Android TV Remote API Keyboard #89

The Android TV Remote API can now send text! The Android TV platform no longer uses Android Debug Bridge for keyboard or search actions and instead only requires the Android TV Remote integration. You'll notice that sending text via Android TV is much snappier. This also fixes typing international characters on the Android TV platform #61. If you prefer the old ADB text input or search methods, you can still use them by creating custom elements with the keyboard/textbox/search action with the Fire TV platform.

This would not be possible without the amazing work @astrokin did reverse engineering sending text via the Android TV Remote API and @tronikos did implementing this (and the Android TV Remote API in general) into Home Assistant.

Other Changes

  • Fix keyboard/textbox/search inputs to only show required fields for selected platform, and only show valid search platforms.
  • Fix keyboard input when the input event type is insertCompositionText #213.
  • Fix card keyup/down event listener not detecting open dialog if a key was not explicitly defined to use a key like arrow or space keys.
  • Add power default keys to sources which previously had separate power on/off keys using hold actions.
  • Add gap between items in column.

Patch Version Fixes

  • Replace filter()[0] calls with find().
  • Fix Android TV Hulu source #234.
  • Slider performance tweaks.
  • Fix fire-dom-event action.
  • Update Android TV Globoplay source #238.
  • 2025.8.0 editor button fix.
  • Fix editor ha-button leading icon size.
  • Add closing to toggle off states list.
