Shivam Paw Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Hi, Is it possible to make the room off button require a double tap for a specific room? We have a projector (Epson 9300) which when you press power off it makes you press it again before turning off, is it possible to replicate this so it works with the receiver and everything? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAV Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 You setup the driver for the Epson to have a Macro for power off which would be "off, delay, off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic30101 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 editing the driver is the correct way, alternatively if you dont know how to do that, go to the room in question and when power off command is fired you can just add a delay then another pulse of the off command there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means the the driver could (should) be adapted to send the proper off macro (best). Alternatively, you could simply set the Epson to not require confirmation on power off (most have it - good) Lastly, in a pinch, you can program a second power off command to be sent to the projector on room off. (meh, but OK to do). OR you could program agains the room receiving the POWER OFF command (NOT onroom off, on getting the command to power off) to send the projector off code, which would act something like a double press. Note that I wouldn't be surprised if the driver DOES send it twice or more - BUT Epson and other projectors (even some TVs) have an annoying habit of not responding to IR commands for a few seconds on losing an HDMI signal - in which case the driver's off macro should be adapted to add a delay before sending codes. One more note - if a true double press for the room is desired, that is NOT impossible to do - but it is fairly involved, and for sure will require access to ComposerPro.

sonic30101 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 @Cyknight hit the nail on the head. The second pulse is a bandaid but it should work and be simple for someone new to Composer HE to do. C4 thinks the projector is off so no worries about it getting out of sync once you get the amount if time delay needed to consistently turn the projector off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic30101 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 True, it should. But even if it doesn't. If the projector is on the single pulse from c4 to turn the room on wouldn't turn the projector off. Then turning the room off will turn the projector off and get it all back in sync. Either way editing the driver for an off macro is ideal but not 100% needed. Looking at the factory remote it seems to likely be discrete https://www.google.com/search?q=epson+9300+remote&client=ms-android-verizon&prmd=sivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiXquqM18HXAhXL6iYKHVOMA_kQ_AUIEygC&biw=412&bih=718&dpr=2.63#imgrc=oQKqUcfoor1vBM: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivam Paw Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 There’s actually an IP driver for the projector which is what we are using. http://drivers.control4.com/solr/drivers/browse?q=9300+W All I really want is that if I press the room off button on the sr-260 I should get the projector pop up for press again to turn off before the room actually turns off and turns off the Onkyo receiver.

Oh that's all? So yeah, that'll require you to remove every room endpoint you currently have, create virtual endpoints to maintain the available devices, then program power on and off manually. Possible - but why in the world you'd go those lengths is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smarch Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I believe my dealer edited the Projector driver o do just this. When powering off the projector it requires a press, then pause then press again. This can be done in the driver. That way when you hit power off it sends the command twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shivam Paw Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 I’m confused Is it not normal to have to press the off button on a projector twice (one as confirmation) before it turns off? This helps stop accidents which are painful cuz projectors take a long time to turn off and turn on. Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic30101 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 It is not normal with a control system/universal remote, I have customers that would complain about having to press it twice for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smarch Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 To turn off this project, without a remote requires you to press the power button, wait a second and press it again. This can be replicated in the ir driver with a macro for power. No need to double tap the power button on the sr260. The macro will take care of this, needing you to just press it once.
