Strange Activity Behaviour

Post by Forssux »

Hi There,

For my ARRX18G I got 5 device configured with discrete codes and they work.
When I make a Activity however, they seem to get mixed up.
I choose for example screen and then when I like to pick my command I get a choice of a different device.

I have Included my 5 devices here

I have no clue why it's doing this, If there's a way to send logs I would like to know so I can send them.
Thanks for reading,
Guy

Xsight seems to refer to the button each command was first assigned to rather than the function code. So if you make your activity macros, then shuffle the button assignments, they'll point to the wrong command, as RMIR doesn't keep track and fix them for you. Only remedy is to delete and add back the commands in question in the macro steps box. In the future, don't make your macros until you've settled on your devices' final button assignments. You can, however, add previously unassigned functions without scrambling anything.

Not sure if this is a bug or a "feature", but I've gotten used to it, plus Graham has a lot of stuff on his plate. Seems to me like it could be a difficult thing to implement. FWIW, EZ-RC did exactly the same thing. If you reassigned any buttons, the activity macro steps got scrambled. So if Graham did address this, it would be an enhancement over EZ-RC.

Thanks for the advise, it was driving me crazy.
At least now I know I'm not crazy, well maybe a little bit.

Kind Regards
