  • IR signal from hub 3 month ago

    Remote Engineer team apparently redid the XG1v4 codebase in the Devices database-- which entry is the one they repaired tho? There are numerous entries for XG1v4

  • Xfinity XG1v4-a still very sporadic working after last update 3 month ago

    Anyone??

  • Learning commands f... am I doing it wrong? 3 month ago

    One year later, hopefully everyone knows this Does Not Work. Never Has. I have had 3 versions of X1. All do same thing: Nothing, during Learning. Doesn't work. Holding the remote above the Hub, pressing the origiinal remote button after starting the Learn function, is identical to Holding the remote above the kitchen faucet, pressing the origiinal remote button after starting the Learn function, Same result: invokes nothing within the Hub.

  • Xfinity XG1v4-a still very sporadic working after last update 3 month ago

    But which entry in the list of Xfinity devices that represent the XG1V4-A is the one to choose? there are multiple entries

  • X1 and IRBlaster by Sewell 1 year ago

    (this "repeat commands twice" thing was an anomaly, turns out, per my UPDATE post above)

  • X1 and IRBlaster by Sewell 1 year ago

    UPDATE It turns out this IR Repeater DOES work with the X1 Hub/system-- but it requires that the Devices it controls are correctly chosen from the codebase libraries. Example: My TV is Sony XBR-65A9G (one of hundreds of 4K TVs Sony has made in last 5 years). Choosing either of the IR Devices that come up when searching, with that as their model number, do not work when testing the "Triggers" before doing the Add Device operation- I had to choose the generic entry in the library called "4K old TV" Testing all it's "Trigger" test links in the App, sends the correct signals from the Hub to the IRBlaster Receiver which then sends exact signal to the IR Emitter pointed at the TV, It's an odd situation still tho-- when I remove the IRBlaster system from the mix, put the Hub in front of the TV, and add the Sony TV via model numbers, the Hub does send the correct signals directly to the TV. (Can't locate the Hub in my case with the TV, as the Hub is in my network closet about 15 ft away from the TV.)

  • X1 and IRBlaster by Sewell 1 year ago

    Turns out that when you use the IRBlaster with the Hub, many commands have to be pressed twice vs once. So I had to do a Repair on certain buttons for the Sony TV like Power: Edit/Repair/Repeats: change from 0 to 2. Then the commands work when processed/passed to the Emitter sitting at the TV. Must be some sort of translation thing although the IRBlaster SHOULD be accepting whatever IR command is sent to it, ie in a dumb terminal fashion

  • How to program macros? 1 year ago

    FWIW I think the X1 Hub version is best suited for what you are doing, as X1 is Activity-based and the 5 steps you list would be a single Activity, w no macros required. Its now 2 years since your post but there iis

  • X1 Will Not Learn from Any Remote 1 year ago

    (FWIW the TV model is Sony XBR-65A9G, which is an Android TV (Android OS based)

  • X1 Will Not Learn from Any Remote 1 year ago

    Thanks for that reply. It is **possible** that it has to do with the type of device I am attempting to learn a command from: Sony OLED TV (model doesn't matter as they are all Android TVs)-- added to the Hub as a Bluetooth controlled device-- not IR. Codebase downloads and most all commands are present, but oddly a few missing. (They are missing no matter what I choose ie Sony, Android TV)- one of the commands missing is the Sony remote's "TV" button; another is it's "Input" button (switcher) Training the Hub w any button/command from the remote results in the spinning circle of the app described above. I have not tried to do a Learn operation on any of my IR-created Devices to compare. So-- it may possibly be that there is no way to "teach" (Learn) Bluetooth commands?
