Hey! First off, thank you so much for making this driver, it’s exactly what I needed! You are a hero!
Second off, for anyone looking for a device that works with this driver, I ordered this one (the zigbee version) on Amazon and it works great right out of the box! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D3C591F6
I set it up and tested it on my TV and it worked great! I plan to use one in my room to control an AC unit, but now I’m thinking of all kinds of things I could do with these! I will probably order several more now!
And third off, I’m not sure if this is a bug or not, but when I go to create a routine > Control Devices > IR Remote, if I select “turn on” I can specify a device from the driver’s devices list. However, if I select “Turn off” or “Turn on or off”, I cannot select a device from the devices list, the option to enable “Device selection” is grayed out and disabled. I think it’s “fine” for a lot of devices that do not have unique on/off codes, I can just use “Turn on” as a toggle. But for devices that do have unique on/off codes and a person wants to use them this could be a problem.
Also, is there a way to send keypad actions without also sending a power on signal? I think I could use an unused Device from the list and not configure an on/off code for it, but I’d like to know if keypad actions without an accompanying power signal is an option I should look for or if it’s even possible.
And lastly, is there a way to bind another device’s state to the state of this driver? For example, having this driver report “on” or “off” based on the on/off state or power usage of a separate switch or power meter? For instance, if my outlet is reporting power usage greater than 5 watts, set the power state of my IR driver to “on”?
Thanks again for such a great driver, and for all the hard work you’ve put into creating it and supporting it!
If you want to deactivate the switch in the routine that does not allow you to choose more commands, this is the normal operation of smartthings routines.
If you want to send commands in a routine without including the activate command you have to deselect “Activate” by clicking on it again. This is the normal operation of smartthings routines.
Thank you for creating this driver. It looks like great work!
I recently purchased this new Tuya remote transmitter: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807435504800.html
It’s really compact, battery powered, and it seems like it would be a great addition to this driver. Thanks!
The only nuance I am finding is that this device will go into some sort of sleep mode if not accessed for several days. I wonder if it has some sort of “wake” command.
I should be able to automate some sort of dummy command to keep it from sleeping.
Hi Otivax, my Moes smart IR remote control has arrived.
I’m trying to learn it to control my Samsung TV.
But will the learning have to be done for each individual button or will it recognize the many on the remote?
