adb connect works also:

pi@wohnraspi:~ $ adb devices

same for me, with firetv and firetv stick (python2 btw).

also on a different pc with python3 (both arch linux). How to turn on debug mode?

You may want to try out my PR. I moved to adb_shell which seems to work much better.

I'm having similar issues. One thing I had to do which I might have missed in the instructions was enable ADB over the local network in the FireTV Settings->Developer Options->ADB Debugging to even get the telnet from above to work.

However even with that I'm getting the same issues of the FireTV is always in an Unknown state.

I also had the same install issues as in #85 and had to use --pre when installing pure-python-adb-homeassistant.

Here's hoping someone finds the solution.

Insteresting, I just found a reference on Reddit that python-FireTV only works under Python 2. That could be our issue.

Same issue as here connecting to firetv 4k stick - device always shows state of 'unknown'

Tried using virtualenv for both python 3.6 and 2.7 - no luck, state always unknown.

ADB debug was turned on stick.

Running adb connect prompted on the stick as expected and approved, but no luck with firetvserver. Added the adb key to config file with no luck. Telnet to device in config opens connection as expected.

Any other suggestions?

How to enable debug?
