sendevent not working until remote is used once

[dallaby23]

I have a firetv cube connected to my Visio tv.. Using home assistant to send adb commands to the firecube. I have collected the key command using learn sendevent to power off the tv.. If I use the adb command "HOME" to power on the cube and set the TV input it works perfect, but when I send the cube a command(any learned command) back it does not work, unless I first use the actual remote then all commands work perfect..

I have this issue with MiBox. If remote goes to sleep (to preserve battery), I could not use sendevent codes. I am guessing same thing is happening to you. No way around it.

I've got this issue too. Are you sure there's no way around it? Shouldn't there be some kind of "wake up" command before the actual button command?

I have this issue too with a firestick 4k.
