Not a lot of info to go on here. Can you provide a screenshot?

The installation instructions say:

Open settings and navigate to "Accessibility -> To detect home button press" and press enable

But there is no switch or button to press

there's no way to enable it on my new Fire HD 8 tablet, you just end up at a blank page

[BaronKiko]

That's really odd. You can enable it via adb. The commands are in the help doc under the Fire TV section.
I will leave this open till I find time to update the help page to explain that for this device but it honestly looks like a bug with the settings menu. Maybe try reinstalling the app and/or rebooting. Doubt it would change much though.

I have the exact same issue. To add, though, when I installed the APK file, I go a message saying "Accessible services are off". I don't know what that means, as the interface allows you to turn other accessiblity services on or off.

[BaronKiko]

The plot thickens. Do you know of any apps that have services that work? Ideally open source so I can see how they do it.

Same here, no switch and "Accessible services are off"

[OppressorMan]

Same thing here as listed above.

My tablet updated also! Seems to have fixed that issue.

EDIT: Updating Amazon OS to 6.3.0.1 fixes the Accessibility toggle within the system settings, so nevermind the below I guess!

I am having the same issue as everyone else with the non-option to toggle Accessibility Services. I have another app installed that requires Accessibility Services, so I've already used ADB Shell to enable that app. My problem is if I enable LauncherHijack, it toggles the other (previously enabled via ADB) service off. I can't have more than one Accessibility Service enabled at a time, and I'm not well versed enough with ADB shell to enable Accessibility for two services with one command. Any tips? Thanks in advance.

I'm on a Fire TV Stick Gen. 2 with OS version 5.2.6.8 (this device hasn't got OS 6 yet), and when I enter System\Accessibility, the "To detect home button press" option just isn't there.

I have run the adb shell command to enable the accessibility service, but launching Launcher Hijack still says the service is disabled, and needless to say, the home button on the remote keeps launching the Amazon launcher.
Any ideas?

[BaronKiko]

Well I really should have followed up sooner. It seems to be a system bug with tablets so just update.
For the firetv instructions are clearly detailed in the instructions.

As I mentioned in my post, I do follow the instructions, enabling the accessibility service over ADB, but it still says it's not enabled.

Try using this command with the other one:
settings put secure accessibility_enabled 1

Success at last! That did it.
You may want to add that info to the HELP.md
Thanks!
