JP1 Remotes

Just started into an extender for my 8810w. - After reading the possible probs arising with the use of v3.1 I have settled, for the time being, on v2.4.
I installed it as in the 'readme' and get my 4 blinks confirming its activation.

Have started by using the old device buttons with new added macros to open my required devices in the mode or on the channel of choice.

The Satellite receiver software is much too slow for the macro and when for example, I try to open with channel '101' I can only get as far as the first '1' before the macro completes. This despite putting the maximum amount of false key presses in advance and between the digits.
I would like to try " using a KeyMove connected to the Pause protocol(TV/1104)" as I understand I can control the amount of delay but have no idea how to go about it or indeed what this is.

Any help much appreciated.

Its actually pretty easy. Just do a key move in IR like the following

Bound device - TV (can be any device you want)
Bound key = Shift-Pause (can be any unused button you want)
Device type = TV
Device code = 1104
Hex entry at the bottom (must be hex) of say = 64 (range 00 to FF)

The insert the TV shift-Pause wherever you need a pause. You may want to then experiment with the hex value to get the speed you want.

In the HEX value for your pause keymove try $10. On my 8810w this was approximately 1 second. $20 was 2 seconds..etc.

Refer to this thread. I found using device combiner protocol for my satellite receiver, which allows you to define a keypress duration, worked very well. Another benefit was that I was able to remove the pause between each macro command sent to the sat receiver.

Re Nils' advice and e34m5's experience with the 8810, I must be doing something wrong. As I reported earlier this week, a value of $ff with my 8911 (identical to 8910) yields a delay of only about 1/2 second. $10 doesn't even give a discernable delay. I thought the 8810 and the 8910 used the same processor.

Any thoughts?

on my 8810w I am finding hex value 20 = 4 seconds and hex 10 =2 seconds.

Just a note, a couple of us had problems(ie. it didn't work) with the Pause protocol that was built into Extender 2 of the 2117. We added in the generic pause protocol found in the files section. That pause protocol worked great for us.

Since these remotes are similar, you may have better success trying the generic pause protocol.

Thanks, guys. I reloaded the Pause protocol from KM and everything works fine now.

Since the 88/8910 Extender Pause protocol works in the 8810 but doesn't work for the 8911 (which UEC advised me is identical to the 8910), either the 8910 requires different coding from the 8810 or UEC advised me incorrectly.
