JP1 Remotes

Thanks guys. With your guidance I was able to easily (once I understood the process) add a pause to the macros in question. A pause is only needed when the tv is off, and sometimes the tv is already on. But when that's not the case, this really helps!

I may try to follow The Rob Man's suggestion ...

mdavej,

Thanks for responding to my post. The link is much appreciated. I've read it and think I understand what to do. I'll let you know how it all turns out.

I've been using JP1 remotes for many years, but I have never used (and never felt the need to use) a special protocol. That just changed. I recently purchased a new TV and reprogrammed my Atlas 1056B03. Everything works, but when I launch certain macros that power on the TV, other commands for that ...

dtrump,

I had created a multimacro using one of the permitted keys as a test. When I was able to create that macro I simply assumed (because I could see each command listed right there on the screen) that it would work as intended. I never tested the macro ... until now.

Since I already had a ...

Graham, thanks!

dtrump,

Thanks for the explanation of multimacros, and the drawbacks of using them.

If I finally understand how they work, I could create a multimacro using On Demand (or F1 or F2) with a single macro imbedded. That macro would launch with a short press every time I pressed the Bound Key. In other ...

Rob,

RMIR Multimacros are new to me, since they weren't available with 2.08. In fact, the concept of a multimacro is new to me as well. If I understand it, normal macros can be nested within a nultimacro and run in sequence with a single keystroke (correct me if I'm wrong).

If that is correct, do ...

Rob,

Maybe this will help ... or maybe it will make things more confusing. As an experiment, I launched 2.14 and downloaded from the remote I was updating. Then I went to the macros section to edit the macro I created with 2.08 that uses On Demand as the Bound Key. When I opened the drop down list ...

Rob,

It's possible, but I don't think so. As a test I launched 2.14 and downloaded using two different remote names, the Atlas 1056 black (the correct name) and Atlas 5 Day 1055 (the wrong name). Using the correct name the F1, F2, and On Demand keys are absent from the Bound Key list, but they are ...

Rob,

Many years ago (probably about a dozen) I experimented with an extender, but ultimately decided not to go that route. I did find an Atlas 1056 extender file on my computer. It was created Wed 13 Oct 2021 01:43:25 PM EDT, but I have never knowingly used that file, and am not sure when/how it ...

Rob the signature of the remote is 3033.

Rob,

The remote in question is clearly labelled 1056B01, but when I checked an rmdu file created using that remote I got this:

Description=
Remote.name=Atlas 1056 B03
Remote.signature=201009

You're right. I had been using 2.08 build 1 and updated to 2.14.16. I got the problem right, but blew it when I entered the version numbers.

Thanks for the catch!

I recently purchased a new television and began setting up my Atlas 1056B01 remote to manage my purchase. I still had version 3.08 of RM installed on my computer, but decided it was time to update to the much newer version 3.14 before setting up my new device.

When I tried to build new macros with ...

Rob,

Thanks!!
