HT Power Button programmable?

Post by coollick »

Hi all JP1 users,

I have the URC-9911 (9910) with extender installed and I love it.
I've programmed a few KeyMoves, device Macros with respect to my VPT preferences and custom ModeNames like SAT displays "LINUX VDR" instead of "SAT 2000".

But only one more thing i'd like my remote to do...
When I hit HomeTheatre device mode, i'd like the Power button to turn on both my SAT and RCVR/AMP device. Is that possible?


Currently the HT power button does not send anything, I have my HT mode setup in IR as follows;
HT Transport Device: SAT
HT Volume Device: RCVR/AMP
HT Channel Device: SAT
HT Menu Device: SAT
HT PIP Device: SAT
HT Other Device: SAT

I read somewhere that the Power button is assigned to 'HT Other Device', but in my case it does nothing.
If only it could discrete power on/off my HT devices, or just simply send power toggle all HT devices (without ToadTog).

With the extender the power button in HT mode should pick up whatever "other" device is selected. Check the flow of your device macros

it looks good to me, i have;

Home_Theatre = DEV_SAT; Phantom1 ; DEV_AUD; SET_VOL_KEYS; DEV_DB08[MySys]; SET_LCD

Phantom1 = SET_TRANS_KEYS; SET_CHAN_KEYS; SET_MENU_KEYS; SET_PIP_KEYS; SET_OTHER_KEYS

I am currently trying without using Phantom1 and see what happens
Ex: Home_Theatre = DEV_SAT; SET_TRANS_KEYS; SET_CHAN_KEYS; SET_MENU_KEYS; SET_PIP_KEYS; SET_OTHER_KEYS; DEV_AUD; SET_VOL_KEYS; DEV_DB08[MySys]; SET_LCD
Thanks for the quick reply

oops i have removed the power button from SAT device, nothing is programmed on that button, because I always leave it on. It should work when i put something on that button, can i make that button toggle on/off my TV and RCVR/AMP?

SUCCESS!

Added a DSM for SAT device on Power Key
Function = TV; Power; RCVR/AMP; Power; Home_Theatre
That was kinda simple, now i'm off to figuring out ToadTog to use discrete on/off instead of toggle power.
