wonder if anybody can help me on the following topic:</p>
<p dir="auto">I am running MM 2.10 on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ with various modules updated to the last versions.<br />
So far all good but struggling with the connection between those three modules:</p>
<ul>
<li>MMM-Podcast2</li>
<li>MMM-Remote-Control</li>
<li>MMM-KeyBindings</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">My objective is to start the Podcast with the Amazon Fire TV Remote.</p>
<p dir="auto">At the moment i can start/stop the MMM-Podcast2 by sending a command from a browser:</p>
<p dir="auto">(Same works with the other controls options for MMM-Remote-Control (Reboot, Shutdown, Toggle Full Screen,…) either with the command line ior the menu displayed by MMM-Remote-Control in a browser )</p>
<p dir="auto">Start Podcast:</p>
<pre><code>192.168.xxx.xxx:xxxx/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&amp;notification=BUTTON_PRESSED
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">So far i have connected the Fire TV Remote to the Raspberry and it shows “connected” within the Bluetooth Menu on the Desktop.</p>
<p dir="auto">Checking in Terminal with:</p>
<pre><code>ls /dev/input/
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">shows:<br />
event0  mice</p>
<pre><code>cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep "Name"
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">says:<br />
“Amazon Fire TV Remote Keyboard"</p>
<p dir="auto">Therefore i haven’t changed anything in the 99-btremote.rules file of the MMM.KeyBindings module:</p>
<pre><code>SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="Amazon Fire TV Remote", ENV{DEVNAME}=="*event*", SYMLINK+="input/btremote"
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">i can see also the activity from the Fire TV remote while testing in terminal with</p>
<pre><code>evtest
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">I have tried several configs but i was unable to locate the correct settings in the config to execute the Podcast trigger.</p>
<p dir="auto">As far as i understood, the standard KeyBinding entry should just like this in the MM config to use the Fire TV Remote:</p>
<pre><code>{
   module: 'MMM-KeyBindings',
    		config: {
        
   
                          }
 },
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">In addition there should be an additional KeyBinding entry inside the config part of the MMM-RemoteControl, right?<br />
(As the notification server function has been discontinued inside the KeyBinding part and it is recommended to do that via MMM-Remote-Control…)</p>
<p dir="auto">I have checked the forum discussions and found plenty on information how to link an external keyboard as well as switching screen on/off but no direct discussion about the Fire TV remote to trigger something like the podcast via MMM-Remote-Control module.</p>
<p dir="auto">Maybe i missed something here but appreciated if someone can point out the right approach/what to add in the config to make it work.</p>
