JP1 Remotes

Is the information required to build an irp file in the rmdu file by any
chance? For that matter, is the rmdu file documented anywhere but the
RemoteMaster sources?

Thanks,

The Lutron Maestro KM file in the files sections work great with my
JP1 remote. However, I'd like to use them on a remote that doesn't do
JP1, but can be fed CCF files. Is there some way to get a set of CCF
strings from the JP1 file? Possibly MakeHEX will do this, if someone
can provide a .irp file ...

I just stumbled across something that would be really useful for this kind of thing. The folks at dabbledb.com are allowing people to create free databases for public data. That's nearly perfect for things like the list of remotes. I'll put investigating this on my list of things to do, and hope ...

True. I can only find instructions for paying you with PayPal. Being
one of the thousands of people that paypal has ripped off, I won't use
them. Do you have another payment option?

As far as format, I could produce this file in crobat, HLP, HTML. I've got lots of tools in my arsenel. I chose DOC because I wanted it to be maintainable by anyone.
The problem with DOC files is that no two WP's - which includes two different versions of the same WP - have quite the same idea ...

PDF may be more reliable, but outside of Linux, finding free ways to generate PDF files not always easy to do.
That's been my experience as well when starting from MS Office. If you start with an open source package - OpenOffice has been mentioned, and I've found it handles fairly complex MS ...

Hi Vicky,

That's pretty much exactly what I was looking for when I started the thread. It tells me what the keys are, and what it will take to start programming it. Thank you very much.

Two suggestions: Most of the things in the description are self-explanatory, but a short key wouldn't hurt. And ...

I think the urc 950 is about what you have to get into to get computer programmability with soft buttons.

Well, if Logitech hadn't screwed things up, the harmony remotes would fit the bill. Computer programmable, you can progam them from any system that FireFox will build on (which includes ...

I still have the original remotes because they're in the original boxes, which are stacked in the closet.
I was referring to the dozens of remotes that you claim to still have on your coffee table.

Ah, no - just one remote on the coffee table. No, two - the PS/2 remote hasn't been put away yet ...

Jeff,

Now we're starting to get into philsophy, personal opinion and the like, which I tried to avoid. But...

The harmony web interface - personally, I like it. It means I can configure the remote on whatever system I happen to be sitting at, and then go update the remote from the system with the ...

While it works, so does just keeping a dozen remotes on the coffee table. Having used a remote with soft buttons, going back just seems wrong. And my family might well shoot me.
Well, if you still need to have the original remotes lying around, I would argue that it doesn't work. Most of us can ...

But, it's not a hard button remote, so you will need to look at the screen alot, which a JP1 user doesn't have to do, and you'll need to start saving for it now, which a JP1 user doesn't have to do.
I know, it's old - but it's just *so* wrong I can't let it go. The only Harmony remote with this ...

None of the JP1 remotes have soft buttons, at least not the way you mean. If you really want soft buttons, you should look at remotes like the MX-500 and the Philips Pronto, but they are alot more expensive than a JP1 remote.
...
The trick is to find a button for the function that you can remember ...

mwm, Selecting a remote is a very personal thing. There is a lot to the look and feel that makes.
Exactly. While the discussion about device multiplexing and activies and so on is informative and appreciated, what I'm really trying to do is find some way to figure out which remote I want, short of ...

What sort of controls do you need for the monitor, other than turning it on and selecting the right input? Do you need any picture controls or anything like that? If not, the monitor doesn't need to take up a device button.
Depends on the activity. SD sources need controls for adjusting the format ...
