Hi everyone! Great news today, Android TV is now available on Smart Remote. This new integration allows you to control any device running Android TV. Install Android TV devices via the Wi-Fi discovery within the Smart Remote App and further customize your Android TV experience by changing the layout of your Smart Remote to arrange buttons any way you like with the Smart Remote app’s customized layout feature.
You’ll also find a surprise when you try to customize your Android TV device, who’ll be the first one to find it?
Please check our latest release notes for v0.74.21 here and how to add Android TV devices here.
Please feel free to share any feedback you have on this new feature!

Wifi control would be great but perhaps easier would be control over bluetooth since all Android TV units have bluetooth anyway and controls are is pretty universal so it should be easier to implement.
Ideally an Android TV remote should be able to combine IR with either wifi or bluetooth control for full functionality (IR for TV power, volume, etc and wifi / bluetooth for keyboard input and special keys). -
Any news here? Maybe a idea to implement. I used a harmony remote before and was able to control a android TV based projector by simply choosing an nvidia shield or fire TV stick as a device from the harmony database. I don't have any of this devices. Here is exactly the issue or missing feature I noticed. The sevenhugs remote is only able to add an fire TV stick or an nvidia shield when the remote recognize one on your network. So if you don't have any of this devices, you're not able to use one of the profiles to add an android TV based device. So why not enabling the possibility to add an shield or fire stick as a profile so the remote can be connected to the Android TV device via Bluetooth. I know that it's working, since I simply ordered a fire TV stick, started the setup on the remote to add an fire TV and simply went to my android TV an added the remote. It's working perfectly. Hope you understand what I mean

Anne-Sophie F. you can count me in. i would definitely test the new beta feature.
thanks for your response, love the work you do. much better remote compared to Logitech´s Harmony regarding the interface and the added featrues. the day you have the same feature set, you´re remote gone be a killer device. dou you guys actually having a harmony device as a reference device regaring features? we all know they are still the only remote on the market which can handle nearly all cases

in addition. with a harmony remote you can say, ok i want to turn on a fire stick, a xbox, and TV etc. all within one TV scene. what i noticed from the sevenhugs remote, i have to decided which device is the content source. i can not choose different or lets say additional sources. so the remote will only turn on this device as a source. problem here is can not turn on a fire tv stick and a projector, both using bluethooth for the control

I love being able to control my Android TV box (a Ugoos AM6 Plus) with this remote.
However, I have a question. Since this box runs on a full version of Andriod (9.0 Pie) as opposed to a TV version of Android, it is ideally controlled by touch or a mouse. Most of these new boxes come with an "air mouse" which is basically a remote that you can push a button on which will activate the gyroscope, allowing you to control the mouse pointer (much like Samsung Smart TV's have this on their Smart remote). So I would like to know, since the Sevenhugs remote has a gyro, whether it would be possible to control a mouse pointer on an Android device by either holding a button or toggling it.
Thank you.
