Amazon Firestick and UR02 remotes

Help & Support Remote Controllers
1

Have a AM6B+ with both remotes programed using BT. The UR02 buttons are less sensitive so I would prefer to use the Amazon remote. The problem I am having is the AM6 suspends when I use the IR TV off on the firestick remote. Id prefer to keep it running 24/7. The AM6 is located in a separate closet so the only way to get it back on is to pull the power. When I turn the TV off with the UR02 (Grey button) it works fine and stays on. I need to use CEC for my volume control on my receiver so disabling that is not an option. Is there a way to disable the AM6 from shutting down or another option? My AV receiver shuts down when i turn off the TV so im guessing the CEC is working fine but why does it suspend the AM6 when only using the firestick remote? I’ve also tried different CEC settings (Ignore when TV off) without success. TY
2 things to add.

  1. When booted in Android the Power button works perfectly and does not suspend. So something in Kodi is causing this.
  2. It is sending a suspend command via bluetooth because if i go to a different room it still suspends the box. So that rules out CEC from the TV.

Try disabling the suspend service from SSH

To disable
CoreELEC:~ # systemctl mask systemd-suspend.service

To re-enable
CoreELEC:~ # systemctl unmask systemd-suspend.service

Thank You. That pretty much took care of the problem. At first the TV would shut off and then 5 secs later would wake up. I disabled CEC and now it stays off. I will just use CEC with the TV using IR for volume control. Its a trade off im willing to accept. Thanks again.

I couple other options. You may be able to use the Kodi Keymap Editor addon to remap the power button on the remote to some other function.

Alternatively, the bt remote buttons can be remapped by creating a custom hwdb file.
