Sleep Mode Notification

Recommended Posts

So I am guessing this is going to get a big HELL NO but.....

 

Has anyone figured out a way to make the remote display say anything out of the norm? I have a sleep timer I made for the bedroom but would like the remote to say "sleep" when the mode is on.

 

Anyway to do?

Thats neat but....

How would I write that. When I press the red button on my remote it sets a 15 min timer to turn off tv. So basically it would have to change the room name or device name when in sleep mode....

Figuring out how to change the display was the easy part. I'm not sure if you can view a timer countdown on the display or have your system change the room name just because the timer is running, and then having it change back when it expires. I doubt this can be done but can't say for sure.

When in sleep mode, change the current selected device in the room to whatever the fake "Device" is that you put in to have it show up sleep mode on the remote. For example, a basic DVD driver with fake bindings connected, renamed to "sleep mode". When sleep timer expires, turn the room off.

 

No?

Outside of room and source name changes as mentioned above (which are seriously not worth it), no.

 

The CPU / firmware in the remote is seriously constrained, and the functionality is pretty much fixed.

 

Sorry.

Oh, and once asleep, the remote only wakes approximately once / minute to listen for 'alert' notices, for the 'find the remote' functionality.

 

You can't programmatically change the room on the remote, and during 'sleep', it won't pick up source changes until it wakes up.

You would lose control of your current source if you did that. I guess you could program several dummy sources to get around that but that would get tedious.

Yeah I would basically only recommend it if you just wanted to see if it was enabled via the screen on the remote.
