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.
