Amazon Fire TV Cube automation

Hi -

I’m trying to write an automation to turn my Amazon FireTV Cube On and play a specific video on Netflix.

So far I’ve:

• Enabled ADB on the Cube
• Verified that I can ping it
• Installed adb-homeassistant in the virtualenv
• Added the following to configuration.yaml:

media_player:
  - platform: androidtv
    name: Fire TV Cube
    host: 192.168.0.17

If I go to the services page and run service androidtv.adb_command against the entity with data:

entity_id: media_player.fire_tv_cube
command: HOME

It returns to the home screen: All good: but thats about all I can get it to do.

I’d like to get it to play a video on Netflix. I’ve tried calling service media_player.play_media with data:

entity_id: media_player.fire_tv_cube
media_content_id: "netflix://title/80092835"
media_content_type: video

But nothing happens - No error messages, nothing.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks,

Neil
