For anyone else reading this, please note that this protocol will ONLY work with the 15-2116 and 15-2117 remotes.

Thanks a bunch Rob, the best of both worlds, 1-byte device upgrade and small protocol upgrade.

I did need to make one change to get it to work. Since this is now a 1-byte protocol I changed the CmdIndex to 0 instead of 1 so the EFC conversions wouldn't hang RM.

My net memory savings are 5 + 13 (KM+Dev) = 18 bytes.

So is this new protocol essentially setting up the 2-bytes then calling the existing builtin protocol? I think the same technique would work for 8910/9910 also.

In any event, I like it a lot. My device upgrade memory is lower due to using a 1-byte device upgrade (with side benefit of keymove savings), unit code functionality is preserved, and I don't need to pay the full penalty of the larger Simple protocol upgrade when my remote already has the functionality builtin.

Any chance this could be added to KM/RM or is this something I'd need to merge everytime there is a new version?

Yes.

There's no reason to add a one-off item like this to KM, and I'm not too keen to permanently add it to RM either. The problem is, when you give people too many choices, they tend to get confused, so I'm not too keen to add yet another ReplayTV choice that will appear in everybody's drop down.

Don't get me wrong, I can merge it in as new versions come out, but if user confusion is the main issue it can be labeled experimental, remote specific, or something appropriate so it doesn't show up with the regular ReplayTV stuff. If bloating is the issue, then I understand.
