Device Specific Macro; Question

Neil P · Post by **Neil P** » Wed Jan 14, 2004 8:24 am

Have the 8810w remote. Want to create a macro that is specific to a device and not global. Was told that in the special protocol sheet, URC-8011 would represent my 8810W remote. I set up the audio device and the code (the code by the way is an upgrade sheet/code I created).

I then used the key and obtained the Hex # (Phantom1).

I loaded the IR upgrade and protocol, now I have two of the audio upgrade in IR. (Audio 2000 from my original upgrade and a second Audio 2000 from the special protocol sheet, is this correct?)

In IR I then created a Keymove, with Audio bound and the key (in this case L1) and the the device I selected Audio 2000 and the hex # I entered. Nothing worlked, am I missing something here?

I'm pretty sure you need to use different setup codes for your upgrades.

So the upgrade created in special protocol is a "dummy" upgrade and not called out in the key move?

No. What is the first Audio/2000 for and why did you change the DSM upgrade from the default of TV/1103 to be Audio/2000 as well?

If you have an ordinary Audio/2000 upgrade for one of your devices, I expect you would select that on IR's setup page as one of the device modes. You might or might not also want to use it in some KeyMoves.

The setup code you select for DSM would not be assigned to any device mode on IR's setup page. It would be assigned as the setup code in any KeyMove you create to define a DSM on a specific key.

I've not used DSMs myself, but I do know that you can't use the same device type and setup code for 2 different upgrades.

Let's say you've used Audio/2000 for the actual device upgrade, and you've assigned it to the RCVR button, and you also used TV/1103 for the DSM upgrade.

Your keymove would have
Bound Device = RCVR
Bound Key = L1
Device Button = n/a
Device Type = TV
Setup Code = 1103
Hex Cmd = 3D

The first Audio 2000 is a Bose 3-2-1 upgrade sheet I created in KM and laoded to IR. The default TV/1103 was not meant to be changed? So why the pull down keys? Should I leave it at the default? Find my hex for the assigned phantom key, load the device and protocol upgrade into IR. Then create a keymove to any device with the hex # for the phantom key?

In case of a conflicting built-in setup code or added device upgrade.

I think you have been confused by a convenience feature of IR.EXE

The "Device" section in the middle of the KeyMove Add/Edit window is used to select a setup code for the KeyMove. For the DSM KeyMove you must select the setup code of the DSM upgrade you installed. A setup code consists of just a Device Type and a 4 digit number.

For your convenience, above the place where you could type in a device type and 4 digit number, IR.EXE offers a list of places you may want to copy the setup code from by double clicking. That is just to save you the trouble of looking up the number and typing it.
