is there a way to make ADB commands save into the list of sources once you have the android tv integration set up? Or is there a way to add the apps from my tv to the sources list?

@MarkWattTech 2 года назад

Heya :) Not 100% sure what you mean. Do you mean can you save a command for an app? If you meant saving the command for say switch tv input or open a set app etc you can do that by saving the command in a script.

@karlmee1234 2 года назад

@@MarkWattTech that's exactly what I meant but I'm unsure of how to do that

@MarkWattTech 2 года назад

@@karlmee1234 the best option would be to create a command you want to use as a script . E.g. open netflix. You can then call that script in an automation or if you wanted to just use it on the dashboard and be a little creative you could create a button and have the button press call the script. You could use a custom button and actually have the Netflix icon etc. Hope that helps.

@rhyshughes1317 Год назад

@@MarkWattTech Sorry to add to this. Would the script be in the automation or config.yaml file or somewhere else. Sorry just not sure how to do this. Can we import your command text into a script and save it or do we have to follow the gui script option?

@natelyons1983 Год назад

Hi Mark, If I decided to create a triggger or voice command to watch a specific Netflix show. How would this work if there is multiple profiles on Netflix?

@MarkWattTech Год назад

With Netflix it’s a bit of a pain as content will just play on the last profile used. If you want to ensure a set profile is used you could send a series of commands E.g: - open netflix - up arrow, right arrow, select - play chosen content The commands would simulate the profile change (hope that makes sense)

My Sony TV with Android doesn't seem to offer an option for Developer Options. They must be customizing Android for their use. Still, good video - clear instructions.

On some tvs you have to enable the developer menus by entering a code or repeatedly tapping on a section of the menu. May be worth a Google :)

On Sony Bravia, to get the Developer Options (where the ADB Debugging switch is), you first need to go to Settings/About, scroll to the bottom and click Build 7 times.
