JP1 Remotes

Hiya,

Back to your setup. For my understanding:
(1) Does the SPC4 somehow receive its commands directly from the Sky boxes? i.e. the Sky box's IR receiver gets an appropriate command and sends it on to the SPC4 via coax and the SPC4 responds?

The SPC4 from my understanding is not really "active ...

great explanation - understood it on the first read :) rofl

okay so now i understand it lol.. i'm off to see how much i can con out of the wife, then window shop for a remote that is jp1 compatible & has easy pins for connecting a cable too..

now you know my needs lol... any suggestions on ...

thanks guys,

some info here i need to read up on.

i have 3 rooms i want to be able to control everything from, but .... that's complicated in itself, as the rooms have different equipment... 2 are easy and a 4 device remote would suffice. the last room, no I would need a higher device remote, but ...

Hi Capn Trips

yes you are correct, 1 in each room with a tv in each room.

for the purpose of programming the remote, for now assume that it is only a tv, 3 sky boxes & a technomate reciever. (which i need to buy a compatible ir blaster type thing)

the SPC4 only passes RF coax signals, not HD ...

Hi Robman,

thanks for the reply...

I'm just considering my options, as 1 cable for the kameleon wont work with all remotes & i don't want to get the kameleon working right to change it 2 weeks later lol...

I'm quite handy with soldering etc & have ribbon cables etc kicking around, along with idc ...

Hi, sorry, if i wasn't very clear. good idea with the diagram, i'll do it tomorrow & post one up,

a loftbox is an aerial amplifier & RF (coax signal not like ir / rf) signal combiner in one unit. it has inputs for FM / DAB & TV aerials, as well as sky's UHF2 & a modulated CCTV input. It then ...

Hi Capn trips.

thanks for your help

I already have the SPC4 working correctly with sky remotes. each remote is told to be 0, 1, 2 or 3, this is an internal thing to the remote, and no changes are made to the box at this point.

once you tell the remote to control port 1, it will (should) ignore ...

Hi Robman,

I'm new to JP1 theory, so apologies if this is a noob question...

I realise jp1 compatible remotes can have the codes changed to match a users equipment. that aside...

if i bought a remote from you in the states to work my equipment here in the uk, would it all work fine once the ...

going to see if they do a uk version....

at those prices, it wouldn't be long before they pay for themselves saving energy for kids appliances on standby..

I made some switching relays for metal halide lights on my marine tank a while ago, able to switch higher loads, not that this would require ...

Hi Robman,

thanks for the info, that would be great.

I saw links on your forum to jp1 cables, i'll have a look & see how difficult they are to make or order one then, in the meantime, i'll carry on reading up & see what i can learn before i hit you all with 100's of questions :) rofl

Robman, can ...

Hi,

I'm new to JP1, both forum & programming principles, I've spent a couple of hours reading through tonight & it seems fascinating.

before i chuck myself in head first, i realise you guys have years headstart on me & this may already be resolved / known workaround.

I have
1 sky digibox in ...
