JP1 Remotes

Hi

As some of you know, I am using a Harmony Universal Remote to mimic OEM Remotes to build Custom Remotes.

I have had a request in to look at 3 nFusion devices: Phoenix (STB), Solaris (SD PVR) and the Nova (HD PVR). I have installed all 3 devices and the Harmony database appeared to recognise them and also allocated the soft keys to different device-dependent functions.

But when I try and learn the codes I find that all 3 devices are giving identical results (Protocol - NEC1, Device 8, same keycodes). Even looking at the waveforms in IRSCOPE they look identical.

Am I missing something ? Might they be using an 'extra' code to differentiate between the boxes that we can't trap ?

Do you have any reason to believe that they're not in fact all using the same codeset?

Unfortunately the BIN code I have created doesn't work for the user so I don't have much to go on. But he tells me that they have different remotes and the Up Arrow, for example, on one remote will only drive the appropriate box to that remote.

Does your user have all three boxes? It sure sounds like they all use different codes, but on the other hand, we don't know that the Harmony has the right codes for all three, unless you know of other Harmony users with these boxes that are successfully using it.

The user has the Phoenix STB and the Solaris SD PVR. He just happens to know there is also an HD PVR called the Nova and had assumed the codes doing the rounds were for the Nova and that was why they wouldn't work with his 2 boxes.

Hadn't thought of checking other Harmony users, I'll post a request on the forum.

Thanks

nFusion Owners;

Use the correct File S2040_PL.bin.

It can be found in the File Section here.

What do I put in where it asks for the cutom code? I did download the relevant file but I don't know what to put in for custom code.
