FireTV Control


 

Hi,

is there a way to control the FireTV stick with Crestron?

I have a FireTV stick in the back of a DM 8x8. I control it using the Crestron "Generic CEC Source Control" module.

It took a bit of trial and error to get the Address parameter correct. For me it was "8 - Playback Device 2".

There are a few different IR receivers that work with it, I use this one at home,



I have a driver for it, no need to buy the remote, let me know if you need it.


 

I 2nd the vote for CEC in DM environments.? I have found FireTV CEC control solid after some earlier challenges? over the past few yearswith hangs with multiple commands being sent too often.


 

Thanks guys. I will try CEC.


 

But what do you do when it goes to sleep? I couldn¡¯t find any command to wake up my Amazon Fire 4K (the first 4K box not the cube). When awake it was fine but I could wake it up after it went to sleep and no way to turn off the sleep. I was fine with the IP control until the Amazon updated to remove IP control as it was. So I was forced to buy the Flirc IR and that works well and can wake it for sleep with any key


 

With CEC,? I pulse the PowerOn input on the Crestron Certified Drivers Video Server CEC v1.1 when turning the system on.? ? I have not seen any issues with the FireTV Stick not being awake and responding to commands after that pulse and during use.


 

I have a DMPS3-300 running my house and CEC worked perfectly. Thanks!
