Lagging Google TV with Home Assistant? Read This!

It's the polling. The polling was messing with my Hisense, Sony, and TCL tv's. I have the Android Debug Bridge linked to all my TVs. All TVs have developer mode enabled. I spent so much time reverse engineering input switching and app launching on them. Everything is running on Ethernet for reliability. (If you want it to work out of the box with Home Assistant, go LG.)

Everything works great, EXCEPT... I had random stutters and frame drops. It drove me nuts for weeks. At first I thought it was just one of them since I didn't really use the others for a while but then I started noticing it on others. I have custom launchers on these TVs too (Projectivy) and I was blaming that until I finally said screw this, I'm factory resetting one of them. It was running fine for an hour and when I redid the connection to Home Assistant, bingo.

I turned polling off for all of my TVs in the Debug Bridge settings last week and the issue is solved. I'm unsure what it's actually for as my TV Media Player statuses still update live and my lag is FINALLY gone.

Thought this may help someone as I didn't find much information on this exact issue and AI was a gaslight engine.
