How to use appium with remote control unit

Hi guys, I’m about to start testing some streamer with TV application that use remote control.
Some one can tell me how to navigate and tap with this unit?
It’s same as click();
tap.perform();
?
An appium support remote control unit?

You could probably emulate remote key press with pressKeyCode. Android knows about 250 different key codes, so there should be the necessary stuff around them
