Just use the discrete on and off commands instead of the Power commands for those devices. All the devices you've mentioned in this thread so far have Discrete on and off commands available. It's just a matter of assigning them to buttons on the Buttons or Layout tab and using them in your activities.

Unlike Power commands that toggle every time you use them, Discrete On only powers something on and never off no matter how many times you send the command. Same for Discrete Off. It only turns your device off and never back on.

What I typically do is start each activity with Discrete On (or Power On) commands for every device in that activity. So no matter what activity I run, everything involved gets powered on. Then I have a single activity that turns everything off using Discrete Off commands. EZ-RC probably already made such an activity called "Good Night".

There is no option of 'Discrete On' in the list of options when selecting a 'Function' for a device in RMIR for my TV, AVR or DVR when creating my activities (my DVD player does have one).

On another note, when switching between activities do you just leave the previous device on? I.e. Watching my DVD player and then switching to my DVR. Do you send discrete off commands for all devices not in use as a part of starting that activity? I really like how my existing Harmony remote will turn off the DVD player when I switch to DVR and vice versa.

Also, any idea on the issues with the TV HDMI switching to HDMI 2 even though the command in the activity clearly says HDMI1?

PS - Thanks again for all your help. Without it I may have already thrown this thing against a wall. Smile

All your devices have discrete on and off. But those must be assigned to buttons before you can use them in activities/macros. Edit each device, and assign discrete on and off to buttons. Then they will be in the list of commands when you edit your activities.

If you want to turn off unused devices when switching activities, you can certainly do that.

If you press the HDMI1 button, does the TV switch correctly. If so, then HDMI-CEC (Anynet) is interfering and you should turn it off. If not, you'll need to test each input command and see which one really switches to HDMI1.

If you can't figure it out, post your file, and I can do it for you.

I think I may have messed up and caused those commands to disappear. When I do an upgrade, should I have deleted the original device? I did and I'm thinking that is what is causing me not to see the discrete commands.

I usually don't have to delete the original. Your procedure should be to edit the device, then open the ones I posted, assign functions to buttons as desired, then OK back to RMIR. That should preserve the entire function list. But your macros/activities can only use functions which have been assigned to buttons.

If I open the files I linked, I see all the discretes you need.

OK. I never assigned functions to buttons. Missed that step. I'll try again this weekend.

OK. I found how to assign those functions to buttons, but my AVR seems to be lacking a 'discrete on'. I'd love to send you my file to look at. How do I do it?

I see the person who made that upgrade left it out. Sorry about that. You can make it yourself. In Functions, click new, call it POWER ON, then fill in all the other details the same as the existing POWER command. Then change the 42 in the OBC column to 126. Do the same for STANDBY OFF, except use 127.

My TV seems to be missing the 'discrete off' as well. Any ideas for that?

Also, none of the HDMI commands for my AVR seem to work. Ideas?

Power Off = Discrete Off

OK. After playing with many codes and deciding that the TV needing the specific 'HDMI 1' soft button is not truely necessary I think I'm real clsoe to having it ready.

However, I still am having issues getting the different HDMI's to work on the Yamaha Receiver. I tried both of the zone 1 files and they'll do many of the others functions but none of the inputs (including the non-HDMI) ones. Any ideas?

On the Functions tab, change the YStyle from NEC to Y1 for each Input command.

That worked.

Another different question about this remote. Often after it has set unused the LCD screen will be a blank white screen when I pick it up. It will function with button presses but I cannot see any of the soft button commands as the screen is a completely blank white screen. If I pull the batteries and put them back in, the screen is fine. This however is a pain as often as it happens. Any ideas?

That's not normal. I don't know what's causing it. Sorry

I tried a factory reset and that did not help.
