This module requires the IRUSB dongle from Video Storm. (As of this time this is the only way I'm aware of controling the Amazon Fire TV from Crestron)
This small dongle provides a logic board to enable TCP/IP control. (It also provides IR in/out which is unused in this application.)
For this to work, you must install the IRUSB App onto your Amazon Fire TV device from the Amazon app store: https://amzn.to/2Wc4Uyu This free app opens the TCP/IP server on port 9093d. (Note: the IRUSB dongle is required for the app to function, even if its IR functionality is unused.)
Purchase the IRUSB dongle from: https://www.video-storm.com/proddetail.php?prod=IRUSB
