|
|
I have a Nevo C2. I am wondering if there is a way in a macro to go to "execute" the fixed buttons on the remote to go to Devices, Activities or Home from a macro. |

If you use RMIR to create a macro, you will find that the Devices, Activities and Home buttons are included in the list of available buttons to include in the macro sequence. However, only the Home button works and it needs to be the last button in the sequence. This limitation isn't a bug in RMIR, it is just the way the remote seems to work. _________________ Graham |

Graham,
Is there any way to use the RDF to prohibit those buttons from being selected in a macro? This seems to come up a lot. |

This should do it: change the second line in the [Buttons] section from
Code: | Home=$02:AllBind+groupLCD, Favorites, Activities, Devices, | to
Code: | Home=$02:AllBind+groupLCD, Favorites=$03:All+groupLCD, Activities, Devices, |
It won't stop someone asking if there is any way to include them in a macro, but it will stop a macro being created that looks as if it should work when in fact it won't work. _________________ Graham |

I appreciate the effort but when I changed the RDF it did not seem to make any difference for me. I could still select the Activities button and Add it in a macro.
It is not a major issue for me as I learned on this board what cannot be done in Nevo macros, but thought I should let you know that it did not seem to make any difference for me
I tried adding Activities to an existing macro and it let me
I tried creating a new macro and start with Activities and it let me
I am using RemoteMaster v2.03 build 14
I can do some more tests or trials if it helps

Thanks. Did what I wanted it to. When I power down an activity it brings me back to the Home screen. |

Sorry about that. You are right. It needs to be:
Code: | Home=$02:AllBind+groupLCD, Favorites=$03:All, Activities, Devices, | I've tested that and it works. _________________ Graham |
