Remote Setup

To setup the Fire Stick Remote with a Raspberry Pi Zero W or Raspberry Pi 3 (or any other device with bluetooth) (source):

1. Put the remote into Pairing mode by holding the Home button for at least 10 seconds.
2. Pair the device to your MM like a standard bluetooth device.

**Note:**As of Version 1.1.0, you do not need the actual Bluetooth address or evdev event path, you only need the Alias (shown on "Name=" line below).

3. Confirm the device is connected using cat /proc/bus/input/devices

   # cat /proc/bus/input/devices
   I: Bus=0005 Vendor=1949 Product=0404 Version=011b
   N: Name="Amazon Fire TV Remote"
   P: Phys=00:1a:7d:da:71:13
   S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/bcm2708_usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/1-1.3:1.0/bluetooth/hci0/hci0:71/0005:1949:0404.0001/input/input0
   U: Uniq=a0:02:dc:e0:f9:d7
   H: Handlers=kbd event0 
   B: PROP=0
   B: EV=10001b
   B: KEY=10000 1110 40000800 1681 0 0 0
   B: ABS=100 0
   B: MSC=10
   

   Note the "Handlers" line: your evdev_path will be /dev/input/event0 in this case.
4. Test the device and get the key map by using evtest (may need to install using sudo apt-get install evtest):

   # evtest /dev/input/event0
