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.

JeffLIrion marked this conversation as resolved.

The service `firetv.adb_command` allows you to send either keys or ADB shell commands to the Fire TV.

| Service data attribute | Optional | Description |
| ---------------------- | -------- | ----------- |
| `entity_id` | no | Name(s) of Fire TV entities.
| `command` | no | Either a key command or an ADB shell command.

In an [action](/getting-started/automation-action/) of your [automation setup](/getting-started/automation/) it could look like this:

```yaml
action:
service: firetv.adb_command
data:
entity_id: media_player.fire_tv_living_room
command: "HOME"
```

Available key commands are:

* `POWER`
* `SLEEP`
* `HOME`
* `UP`
* `DOWN`
* `LEFT`
* `RIGHT`
* `CENTER`
* `BACK`
* `MENU`
