Cannot assign macro to Power key on 6131n

Post by zaldwaik »

I am trying to program two power buttons into one (TV and Receiver). I am able to create a macro that does, and it works if I assign it to other buttons (e.g. thumps up). However, if I assign it to the Power button it does not work.

The power button has no moves. I tried to assign the macro to thumps_up, and added a move to map it to the Power button, but that did not work. When pressing the Power button no Led blink as usually happens with pressing any button.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The power button is a restricted button, if you want to get around the restriction try the extender.
Remember to provide feedback to let us know how the problem was solved and share your upgrades.

Tip: When creating an upgrade, always include ALL functions from the oem remote, even if you never plan on assigning them to a button. Complete function lists makes an upgrade more helpful to others.

Thanks. I found one extender for 6131, I presume that it would work for both the real old, and the old one.

Do you know if installing the extender is something that can be reversed?
