Nerwyn/android-tv-card 2.1.0 on GitHub

This release adds keyboard support for Kodi. It only supports the textbox and search methods, as the Input.SendText Kodi API clears the text input each time it is called. To enable keyboard support for Kodi:

Set keyboard_id (formerly adb_id, which has been deprecated but gets internally copied to keyboard_id) to you Kodi media player ID from the Home Assistant Kodi integration.
Set keyboard_mode to KODI.

Keyboard support for other media platforms is contingent on the ability to do so via their Home Assistant (or community) integrations and demand.

This release also soft-deprecates the adb_id field and renames it to keyboard_id. Like the _row fields before this, it will continue to work and internally gets copied to the keyboard_id field.

Try using this Kodi config to start:
