Key mapping device keys

jfaaborg · Post by **jfaaborg** » Tue Apr 20, 2004 4:09 pm

I'm looking for a JP1 remote that can handle key moves to the device keys. I currently have a RCU810 and it works great except for the lack of device key moves. Please point me in the right direction.

Thankx, Jon

The first question is why do you want key moves on the device buttons? Perhaps you're thinking of macros instead? Most JP1 remotes need an extender to allow either.

All my components have descrete power on codes. I would like my device keys to power on the TV,AMP, and selected device. My next question would be addressed to the extender forum as to where I could find an extender for a RCU810

That would be a macro.

If all you want to do is have the device button send the discrete on command, that's easy. The RCU810 is the *only* JP1 remote that includes the device button as part of the keymaps, so when you create your upgrades you would simply assign the discrete on function to the "device button" and you'd be all set.

However, your later post went on to indicate that what you really want are macros on the device buttons. To do this with most remotes, including the RCU810, you would need to install an extender.

However, there are 4 remotes that will let you assign macros to the device buttons, even without using an extender, and those are the URC-8910, URC-9910, 15-2116 and 15-2117.

Thankx! I found the RCU810 extender and looking at installing it.
