WOL on Power Button

Sending 6 times FF followed by 16 times the mac address on ip/ipx.

Would be awesome and worth a pizza... 🤜🤛

Additional information:

menu does nothing

I added the menu button but there does not seem to be a button on the remote to represent it. is it a duplicate of home?

power_on + power_off does not display

I've followed the instructions but I can not get "power_on" and "power_off" to display. "power" works, but i have different commands for on and off. Everything else works perfectly, and thank you very much for the awesome work thus far!

I've tested in Chrome on MacOS, Home Assistant Companion on iPhone and Safari, all with the same issue. I'm on HA 0.111.4 on Docker and I've used HACS to install your card.

Optional Directional Pad

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am using this to control an IR blaster, but the devices I'm controlling don't have a D-Pad (ex: stereo & projector), so having it show up is a waste of space and extra clutter.

Describe the solution you'd like
I am looking for a way to enable/disable the D-Pad (up/down/left/right/enter) on the remote for devices that don't support it, or only have it show up if you set the values for it like the volume buttons work.

Changing icons

Can we change the icons?

Separate Play and Pause buttons

Play button in this card is Play|Pause button. My remote have different Play and Pause buttons, so need the ability to choose between one Play|Pause button and two separate Play and Pause buttons.

Add custom buttons

My remote controller has some additional buttons that I would like to display in this card

I would like to have the possibility to add custom buttons (with custom icons mdi) that could be placed at the top/bottom of the card

something like

top_buttons: 
  - name: mybtn1
    icon: mdi-xxx
    service: xxx
    service_data:
      command: xxx
      device: xxx
      entity_id: xxxxx
bottom_buttons:
  - name: mybtn2
    icon: mdi-xxx
    service: xxx
    service_data:
      command: xxx
      device: xxx
      entity_id: xxxxx

Purpose of tv-card-editor.js

Is there a possibility to modify the remote layout? What is the purpose of tv-card-editor.js and how to use them in home-assistant.

Only render buttons with configured actions

The current version of this card always renders almost all buttons even if I do not need them.

I would like to use this card as an Apple TV remote, and therefore need to make buttons optional

I made a suggestion in a PR on how to solve this.

Feedback is welcome

Adding "select" results in mapping error

If i try to add "select" to the remote, i get the following error:

Configuration errors detected:

I dont get this if i make it for example the "info" button.

Add stop button to card

Title says it all: there is no option to add a stop button, only play

The tv decoder in my country uses separate buttons for this.

🚨 I'm looking for maintainer(s)!

As many of you probably have noticed, this project hasn't been very active in the last years.

I currently do not have enough time to work on it and therefore I'm looking for one or more people that would be interested in maintaining / developing on this and the other FireTV-Card project.
Some steps were for example to migrate to typescript.

Contact me if you are interested.

Thanks to all users & contributors!

Holding down buttons = repeat command

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
First, thank you for this wonderful card.
In many video playing apps on my Apple TV, the right arrow button advances the video ten seconds. It takes many rapid taps to move through a long video, because the tv-card does not allow users to hold a button in order to send repeat commands.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be very helpful if, for any button, users could set a Boolean such as repeat, which would cause holding the button to repeatedly call the given service. Users could additionally set a delay between repeated calls, such as repeat_delay: 100, and even a delay from the initial tap after which the repeated calls begin.

Describe alternatives you've considered
This is particular to the Apple TV but likely generalizable to other devices. The issue on Apple TV's is that the current generation of physical remotes have a touchpad, and you can trivially drag your finger across it to move through the scrubber of even a very long video. But third party controls like Home Assistant's integration only support sending discrete button presses. The pyatv library used by HA has distinct "right" (arrow) and "skip forward" commands—however both function identically in this case, only advancing ten seconds, and it seems hold-to-repeat would be the only remedy. There is no way to skip an arbitrarily large segment of video that could obviate the need for this feature.

Implement Haptics

Button presses are not easy to distinguish when on mobile.
Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
Implement haptics as mentioned here https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/integrations/haptics/

Feature request: set the icons size

Will be nice if I can control the icon size.

Feature request: Add button text below icon

Will be nice if there will be an option to set text per button (with the option to set only part of the buttons, not all)

Separating power buttons

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
My projector is controlled over RS232 and it takes different command (in HA different service) to power on and to power off.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to be able to define different service to call for right and left power button.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Could use some other button but it looks not right to have 2 buttons to power on and still be forced to use some other to power it off.

Additional context
It would be worth considering using different icons, eg. mdi:power-on for the left one and mdi:power for the right one (same as now).

Button icons don't show in safari and home assistant companion app on iPhone

Thanks for the great work. I've been using tv-card for a while and it's been perfect until recently(I don't remember when). Now none of the button icons show in safari or on the home assistant companion app on iOS. Works fine on Chrome(tested on Mac
