How can I control the Home Screen layout?

How can I control the Home Screen layout?

 

a use case: I have three Rokus and want to make their home screens have an identical layout. M

and I want to use an external device (laptop or mobile device ) to do this wirelessly. 

I know I can use the ECP protocol as in python-Roku, but…

 want to:

1  get the Home Screen layout for Roku #1 and record the positions of the app icons.

2. Use this to arrange the icons on Roku #2

is this possible with the API? I’m mainly comfortable with python bug could use other languages I suppose.

 

anyone suggest where I need to dig to get this information?

Re: How can I control the Home Screen layout?

I don't think this is possible right now.  When the new Roku home screen was created over the last couple of years, we didn't hook up the ECP commands to modify channel ordering, and I don't think that's going to change.
