"All AV Off"

[Mongo]

Hey Guys,

I just got composerHE - and right now only have audio/video set up on my system with lights to come in spring. I have 5 TV;s located in 5 seperate rooms.

Central system in closet with

2 cable boxes

2 media players

Bluray

C4 audio matrix

6X4 video matrix

HC-300

HC-200 connected to one TV ( connected to reciever, and surround sound speakers)

I saw on the dealer demo of IPAD there is a "tab" with a shortcut to "all AV OFF", a simple one button press.

I was wondering if I can program this in composer ME?

Almost like a "goodnight" feature?

You can with composer HE but not ME.

In ComposerHE (which you said you have up top, was ComposerME a typo?) just program the system to send an "off" command to each room upon that button press.

The dealer gave me Composer ME, but I downloaded Composer HE from the website under the downloads section. That off command" makes sense thanks!

ComposerHE is a licensed product that requires a key to activate.

Will turn off the lights as well?

[dogdvr]

No, just A/V

you need seperate lines to turn off lighting

Or to turn off lights, setup a lighting scene with all the lights in it, set for off.

Then it's a single line of code.

^That's how I do it.

Yeah, as mentioned, room off only turns off A/V.

Apologies for this thread hijack, but is that why my ComposerHE 1.8.0 now gives me a vague "encountered a problem and needs to close"?

I run it in a virtual machine on my Mac, previously installed under Parallels Desktop but I migrated that VM to VirtualBox using VMware Converter (don't ask). Everything else appears to work fine, including ComposerHE 1.8.2 -- I don't remember if I actually ever tried using 1.8.0 after the migration until just this week. I tried the "Repair" and also the "Remove" + "Install" and neither made any difference. Some stray component not removed by "Remove"? Possibly something different about the new VM that makes the licensed copy invalid on it? The install did not ask me for the license key -- I don't recall if it did originally when I first installed it on the Parallels VM. Since it won't start I don't know what else to do.

Still works fine in the Parallels VM, but that's an employer-owned copy of Parallels on a work computer which I'm happily giving up at end of January to spend the rest of my years living rather than working. I wanted to get away from that dog, Parallels, for my occasional Windows needs.

My system is still at 1.8.0 for now, so I don't really want to try running 1.8.2 against it.
