First attempt extender 2 on 8810w

Post by silron1 »

Would very much appreciate it if someone could find time to check this out for me here.

Attempted to setup 'all on' - 'all off' with power button short press for off and long press for on.

Works fine on individual devices but cannot get to combine and work with the power button.

Had to make quite a few button changes from the "6012 extender help document" due to large amount of new device codes added when converting the 8810w to suitable UK codes. :roll:

Staying with extender 2 as I am having no luck with extender 3.

You older link did not work because a copy of the Yahoo provided link times out as the are only temporary. The 2nd one will time out soon. There are instructions in the general forum on posting links.

As to your IR build.. I see that on the power for each device you have a L/DKP set up to execute a phantom with a toadtog to execute power for the local device with a short press. The long press executes another phantom with the macro for all devices. The best I can tell is that the toadtogs are not actually doing anything or at best toggling incorrectly.

Since the toggles are not doing anything any way I would try a L/DKP on the power button like this and see what happens.

VCR; Power; TV; 1106; 61 83 47 83 55 83 63 83 4E 83
NOTE: One of these for each device.

Short press will execute the shifted-power for the device you are in and a
Long press will do an X_ for each device and execute the shifted-power for each device. This will work because a shifted-power (Shift cloaking) will execute the defined function from your upgrade (EFC for power) because it takes precedence over the L/DKP on the main button.

If you then need to do toadtogs we can work them in but lets make sure this works first.

Thanks for that - Nils.

It puts me where I initially want to be.

I tried the Toadtog because none of my devices have discrete 'off' 'on' only toggle 'power'.

My Screen and DVD are both Panasonic and in the past, had some confusion between the two on the 'power' button. I hope to do a few more device macros and thought it necessary to have positive power on and positive power off.
