Does TinyCam support deep links that could be used with Home Assistant Android TV Remote intergration?

Figured Id go straight to the source. Below is a link to a guide getting the information needed to open apps on AndroidTV using deep links with a service call through Home Assistant. I literally have zero experience with so I figured the guide could explain what I'm looking for better than I could.

In the case of Tinycam Pro, could you provide an example of your yaml file how to deep link the Tinycam pro app?

I'd like to launch a specific camera directly from an external app (Home Assistant) without requiring ADB debug mode.
TinyCam already supports com.alexvas.dvr.intent.extra.CAMERA_ID via LiveViewActivity, but this requires ADB shell access
because there's no URI scheme that maps to it.

Request: Add a URI deeplink scheme so LiveViewActivity can be triggered from a standard Android intent, e.g.:

tinycam:/camera?id=978266576

or

tinycam:/camera?name=SecCam_1

This would allow launching a specific camera view from Home Assistant using remote.turn_on with activity:
"tinycam:/camera?id=978266576" — no ADB required. Other Android TV apps (e.g., DirecTV Stream) already support this
pattern.

A name-based variant (?name=) would be especially useful since camera IDs are internal integers that aren't visible in
the UI.

The androidtv_remote integration doesn't have an ADB command service — it only supports remote.turn_on with a URI/activity.
So the only working call without ADB is:

action: remote.turn_on
target:
entity_id: remote.shieldtv_lr
data:
activity: "market:/launch?id=com.alexvas.dvr.pro"

That opens TinyCam to the last-used camera. There is no way to specify a camera ID through androidtv_remote — that's the
core limitation I've hit.
