discipulus1 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Hello, Has anyone tried integrating one of these new Flex boxes Comcast / Xfinity is giving out? It's similar to Apple TV or Fire TV box. I tried using the X1 driver but it wouldn't pair with the remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopedogg88 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I've used the xfinity IP driver and it worked great. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdepaola Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Works fine on the xi6, have several up and running. The bigger issue is the xi6, honestly. It’s a good box but it does suffer from some connection issues here and there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got several xi6 boxes, they are the wireless boxes. The xfinity IP driver works for these the same way at the x1 boxesSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I'm aware of what box they are talking about and my answer stands, I've used the Xfinity IP driver and it worked perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello guys, when adding the Xfinity X1 IP driver, these are the instructions which worked great for the X1 boxes but how do you do it on these remotes that don't have the same buttons... or do I have the wrong IP driver. The one im using is the 2/22/2020 Xfinity X1 driver SETUP STEPS: 1) Activate IP Control on your STB (this requires the Xfinity Remote and an Ethernet connection to the SB): * Press and Hold the Xfinity button for 3 seconds. * Press the "DOWN", "DOWN", "3" buttons. * This will open the STB Diagnostics Menu (there will be several seconds of lag while it loads). * Scroll down to 'Remote Controls' and select. * Scroll to IP Control and select. * With the Diagnostics IP Control page open: - Press and Hold "A" for 5 seconds. - Press "4", "7", "7" buttons ("I","P","R"). - Press and Hold "A" for 5 seconds. * A message will tell you that you are activating IP Control and your STB will reboot. 2) After STB reboot, return to the Diagnostics Menu and return to the IP Remote section. Verify that IP is enabled, and note the IP Remote LAN Address. 3) Setup a static IP Address registration in your router's DHCP menu (beyond the scope of this document) 4) Reboot the STB if necessary to obtain the new IP Address. 5) In ComposerPro's Connections -> Network Tab -> IP Network section, find the Xfinity X1 driver, and enter it's IP Address in the Identify Window. 6) In the Xfinity driver's Actions Tab, press the 'Pair to Xfinity X1' button. This will pair Control4 with the STB. 7) In ComposerPro's Connections -> Control/AV tab, make appropriate A/V connections from the Xfinity X1 driver to appropriate endpoints. In ComposerPro, select File -> Refresh Navigators. The Xfinity X1 STB should be controllable through Control4. HORNZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopedogg88 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I'm not sure, the flex box I did came with a standard X1 remote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdepaola Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 What remote did you get? The model should be on the back or under the battery cover. Mine came with an XR15 which still has all the required buttons. Honestly every xfinity remote I've seen has an xfinity button as well as arrow keys for up and down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdepaola Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Interesting, mine came with the xr15 like I said. If you have other xfinity boxes can you pair one of those remotes with your xi6 so you can get into the set-up menu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discipulus1 Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 Thank you everyone for all of your help. Looks like I'll be heading to the Xfinity store and begging for a XR15 remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobskibo Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Were you able to swap the XR16 remote with the XR15 remote?… I’m interested in setting the IP control. Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
