Hi all! First time posting in Discord but I've started frequenting the Forums since I've gotten started with HAOS.
I am kind of stuck with a couple things here:

  1. as shown in this thread I'm trying to create one remote card to control both my Android TV box and the Fire TV it's connected to. I can create both an Android TV or Fire TV remote card, I so I thought in theory I could combine buttons from one with the other if I call the entity correctly when adding in custom buttons but it looks like I got something wrong.
  2. I also realized after testing that the button to toggle Power on the Android Box is being sent via the network and the device when powered off loses connection. The only way to power it back on after it's been off for a while is via the Bluetooth remote it came with. Trying to see if there's a setting I could look for to fix that, or if there is a hardware based approach to replicating a BLE signal to power on the box instead?

The full YAML is in the thread.
