I am relatively new to HA. My primary configuration is to control everything in my media room. I have made great progress on the lights, lighting scenes, and some controls of my TV / movie viewing. I am running into issues controlling my DirecTV Stream Set top box. It’s running Android TV but obviously has a custom build.
I’m able to use the Android Remote to open apps using something like this:
action: remote.turn_on
data:
activity: https://www.paramountplus.com
target:
entity_id: remote.theater
but can’t find the right deep link to go to the base DirecTV stream app. Likewise, I can’t change the channels in the DirecTV app. Has anyone figured this out?
My next attempt will be to purchase a IR and Bluetooth enabled hub. My hope is that I can replicate all of the DirecTV set top box’s remote features. Does anyone have a recommendation or has done this before?
