JP1 Remotes

Yes, I saw that. It ended up being over $20 shipped. I kept my eyes open for URC-8820s and snagged 4 for $48 shipped ($12 each) new off eBay. That is a few pennies less than I paid on Amazon.com.

Even though, I am not a big fan of the size of the URC-10820, I picked up 4 for $30 shipped ($7.50 each ...

I called a few stores, none have it.

I have recently found a need for a couple more remotes. I bought my three URC-8820N remotes over the past two years for $12-$13 each plus free shipping from Amazon.com. Now I am having a hard time finding them for a good price. I would prefer the small form factor of the 6820 and 8820 over the 10820 ...

I thought about this for a few minutes while walking the dog. Ultimately, the most important thing here is that we get the device & protocol correct. I think that vickyg2003 has successfully done so. The device and protocol definitions will never change because Sony will not obsolete millions of ...

When I press and hold the PS button on my PS3, it usually just goes to a simple yes/no question do I want to turn power off and the 2 choices are side by side. As I recall, the yes side is highlited by default. On the other hand, if you're inside an application like Netflix, long press on PS pops a ...

Tombongo, would you please post all the steps in your PS3 macros and indicate which use the held/repeated commands? I think they would be of interest to many people.

I can hopefully have vickyg2003 post my the final KM file and possibly my IR file for the benefit of others.

The power off macro ...

No problem, got it. Sorry for the delay, but the holidays have slowed my progress.

This seemed to work very well. I found out that many of my problems were due to incompatibilities with RemoteMaster v2.00. It was unable to read and modify your KeymapMaster file without corrupting it. No errors were ...

I started from scratch last night and the byte 2 long key presses worked. I think I know what the problem was, but I need to investigate more.

I have come across a couple problems with macros. The problem stems from the fact that Sony decided to not use a discrete off command for the PS3. Since ...

Point taken. I work in an area where efficiency is the highest priority, but size is no longer relevant. If 10 repeats ever becomes a problem, I will let you know. Thanks!

I just loaded your file with RemoteMaster v1.86, and it looks the same a KeyMaster v9.21. There must be some bug in RemoteMaster v2.00.

I will try again tonight.

I had one of those bad nights. I couldn't get anything to work. I think there may be some incompatibilities between some of the software.


When I open your new KeyMaster file with KeyMaster v9.21 and URC-8820N selected, I get this:

Upgrade Code2 0 = 00 00 (Cable/0000) ps3 Bluetooth with Hold (KM ...

I haven't seen the need yet, but if it is no problem and 6 bytes is no big deal, then it would be a nice feature.

Will do. vickyg2003 has done everything I need to build all of my macros. In the next few days I plan to finish programming my remote for the room with my PS3. When done, I will post everything about the PS3 portion of my setup. I will probably start a new thread with an appropriate name.

Can I ...

This worked beautifully! The only change I would consider making is changing byte 2 to specify the number of repeats. This way, 0 still means no repeat, 1 = one repeat, 2 = two repeats, and so on.

Thanks again! I would not be able to use JP1 without all of your help.
