deadsquirrel Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hi, I can see both my denon AV receivers on composer but cant seem to switch either of them on programmaticly or via the monitoring tab. The on/off buttons are there and i can click on the on button, it turns green to indicate on but then switches back to gray immediately as i let go of the mouse button and the received remains off. When i click on watch Sky on my remote it does switch everything on so i know it CAN be done but for some reason it wont do it through Composer HE. Any ideas?

thegreatheed Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 The On and Off button from that virtual control page don't map with most AVR receivers, as they have individual commands to power on and off each zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 For programming, you'd have to check if there is a 'device specific commands' section, there would be power options there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadsquirrel Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Found it. Thanks for the guidance. Can now turn tv, sat and avr on with simple alexa command. great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadsquirrel Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 Ok, so i have it working perfectly. I say "alexa, turn on TV" and the avr turns on, Tv turns on and sky box turns on. It even presses cancel buttin to get out of the new default planner so it goes straight to TV. but Is there a way i can set the channel? There is an option on the driver but it does not seem to do anything and nothing in Device specific commands . Ideally i would like specific commands made such as "alexa, Watch bbc news" and for it to do all of the above + set channel to 503 on the skyq box. Tried a delay of 5 seconds but even from Moitoring it wont work so im assuming its a driver issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadsquirrel Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 ok, managed to do that by keying each key individually. This is what i have up to now. fine tune it later on once i have some more time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic30101 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 if you go to media and add channel favorites you can change that script to be a lot shorter (1 entry), plus c4 does not know this room is currently on since you aren't programmatically selecting a source in that room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadsquirrel Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 Ahaa.. ok is that why the remote does not work after a use a sound command? Let me have a look around to see how to programmaticly select a source but im assuming that will be in the AVR right? Will check out media also. Thanks for your help!

sonic30101 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Go to the room in question and select the desired video source and all the appropriate items will turn on and switch if the bindings are correct. Also if you set up your channels in the media tab you will be able to call up favorite channels without doing the numbers and delays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
