cjh Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hi all. Have one that has me stumped. Have an Atlona 8x8 matrix with ethernet balun RX in a bedroom. Have the IR connected through the matrix to control the endpoint TV. Seems any IR commands won't be sent unless the matrix is on/active for that endpoint. I've setup the TV's driver so that the power on command doesn't get sent until a delay of 8 seconds (has power feedback/control power/send a power on command after a delay of 8 seconds) which is plenty for the matrix to turn on and be working. The IR control, while on, work fine. The problem - when the user hits room off, the matrix is turned off before the IR command can be sent to the TV. I've tried a bit of programming to delay that but can't seem to make it work. What's the best practice or how to get the TV off command sent before the matrix is powered off? Thanks!

mujtaba.khokhar Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Don’t turn the matrix off, this causes EDID issues and it’s not needed at all. then the power off command should work okay. helped a fellow member with their Atlona matrix too and this was advised by atlona tech support Thanks Muj cjh and Jakelay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakelay Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Yep, the Atlona matrices seem to work well when programmed correctly but are a bit finicky in terms of their settings. Sounds like it’s working for you based on Muj’s suggestion. I’m the ‘fellow member’ he was referring to. I can tell you that Atlona tech support was pretty awesome and they spent a good amount of time on a three way screen share with Muj and myself to get my matrix reprogrammed from a non-working mess of an install to up and running pretty darn well. If you are still having issues, I highly recommend contacting Muj to help you out. He rocks! mujtaba.khokhar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
