I'm trying to get my TV's setup to show my doorbell camera on the tv's attached to my fire sticks. I have fully kiosk 1.59.1 installed. I'm on HA 2025.10.3. When on the settings page for fully kiosk, I can click on send to background and fully kiosk disappears and the main firestick page shows up. But if I then try to send to foreground, nothing happens. Any thoughts or advice?

Have you checked to accept all permissions during FK setup on phone? Rebooted ha after install?

Yep. I don’t think Fully kiosk is not built around switching in and out of focus. I’ve uninstalled it and am looking for other solutions.

having no issues here with FK fore/background though. Software up-to-date and already performed full hardware reboot?
