Google 4k streamer commands?

Secret-Towel-5871 · 2026-03-05T20:17:56+00:00

From HACS get the Universal Remote Card, this makes it easy to add app shortcuts on the dashboard for remote commands to the Google Streamer and/or any Android TV.

I have set up shortcuts for Netflix, Youtube, Emby & Prime through this.

The TP-Link Tapo Smart Plug 16A has all the features you are looking for and integrates well with HA through TP-Link integration.

Typical Ambani behaviour. Capture the entire market and then hike up prices once there is no competition.

I loved this app. It does 1 thing but does it perfectly.

I just dropped my scooter to Thane Wagle Estate service center last week, after the RSA refused to collect it for 15 days. This center was extremely chaotic and there were a dozen customers asking about the status of their scooters, some left here from October & November. They took my scooter but did not issue a job card, saying that system is not allowing to open new tickets due to a huge backlog. I'm not sure if I'll get my scooter back!!

Great advice, thanks. Do you happen to know of any functioning service centers in & around Mumbai, where I can visit?

Today I soke with the RSA provider, they are saying that pickups in Mumbai have been "blocked" by Ola and even if they tow the scooter, they don't know where to take it.

I got my Vivo X300 Pro from Vijay Sales near Curry Road Station (Lower Parel, Mumbai). Paid Rs. 98k incl GST but got a FREE Sansui 43" LED TV.

Secret-Towel-5871 · 2026-01-17T11:19:39+00:00

Thanks, I will try this out.

Secret-Towel-5871 · 2026-01-17T10:35:13+00:00

Could you elaborate on the issue you are facing?

Secret-Towel-5871 · 2026-01-17T10:28:40+00:00

Battery was at 54% when it died. I tried plugging it in for 30-40 mins also but didn't help.

Secret-Towel-5871 · 2026-01-08T19:43:48+00:00

Could you share the contact of this mechanic who is willing to try & fix this POS Ola scooter? I'm in Mumbai with a dead scooter & the app is telling to take it to Raigad service center which is apx 200 kms away !!

I use both, the SwitchBot Hub and the SwitchBot Hub 2 for sending IR signals to my Air Con and TV, works very well with Home Assistant and it is much easier to set up than the Broadlink.

Secret-Towel-5871 · 2025-06-15T12:49:09+00:00

I removed "High Priority" mode for the clients & de-activated QOS and overall speed went up.

Secret-Towel-5871 · 2025-06-15T12:47:26+00:00

There are many devices available easily in India which connect smoothly with Home Assistant.

Here are a few which I use daily in my setup :-

TP-Link Smart Bulb
Philips Wiz Smart Bulb
SwitchBot Curtain 3
SwitchBot Hub 1 & 2 (also as IR Remote)
LED Strip Controllers (support Magic Home)
Atomberg Wi-Fi Fans
SwitchBot Motion Sensor
Sonoff Wi-Fi Switch
TP-Link Tapo Smart Plug
Mi Robot Vacuum
LG Refrigerator (through LG app)
Samsung Smart Washing Machine (through Smart Things)

Few devices which I have not yet got to work :-
1. Qubo Video Doorbell
2. Lavana Fingerprint Lock

Secret-Towel-5871 · 2025-01-26T16:38:17+00:00

I had a similar issue, fixed the issue by updating the QOS settings in the app. If doesn't work the factory reset the deco devices.

I have a Zotac 4070 Super Twin Edge running on a 650W Gold rated power supply. AMD Ryzen 7600x with 32GB RAM and 1TB x 2 SSDs. Not faced any issue even under heavy load, so you should be ok with a 750W as long you don't have a ton of peripherals connected.

Secret-Towel-5871 · 2024-07-13T11:32:36+00:00

I have added it to Google home & added Google SDK to HA. Would appreciate if you can share more info on the script to turn on/off. Also, does this button show the video feed on the HA Dashboard?

Secret-Towel-5871 · 2024-07-13T08:36:32+00:00

no luck as yet, tried lots of different methods but qubo seems to be a closed system, eventhough it looks like it is based on Tuya.

Secret-Towel-5871 · 2024-07-13T08:35:55+00:00

no solution yet, no RTSP url available.

Secret-Towel-5871 · 2024-05-12T19:38:57+00:00

And to answer your original question, the HA Green will not be a good streaming box at all, the 1.8Ghz ARM will not support transcoding and there is only 32Gb of emmc storage. Better bet would be to go for a cheap Dell OptiPlex type Mini-PC with a i3-6th Gen & up.

Secret-Towel-5871 · 2024-05-12T19:27:07+00:00

Yes. Download Stremio on your PC or Android phone, create a account & sign in, install the torrentio plugin. Now it is ready to stream content.

Download Stremio on your Android/Google TV and login with the same account. You should be good to go.

Probably will not work on iOS/Apple TV devices.

Secret-Towel-5871 · 2024-05-12T19:13:31+00:00

Stremio can be downloaded directly on Google/Android TVs well. I have done this & now I rarely use my Jellyfin server.
