TV Source Swap

[Topfox]

 Basically what I would like to do is through a one button press swap active sources between Tvs.  Example 

TV 1 is on Cable 1

TV 2 is on Cable 2

Id like to have a single button that would swap sources between the two TVs, so on press it would be

TV 1 on Cable 2

TV 2 on Cable 1

Then if I press the same button again it will be

TV 1 on Cable 1

TV 2 of Cable 2

 

There used to be a driver that did this back in the day, but C4 let that die back in 2.9 I think.  I keep wanting to try newish Multi Display feature, but it just doesn't work for me in how I use my setup.  It looks like Room Control Driver tasks last watched source, but can't seem to figure out how to pass that to a different TV to change their source.

string variable x2 - must have two TVs in two different rooms

WHEN button is pressed
SET string variable a to Room 1 current selected device
SET string variable b to Room 2 current selected device
delay 250ms
SET Room 1 current selected device to the value of string variable b
SET room 2 current selected device to the value of string variable a

Thanks. Will give it a shot. Yep each tv is in its own room.

Totally worked. Thanks, but the variable type needed to be Device is instead of String. Otherwise you couldn’t pick current select device. 

I am beyond excited this is working.  Ive missed the ability to do this ever since 2.10!  Lol.  Guess I should have asked a lot sooner.  Thanks again SO much.

Ooops sorry, yes device variable
