If your device requires ADB authentication, you will need to follow the instructions in the [ADB Authentication](#adb-authentication) section below. Once you have an authenticated key, this approach does not require any additional setup or addons. However, users with newer devices may find that the ADB connection is unstable. For a Fire TV device, you can try setting the `get_sources` configuration option to `false`. If the problem cannot be resolved, you should use the ADB server option.

If you get a "Device authentication required, no keys available" error when trying to set up your Android TV or Fire TV, then you'll need to create an adbkey and add its path to your configuration.

1. ADB is not enabled on your device.
2. Your key is not pre-authenticated. Before using the `adbkey` in Home Assistant, you _**must**_ connect to your device using the ADB binary and tell it to always allow connections from this computer. For more information, see the section [ADB Authentication](#adb-authentication) above.
2. You are already connected to the Android TV / Fire TV via ADB from another device. Only one device can be connected, so disconnect the other device, restart the Android TV / Fire TV (for good measure), and then restart Home Assistant.
3. Home Assistant does not have the appropriate permissions for the `adbkey` file and so it is not able to use it. Once you fix the permissions, the component should work.
