## {% linkable_title ADB Setup %}
This component works by sending ADB commands to your Fire TV device. There are two ways to accomplish this:
1. Using the `adb` Python package. If your device requires ADB authentication, you will need to follow the instructions in the "ADB Authentication (for Fire TV devices with recent software)" 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. If setting the `get_sources` configuration option to `false` does not help, they should use the next option.
2. Using an ADB server. For Hass.io users, you can install the [Android Debug Bridge](https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-adb/blob/v0.1.0/README.md) addon. With this approach, Home Assistant will send the ADB commands to the server, which will then send them to the Fire TV device and report back to Home Assistant. To use this option, add the `adb_server_ip` option to your configuration. If you are running the server on the same machine as Home Assistant, you can use `127.0.0.1` for this value.
### {% linkable_title ADB Authentication (for Fire TV devices with recent software) %}
If you get a "Device authentication required, no keys available" error when trying to set up Fire TV, then you'll need to create an adbkey and add its path to your configuration. Follow the instructions on this page to connect to your Fire TV from your computer: [Connecting to Fire TV Through adb](https://developer.amazon.com/zh/docs/fire-tv/connecting-adb-to-device.html).
