Hi,
Is it possible to use an Application or something, that could utilise Bluetooth hardware of a smartphone and enable it to function as Fire Tv / Fire tv stick Remote.
I came upon various apps on playstore that acts as remote, if both fire tv / fire tv stick are connected to same wifi network but couldn't locate any app that converts one's smartphone to Bluetooth remote.
Isn't it Possible??

Hello every one.
Does any one know how this works !
I have a Sony Bravia KDL 24EX320 TV, and the fire tv box,
I allso have a number of other boxies to controll,
so I have a "OneForAll 7960" remote controll witch is surpossed to be just a "IR" remote,
But I have found that I can controll my Fire tv box with it, I can move though the menues and seclect things with it.
I just though I would let people know about this incase it could be helpfull to some one.
Are you doing this when TV is selected?
If so, it is controlling through HDMI CEC.
I did that with my Sharp tv, but it does not work with my Panasonic.
Yep, it's gotta be hdmi cec. Fire TV doesn't have a ir receiver built in.

I think it only works for Sony tvs. I have the 55W829 and i can use the tv remote for my Amazon fire tv as well. Also works when Kodi is enabled.
Since the Fire TV stick has no usable USB port to speak of, we can't just plug in an IR dongle.
Some people have had success using HDMI-CEC and their TV remote control. However, my Olevia 232 TV doesn't seem to support the CEC protocol.
Has anyone had any luck using a PS3 remote? Has anyone tried using a Harmony PS3 adapter, or IR2BT bridge?
My thoughts were to build an Arduino device using BT shield setup to use the keyboard profile or Joystick profile; and couple that with an IR receiver.
I have successfully side loaded the settings.apk. I am able to pair a BT PC keyboard. I have seen reports that even some Samsung TV's don't support CEC protocol. So even if officially none of this works, I might be able to Pair one of the devices mentioned above with settings.apk.
Well, I had to side-load the settings.apk. In doing so, I could pair a bt keyboard and a bt media remote control by Satechi. Unfortunately, only PLAY/Pause and the home key do anything. But it's a star. The Forward and back buttons don't seem to work. However, I wonder, if they sent ff and rewind commands; if it would respond.
This gave me the idea to pair the Fire tv remote to my phone.
I was able to pair the Fire TV stick remote to my phone, and tested all of the key buttons .

I wonder if I rename a device to `Amazon Fire TV Remote` if it will accecpt paring in the normal Fire TV settings menu.
Hi,
can I use the Fire TV Stick as a bluetooth receiver for my AV Receiver?
Perhaps with an automatically launched app.

hi ,
I have got the fire tv version 1 remote with voice, when I try to connect this to my shield tv as a Bluetooth accessory it shows in the accessory but It fails to connect to the fire tv remote.
I keep pressing the home button on the ftv remote for it to go in to pairing mode,
I have tried the shield accessories as well but I think the fire tv remote is only Bluetooth.
has anyone set up a ftv remote verison 1 with voice to work with the shield tv and how.
thanka
I have a FireTV Stick 4K with latest offical firmware and trying to pair a Alexa Voice Remote (1st Generation). I really tried everything, but the FireTV does not recognise it
I still have an old Basic Edition Remote, that does pair without any problems.
I also reset the Voice Remote as descirbed in the amazon help (tried all button combinations, also from the other remotes). Removed batteries, restarted FireTV, even reset FireTV, tried pairing with home button after restart, tried pairing ober the menu with add new remote... nothing...
I thought it's broken, but it does pair after reset (with left button and menue button) to an old FireTV 2 (which i normaly no longer use). So the remote seems to work. Because i get it done with other remote and on other FireTV hardware i also shouldn't be too stupid to just do it right...
And because the old basic remote does also pair to the FireTV Stick 4k, the FireTV Stick should also be fine...
Any ideas I could try to get the damn voice remote got paired to the FireTV Stick 4k?
The FireTV 2 remote uses WiFi direct.
The basic edition, 2nd and 3rd gen remotes use Bluetooth.
The WiFi direct remote is not compatible with the 4k Stick.
