[Feature Request]: Make Remote Buttons Accessible On Stream Deck? about ha-firemote HOT 1 CLOSED

Greetings @illegalcereal!

Thank you for the follow and for your kind words, it truly means a lot to me! Firemote is a passion project of mine, so I really love hearing things like this from people like you who appreciate my efforts.

I'm more than happy to help you sort out how to make these things work. Before we begin, I first need to explain that Firemote does not directly communicate with any of the media player devices. Instead, it's simply a button surface that sends commands through Home Assistant to existing integrations.

Take a look at the Firemote Wiki section titled How Does Firemote Send commands to my devices? for this helpful diagram and more info.

I don't have a Stream Deck, so I'm not confident enough to suggest the best path to try to accomplish your goal. From the images you've posted though, it looks like you might only need a list of Home Assistant commands to send directly to Home Assistant Entites. If so, you'll likely find a list like this intriguing/helpful to get started. (taken from the latest 3.4.9 Firemote version)

• all buttons
• power button
• left
• right
• up
• down
• center / select
• home
• hamburger / options

There's a lot of overlap between device types where a command for one could be the same command for the next. So, maybe even reviewing the charts that I created for a few of the media players in an attempt to document all of the commands could be useful for you too:

• ADB Commands for onn. Google TV 4K Streaming Box (2023)
• ADB Commands for Fire TV Stick 4K 2nd Gen (2023)
• ADB commands for Fire TV Stick 4K Max 2nd Gen (2023)
• ADB commands for Smart TV Fire TV 4 Series (2021)

With all of that in mind, I'm not going to close this issue with a "It doesn't work like that" comment, but instead I'm going to convert it into a discussion so we can work on it until you are satisfied.

I'm excited to help you get this working! It might even inspire me to get a stream deck too.
