Get started

Four steps.
About fifteen minutes.

You need the TV, its remote, and a computer on the same Wi-Fi.

1

Turn on ADB debugging

  1. Settings
  2. My Fire TV
  3. About
  4. Press the device name 7×
  1. My Fire TV
  2. Developer Options
  3. ADB debugging: On

Fire TV Edition televisions put this under Settings → Device & Software. Your model’s page has the exact path.

2

Find the TV’s IP address

  1. Settings
  2. My Fire TV
  3. About
  4. Network

It looks like 192.168.1.23.

3

Install adb on your computer

$ brew install --cask android-platform-tools
4

Run it

$ git clone https://github.com/humblemuzzu/dumbtv
$ cd dumbtv
$ adb connect <tv-ip>:5555
$ ./scripts/all.sh

Press Allow when the TV asks about USB debugging. It asks you a few questions, reboots the TV twice, and ends with all checks passed. Prefer an agent? Open Claude Code, Codex or Cursor in the folder and say “clean up my Fire TV”.

Undo it all

$ ./scripts/restore.sh

Stuck?

Troubleshooting is sorted by what you see on the TV. Or we can do it for you.
