hike Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 In composer, how do I program to switch rooms on the remote?For example: SR-250 is setup in the Master BedroomWife uses "list" to turn off light in Master Bath. The remote stays set on the Master Bath.Later wife picks up remote to hit "Watch" and turn on TV but it no workee as it's not set on the Master Bedroom...I want to have the remote default back to Master Bedroom perhaps on wake or after an amount of time etc.Hope I explained that right!Thanks!Hike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henniae Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I don't think you can program the Sr-250 to switch rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hike Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Bummer, doesn't this seem like a useful feature that wouldn't be too hard to program?Why not map the button pushes LIST-LOCATION-etc..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILoveC4 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I agree that this should be an option, but unfortunately it isn't. I wish I could program a button press on the SR-250 to toggle between two commonly used rooms (just like you, master bedroom and master bath).Maybe sometime in the future.

I don't have the remote with me know ...My SR-250 in the Master Bedroom is generally used to control that roomFor me to change rooms on the SR-250 remote I have to hit the following buttons in order to do so:1st I hit the "LIST" button on the upper left side of the remote.Then I navigate on the screen of the remote to "LOCATIONS" and select "Enter"Then I navigate to "2nd Floor"Then I navigate to "Master Bath"At this point the remote is no longer controlling functions in the master bedroom, it is controlling the Master Bath.The issue seems to be that there is no way to hit this sequence of buttons programatically, nor is there a "switch rooms" macro or command for the remote in Composer.I see when selecting commands for a room that there is a "FUNCTION" command....could that be same as "LIST"?

AJ_ Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 This is why I moved all the components from the MBath into my MBed. Much easier to manage with the remote. Although I could play two different sources in these, I haven't had the need to so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvlboy Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 OP, if I remember correctly the sr-250, you can program color buttons (blue, green, yellow and red) and button # and *. This is another way to program other room devices, instead of going through all the button press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letran Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 If you figure out how to do that (reprogram the wife) let me know. But that will take longer. Try theseI have the same issues. What helped me out is I programmed the double tap functions on the switches and dimmers in these rooms to carry out the common functions, play music, turn on tv, room of etc. An addition of a keypad on each room eliminates largely the switching rooms on the remote. OR I've also thought of doing this. Add the video sources on your Master Bath the same video sources and functions as your Master Bedroom so that you do not have to switch rooms and still control the Master TVHope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharmdsmith Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 While this won't help you with the room change, it will help the situation you described. I can't remember what version this started on, but with at least 2.0 (maybe earlier) you can hide/show lights for different rooms. For example there is a vanity light in my master bath that is most commonly used. So I modified the navigator with composer so it will show up if my remote is on master bedroom or master bathroom. Now I don't have to switch rooms to access and control the vanity light. I can keep the room at master bedroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 There is currently no way to programmatically change a remote's room.RyanEWhat is the MACRO function, in Favorites, all about in 2.0.4? I noticed only a dealer can set these up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylats Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 you can create a lighting scene to turn off the lights in bath and map them to a colored button on the remote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
