Integrate NowTV and Settings

[Marcoluca56]

Hello everyone, first of all thanks and compliments for everything. I would like to implement NowTV, how can I do it?
I also have a sony tv how can I also implement the button to enter the tv settings?
Thank you very much everyone

You need to find its deep link using the deep linking guide and an SVG icon, and then use a tool like this SVG path editor to make it work with this project.

Does your TV run Android TV or is it an older version that uses Sony software? If the settings button doesn't work it may be proprietary.

where do I go to add the rule for the NOW program? What is the path and how do I do it directly from HomeAssistant? Thanks

Have you read the README? It talks about creating custom actions and icons there.

Using the actions dev tool you can fire the remote.turn_on command to test it.

action: remote.turn_on
data:
  activity: NowTVDeepLinkGoesHere
target:
  entity_id: remote.lounge_google_tv

You can define a custom action with the same YAML as it's tap action as described in the README.

Version 4 is almost ready for release and you can use it's beta if you want to do all of this through a configuration UI.

Thanks for your reply.
I test it but without success... i tried with:

type: custom:android-tv-card
remote_id: remote.sony_xr_42a90k
keyboard_id: media_player.tv_cucina
slider_id: media_player.tv_cucina_homekit_television

rows:
  - - test
custom_actions:
  test:
    icon: mdi:netflix
    tap_action:
      action: source
      source: nowtv-it://

but nothing happens. Where am I going wrong?
I looked at the deeplink schemes and these are them:

 <string name="deeplink_host_http">watch.nowtv.com</string>

    <string name="deeplink_scheme_atlas">atlas</string>

    <string name="deeplink_scheme_nowtv">nowtv</string>

    <string name="deeplink_scheme_nowtv_de">sky-ticket</string>

    <string name="deeplink_scheme_nowtv_es">nowtv-es</string>

    <string name="deeplink_scheme_nowtv_ie">nowtv</string>

    <string name="deeplink_scheme_nowtv_it">nowtv-it</string>

Thanks

If the settings button doesn't work then it's possible that it's separate from Android TV, in which case you wouldn't be able to access it from any of the built in default keys. You could try setting up the Bravia TV integration and using that.
