JP1 Remotes

I tries searching, but can;t find the thread that spoke of using the Zenith VCR 0039 and use the REC button as a long delay in a macro. In that same thread, someone said to keymove the VCR REC to a CD REC, so as to free up the VCR device button. In Keymove, you have to assign the EFC code for REC in order to move from the VCR to the CD.

Step By Step:

In IR, I would assign 0039 in the VCR slot for the device? Correct?

Then how would I keymove the REC button from VCR to CD without the efc for the REC button?

I need my VCR device to be free for my own VCR and not the 0039 device code.

Thanks,
Neil P

Does the EFC matter?

I've never tried that form of pause, but I thought all that mattered was the setup code and the fact that the record key is used.

If I'm right, you could KeyMove that setup code and any EFC number to a Rec key in any device mode that doesn't need its own Rec key. Then the macro that needs the pause could switch to the device mode of the KeyMove and then do the Rec command.

You don't need to assign VCR/0039 to a device button unless it's not builit-in to your remote.

In IR's Key Move tab, setup the key move as follows:

Under Bound Key, select the Device and Key you want the key move bound to.
Under Function to Perform, select:
- Device Type = VCR
- Setup Code = 0039
EFC/Hex Cmd (EFC selected) = 157 (from the VCR/0039 Advance Code list)

Then reference that key move button wherever you want the pause to occur.

Hmmm I see, a quick observation on the 0039 macro delay.

I set up two identical macros, when I use the vcr/rec as the delay I noticed no delay time, when I added an extra rec (vcr/rec/rec) in the macro, then I had approx a 3-4 sec delay.

Will try the key move with any efc #.

Thats make sense, as I am new to JP1, its all comming together now and I am slowly understanding the fundamentals of the JP1 system.

Thanks you,

An an initial experiment, I was using it as part of the VCR setup code and not a keymove and yup the double rec press would be needed Laughing

Thats why my two rec in the macro was needed for me to get the delay Surprised

Will work the keymove method tonight.

As someone had pointed out before, this jp1 can be very addictive, jees especially as an enginner. Some nights I spend 2-3 hours "playing"

I really need to incorporate the remote with my x10, which I have a well mature network in my house and the 8810w are great fro the price and features vs the 8910 with the RF which is more bulky. I do hope they come out with the AAA replacement for the extender.

Thanks again,
Neil P

No, not the RF feature to control x10 directly, I know I need the IR543. The RF feature of the URC-9910 gives me the freedom to talk to the IR543 from anywhere instead of only doing so by being infront of the IR543. I have the IR543 in place and up and running with my 8810W. But say I have the remote in my hand and moved to a different room and want to controll X10, I have to go back to where my IR543 is located to do so.

I will retain my RF-to-X10 "transceiver" because I have numerous wireless wall switched, motion sensors and X10 16 devices remote that needs it.

My goal eventually is to upgrade to Ocelot, to have x10 and IR and 2-way com. without being connected to the computer 24/7.

You guys have been really helpfull and much appreciation on my end here for all the help/tips and knoweldge.
