david capp Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 All of a sudden our control4 system (iPad app) will no longer turn one of our tv's off and on. We have to use the actual tv remote to do that. It turns on the surround sound and cable box associated with the room/tv, but never the TV. Have had the system for a year and this just started happening a few days ago. The RF indicator on the tv flashes red with the remote, but still no luck in turning the tv itself on. Appreciate any thoughts on how to troubleshoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knowitall Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Did the IR bud fall off the sensor on the tv? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david capp Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 i came home and noticed it was hanging down from the back of the tv. it still has wires attached ok, but maybe I am sticking it back in the wrong location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMHarman Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 i came home and noticed it was hanging down from the back of the tv. it still has wires attached ok, but maybe I am sticking it back in the wrong location? Feel around for the sticky part of the TV where it was stuck before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what it is. If you can't find the location, turn on the tv, have someone hit room off as you move it around the bezel until it turns off. Or...provide a model of the TV and I'm sure someone can point you to the location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then control4 will think everything is off, and won't send the power command again. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turls Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Another possibility is the controller the IR bud is hooked to has locked up. If you have multiple controllers in a project you may not notice it affecting other devices. Probably not in this case, but something to keep in mind.

Appreciate any thoughts on how to troubleshoot Use the actual remote to pin point the location for sticking the IR bud. You may have to turn on/off several times.
