The firetv platform allows you to control a [Amazon Fire TV](http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-DV83YW-Fire-TV/dp/B00U3FPN4U) (/stick).
The python-firetv Python 2.x module with its helper script that exposes a HTTP server to fetch state and perform actions is used.
Steps to configure your Amazon Fire TV stick with Home Assistant:
- Turn on ADB Debugging on your Amazon Fire TV:
- From the main (Launcher) screen, select Settings.
- Select System > Developer Options.
- Select ADB Debugging.
- Find Amazon Fire TV device IP:
- From the main (Launcher) screen, select Settings.
- Select System > About > Network.
- `pip install firetv[firetv-server]` into a Python 2.x environment
- `firetv-server -d <fire tv device IP>:5555`, background the process
- Configure Home Assistant as follows:
To add FireTV to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
platform: firetv
host: localhost:5556
device: livingroom-firetv
name: My Amazon Fire TV
```
Configuration variables:
- **host** *Optional*: Where `firetv-server` is running. Default is *localhost:5556*.
- **device** *Optional*: The device ID, default is *default*.
- **name** *Optional*: The friendly name of the device, default is 'Amazon Fire TV'.
<p class='note warning'>
Note that python-firetv has support for multiple Amazon Fire TV devices. If you have more than one configured, be sure to specify the device id used. Run `firetv-server -h` and/or view the source for complete capabilities.
