Any plans to support Vizio TVs (Smartcast)

[mikesellt]

Hello. First of all, great work on this card. I have a couple Android TV devices, and so far this is working well. My two main living space TVs are both Vizio TVs, and they run the Smartcast software. Home Assistant has an integration for them, but it isn't very good. A better remote like your card would be awesome. Are there any plans to try and support these TVs? I tried to install the card as a "generic remote," but I can't select my TV entities in the card since they're not supported. I'm not a developer or anything, so I have zero clue on whether or not this is even possible.

Currently no. Home Assistant does have a Vizio integration but it has a convoluted setup process and doesn't seem to offer much except power, volume, and user configured apps.

It appears that Visio Smartcast exposes a REST API on the LAN that can accept remote commands.

It would be pretty awesome to add this integration to the Universal Remote Card.
