• New "Function" commands

Full Changelog: v2.0.4...v2.1.0

Xiaomi Mi Box Beta 3

Xiaomi Mi Box Beta 3

Changes:

• Default event changed for Mi Box S from event3 to event2. This could have been the cause of the report from @moh-Brent in #55 that the "apps-button" was not doing anything
• On the topic of the apps button not working, I replaced the Xiaomi command tied to that button with an adb start command which does not require a proper "event" number to be selected, and is faster than a "Strong" config. Hopefully I've double solved this issue.
• Adjusted the launch command for the emby app as reported by @ChristophCaina in #18 to be problematic. This change should make it more stable and even faster for everyone who uses it.
• Adjusted the launch command for Magenta TV as reported by @ChristophCaina in #58. This needs testing/confirmation.
• Added a confirmation dialog before executing a function: restart button press command as noted by @moh-Brent in #55 (good call Kiwi)

Not finished yet:

• nothing! (let me know if I missed something)

Details can be found here:
https://github.com/PRProd/HA-Firemote#button-overrides

Special thanks to @ghvader, @toddsay, @clinds34, @michaelhenningersrb, @craigrouse, and @broyuken for this additional override request, and their patience with me to finally get it done.

Additional buttons on Shield Remote

NVIDIA Shield style 1 remote now includes the secret volume control buttons in the "spine" area between the "wings" on the bottom of the remote. Click around and you might find them.

Full Changelog: v2.0.2...v2.0.3

Allow buttons to be hidden

This release now allows buttons to be hidden by utilizing the "button-overrides" field in the card's YAML config.

As requested in #42, if a user wanted to hide all of the buttons that referred to power and volume, this could be added to the YAML config:

button_overrides:
  power-button:
    hidden: true
  volume-up-button:
    hidden: true
  volume-down-button:
    hidden: true
  mute-button:
    hidden: true

Full Changelog: v2.0.1...v2.0.2

2 New App Shortcuts

Added two new app shortcuts:

• Surfshark VPN #53 (added to Fire TV and NVIDIA Shield)
• Stremio #54 (added to Fire TV and NVIDIA Shield)

Full Changelog: v2.0.0...v2.0.1

NVIDIA Shield Support

NVIDIA Shield Support is here!

New features

• Native support for NVIDIA Shield devices!
• Remote Style Override: Regardless of the kind of device you own, you can switch your Firemote card to look like a completely different remote control. If you were very clever, you probably knew of a way to do this already, but now it's built in!
• Visible Device Name Color Choice: As requested in #44, you can now choose a different color for the visible device name text.
• Device support added for Fire TV Stick - Basic Edition #43
• Sometimes apps made for the Amazon Fire world weren't the same as the apps made for other Android TV style devices which needed to be sorted out. If you've used Firemote for any non Amazon Fire devices, you may have come across this problem before, as @moh-Brent discovered in #30. These issues have been all sorted out under the hood which will absolutely result in a better experience
