The library handles the protocol's cryptographic pairing and messaging layer, exposing an async API for sending commands and receiving responses.\n\nThe package depends on aiofiles, cryptography, and protobuf to handle asynchronous I/O, protocol encryption, and message serialization. It supports a wide range of commands documented in TvKeys.txt, can open apps via deep links, and accepts PCM audio for voice commands. It's designed for home automation, remote control applications, and integration into systems that need programmatic Android TV control.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and fills a specific need for Android TV control without ADB. The Apache-2.0 license is permissive. Install if you need to control Android TV devices from Python; skip if you don't have Android TV devices to control."},"id":"androidtvremote2","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/androidtvremote2","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/androidtvremote2.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/androidtvremote2/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-03-20","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"androidtvremote2","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A Python library for interacting with Android TV using the Android TV Remote protocol v2"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":102559,"position":12861,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.1"}
