I love this toggle to switch between touchpad and d-pad. Unfortunately, the program is way over my head. Anyway you can break it down for me? |

You can now use templating inline with the rows array to do this more clearly. type: custom:android-tv-card
rows:
- |
{% if is_state('input_boolean.living_room_tv_remote_d_pad_is_enabled', 'on') %}
dpad
{% else %}
touchpad
{% endif %}You have to navigate to |

Thanks for that. This is all new for me, so still trying to figure everything out from scratch. I was able to figure out the helper to create the switch and used your code to be able to swap back and forth. However, how do I make the switch display directly on my remote? (re: the d-pad/touchpad switch directly below). Thank you |

Okay, I think I figured it out. The coding is really over my head, but I was able to sift through it to get to the good stuff.
Thanks for all the help! |

No problem! If you want to include the toggle for changing the navigation controls in the remote card directly, you can create a custom action for it and include it in the remote config like so: type: custom:android-tv-card
custom_actions:
toggle_nav:
icon: mdi:gesture-tap-box
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: input_boolean.toggle
data:
entity_id: input_boolean.living_room_tv_remote_d_pad_is_enabled
rows:
- |
{% if is_state('input_boolean.living_room_tv_remote_d_pad_is_enabled', 'on') %}
dpad
{% else %}
touchpad
{% endif %}
- - toggle_nav |

Wow thanks for this!! I'll update my config at some point but this looks much cleaner :) And sorry @leedomike, my config is overly complex and confusing ("it's not you it's me"), but I hope it helped a bit even in its messy current state! |

Hi friends,
I spent way too much time on this a little while back, so I figured I'd share. It's not super well-generalized/DRY so it's a bit tedious to edit, but I hope it's of use to someone else here!
Note that you'll have to get the images for the logos manually (white circle and white background svgs are below) and put them in
/www/images, as well as create aninput_booleanfor the D-pad toggle. I actually made a separate toggle for each user and copied a bunch of yaml, but there are cleaner ways (I was in a hurry by the end of this). You'll obviously need to change the IDs to match your setup as well.The multi-touch volume and seek were added just now without testing fyi.
I tried to put as many of the controls on the bottom as possible so on mobile it would be easier to reach, but unfortunately the tabs were too annoying so I left them at the top.
If I had spent more time on this, I would have changed the backgrounds to black in dark mode. I also would have fixed some of the padding and rounding.
I'm happy to clean this up/remove the unrelated parts and add it to the examples in the readme if that's desired, but I'll let the maintainers decide on that before putting in the effort.
I also want to send a huge thanks to the maintainers and contributors (and those of the previous projects on which this is based); this project (especially gesture controls) has made my TV viewing experience much much nicer, and I rarely reach for the physical remote now because I don't even need to look down for most of what I need to do.
Happy remote controlling 😄
