  • X1 and IRBlaster by Sewell 9 month ago

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

  • X1 and IRBlaster by Sewell 9 month 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 9 month 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? 9 month 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 9 month ago

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

  • X1 Will Not Learn from Any Remote 9 month 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?

  • No input/source command for Sony 65 X90L 9 month ago

    :( Same discovery here w Sony XBR-65A9G (aka 4K UR2)

  • Learning commands f... am I doing it wrong? 9 month ago

    FYI this does not work for any remote, nor for any remote held 1 in, 3 inches or 5 6 or 8. A green circle top right of the app sits and spins. left mine spinning like that 1 hour ago-- returned to the app and its still spinning. Looks like this is on purpose?

  • IR learning mode - potential solution 9 month ago

    I have been trying to learn/teach ANY of multiple remote commands for 7 days now. It's about to be returned WITW? I have read ever post on here including one that says when pressing the original remote key, stand on your left foot w you right knee bent, etc etc etc-- none of these gymnastics works. I am on most recent firmware software everything. What's the deal??

    So it sounds like one creates a Macro that contains Xfinity tv box as the chosen Device, then macro commands are added that mimic the Xfinity Remote number keypad where it says "Press 8-0-6 and then press OK (or equivalent of "OK"). then you add that Macro to the Watch TV activity (?)
