JP1 Remotes

I have read, and even written, that the RCA RCRP05B is capable of DeviceSpecificMacros out of the box. Is that true?

And if so, do the JP1 tools address this capability.

If not, I'm also wondering what is the best way of back door-ing this past IR? Would a new RDF with no Keymoves area be the best way to edit the RAW data to get the information in?

Also, when you use the phantom devices, do any of the device keys light up?

Yes and yes. Just do it from the special protocols tab and it works fine.

None of the device keys light up in phantom device mode.

Thanks Dave, I can't believe that I couldn't find that! Wow, right in front of my face. Doh! I wasn't aware that there was an RDF Spec that would cause IR to do this. Too Cool!

Just looking at the remote, it would seem to be intuitive to double up the phantom buttons on the DVR, CBL, DVD since these buttons have the AUX, SAT and VCR indicators above them.

I think maybe the extender aught to light up those button/leds for the phantoms.

Sounds good to me. Does this mean you're working on an extender? Very Happy

Dave, I wrote a small protocol to turn on the LED for the Phantoms.
