Roku applications cannot make ECP requests to their own device, it's prohibited.

See https://developer.roku.com/docs/developer-program/certification/certification.md#5-deep-linking, rule 5.3:

5.3 Channels are prohibited from deep linking into other channels or directing users to exit the channel to purchase content, goods or other services.
