elee532 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Just added a Halo Touch to my system. I’m wondering what ability I have to customize things as the end user? Some things I was hoping to replicate from my SR260… The “.” button cycles through my different lighting modes. The red button cycles through surround sound modes using the Denon Surround driver The “#” button turns the video on my projector on and off Are these things I can setup on the Halo myself, or do I need a dealer to do it? If the former, is it done online or via the Contro4 HE app? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 the red button should do this automatically…there is no . Or # or else they would work the same… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elee532 Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 Sorry if I was unclear. I understand that those buttons don’t exist (I don’t see a red button either). My question is how best to replicate something similar, and can I do it myself or do I need a dealer. Can I create my own touch buttons to do these things? Can I program an unused button? Thanks @msgreenf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 The red button is there. You just have to press the multi-color button and then one of the buttons lights up red and you press that. If you have HE you can program different options yourself. But if you don't have it then you will need your dealer to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elee532 Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 Thanks! I haven’t messed with ComposerHE for a while. Gonna download and see what I can figure out. I don’t see any multi-color button. What am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopedogg88 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Halo touch doesn't have it. Color buttons are on the touch screen after you select a source. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk BY96 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopedogg88 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 You can program the circle (Record) and square (Stop) button to do 2 of the things...see my other post. You could also use Custom Buttons agent to program a bunch more things but those will be on the touchscreen, not quick hard buttons.

elee532 Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 That worked perfectly. The "." and "#" commands were successfully copied to the Record and Stop buttons. Thank you!! I also do see now that the color buttons appear after I select a source. EXCEPT, they don't appear when I select the Apple TV as my source. Is there some particular reason why this is the case? How difficult is it to use the Custom Buttons agent to program things to be on the touchscreen? Can you nudge me in the right direction to get started? Or, would it be better for me to schedule a tutorial session? Thanks!1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopedogg88 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 just go to Agents tab, then Custom Buttons agent, then add a Custom Button menu with some items, then go to programming and to Custom Buttons and program the menu options that you created. Apple TV doesn't have color buttons on its remote, therefore they don't show up when you select apple tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elee532 Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 Thanks @chopedogg88. I couldn’t figure how to program the custom buttons agent. Thinking I’ll just email you offline and pay to have it done. Regarding Apple TV and color buttons, it seems odd that the Apple TV driver includes the option to assign commands to the color buttons. Not asking for any comment, just making an observation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
