Cyknight Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Gotcha. When projector turns onset lighting No need for room on this one - the issue seen by OP has to do with the driver not reporting pause settings etc - device power on state is tracked by the system at all times.

Gary Leeds UK Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Yes we was - but it all works now - we use room for pause and play , if we wish do anything funky we program the device - I even looked at the 2.6 user manual for programming !!

Cyknight Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 The problem with using device play/pause is that it depends on the driver to have proper reporting implemented (and of course for the device to have the ability to report the status you want). Room commands however are tracked by the system itself. To expand on that, device on/off is ALSO tracked by the system so it knows what to turn on/off and when - it's how it knows not to send the -likely toggle- power command to your cable box or blu-ray player if it's already in use in another room. This is why you can normally program on a source or display (or whatever) turning on/off, and you can program off of room commands (representing 'when the system sends this command also do...) but you can't usually rely on 'when device is paused' style programming (representing if the device reporting it's in this xxxx state) - unless it's a full two way driver (serial or IP) AND the device can report it AND the driver actually looks for it. There ARE drivers (and devices) out there that do this very well, and it looks like we'll be getting more and more of them as time goes on.
