JP1 Remotes

I'm moving over a config that was running on a 8910 extender.
The 8910 config has:

TV Shift-Pause Pause $D1

and is running the suggested upgraded pause protocol. There
is a macro defined as:

DEV_TV;Phantom1;Shift-Pause;TV/Vid

Which powers on the TV, delays, then selects the proper input.
I've moved this over to the 8820 as:

TV Shift-Pause Pause $D1

X_TV;Phantom1;Shift-Pause;Input

Which seems to run minus the delay. If the TV is already on,
then it switches to the proper input. If the TV is off, then
it switches on however the command to select the input is lost
(which is why I had added the delay when I set up the 8910).

The 8820 extender documentation says that the delay is in .4
seconds. If the pause was firing, that would be a delay of
100 seconds which I should notice. Obvious I'll tune this
delay for the new remote once things are working. The documentation
mentioned that the 8820 uses two byte EFCs so I've also tried

TV Shift-Pause Pause $00 $D1

and

TV Shift-Pause Pause $D1 $00

Everything else I've moved over to the 8820 extender based on
the 8910 config seems to work fine.

Suggestions?

Get IR 8.0 and add your pause to the special protocols tab, specify pause in seconds without having to worry about 1 or 2 hex bytes. Then use that key in your macro. You won't need the keymove anymore.

This might not work with the 8820 extender.

Yeah when you first said the pause wasn't working I thought perhaps you were not using two digit efc's.

I'm not sure where my 8820 is at the moment, (we moved two times last year) but I'll try to give this a shot and see what's happening.

I found that changing the 8820 extender pause protocol to:

20 03 00 00 01 A6 EC AE 29 CD FF A1 A6 EC AE 29
CD FF A1 3B 60 EF 81

seems to make everything work correctly. Entering
14 seconds in IR results in the remote actually delaying
the proper amount of time according to my kitchen timer.
More to the point my power on macros which were working
on the 8910 now also work using the 8820 extender with my
10820.

Previously using 8820 extender pause seemed to delay for a
fraction of a second which caused the TV to lose commands.
