I’m trying to setup an ADGUARD Add On through Home Assistant, but I’m having difficulties to set it up. Once I’m done all the local network will be Ad free, so it includes all the smart TVs and their apps

Hate to burst your bubble, but no you won’t. Unless you know something I don’t, adblockers don’t work on smart TVs. I’ve tried various apps, DNS blocking, even installed an adblocker on my router; still get ads on my TV. Drives me fucking nuts.

Eventually I gave up and just use SmartTube for YT, and Streamio for movies and TV. If I can’t block ads in apps, then I simply won’t use those apps. Unfortunately that doesn’t solve the problem of ads on the home screen, but it’s the best I can do.

No bubble burst. One cannot know everything. I hate wasting time in things that cannot be done. I’ll try to use smart Tube for YT on my smart TVs. Thanks for your feedback .
