Call for EZ-RC logins

Post by mdavej »

For a while now, new users have been unable to create an account on EZ-RC. If there is anyone willing to share a login for the purposes of updating remote firmware, many people would appreciate it. If you would like to share, PM me the details and I will share with others by request via PM.

I don't expect a lot of requests and will share this with only one person at a time. But realize that person could share it with anybody else or even post it online. So it should be a throw-away email address, account you don't mind others changing and a password that you don't mind possibly being public.

When we have a few logins, I'll close this thread.

Thanks

EDIT: EZ-RC site has permanently shut down. No more logins are requested or will be shared.

You don't need EZ-RC to set it up. RMIR can do all the setup that EZ-RC can do. The only thing that EZ-RC is needed for is to upgrade the firmware, and AFAIK that only applies to the XSight Touch/Color and clones, not to the XSight Lite/Plus.

It is years since I have tried to log in to EZ-RC, but I tried today to do so. I know the username (e-mail address) and password is what I have used before, but I get a message "Sorry! Try logging in again. Check your username and password". I am using IE 11 (with Windows 8.1), the site says it is designed for IE 7 and 8. I've tried setting ez-rc in Compatibility View in IE but it makes no difference. Is there any other setting I need to change?

Compatibility view is the only setting I've ever had to change.

I logged in the other day and couldn't remember my password, so I used the "forgot password" link and got in.

Following this suggestion I thought I would try that, but found today that EZ-RC has finally disappeared :cry: . UEI says
EZ-RC has reached its end-of-life. One For All launched its EZ-RC service for the Xsight series of remotes almost ten years ago, back in 2008. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support throughout this journey and hope you will continue to follow our products.

I take it that you don't find the support that we offer for the Nevo here to be satisfactory? What is it that you want to do that JP1 doesn't do for you?

We are still investigating whether or not RMIR can be made to do the firmware upgrade on a Nevo. I don't know yet what the chances are of success, but when we know one way or the other whether this is possible, I will post in this thread to say so. Please be aware, in any case, that the firmware upgrade makes very little difference to the operation of the remote, and as Rob says, all setup procedures can already be done with RMIR and that will remain so despite the demise of EZ-RC.

I gave you a login on May 20, before the site shut down. Did that not work?

We are making progress on firmware upgrades.

EZ-RC would never have been able to add 3speed and service mode. Only JP1 can do that. So you seem to have JP1 and EZ-RC mixed up.

Two of your three goals can be accomplished with Remote Master today.
